What do American Jewish Liberals Do Now?

As most conservative Jews will tell you, not much will change because most liberal Jews are completely secular Jews who don't care about religion or Israel. If you look at the list of political issues liberal Jews care about from your article, you'll see none of it has to do with the Jewish faith. They're pro-abortion, affirmative action, immigration, anti-zionist, etc - most of their positions are either in direct contrast with the faith (not their faith, as they don't have faith) or have little or nothing to do with it.

Now if the rampant anti-semitism taking hold in America's Universities starts to really impact their secular Jewish children or spreads beyond academia, then they may have a problem but otherwise, I don't see them becoming less liberal.

I agree with you in principle but I'd also say the days of the 75% democrat voting bloc are coming to a close.

maybe if/when the Stabbing Jews for Peace, I mean Students for "Justice" in Palestine people start stabbing Jews on American campuses on a regular basis. Until then, the Dems can probably count on the liberal Jewish vote.

Why change it to Standing Jews for Peace?

Why not just keep the "P " for Palestine?

Why did you change stabbing to standing? I don't know for sure - I can't take credit for the quote. It actually came from a Jewish student group (at NYU, I believe) who mocked the SJP movement with "Stabbing Jews for Peace" posters on campus. I think they also changed the P to further mock the SJP's claims of peacefully protesting what they believe to be an occupation - it happened around the time of all the stabbing incidents of the most recent intifada so I think that had a lot to do with it.
 
Yeah, and maybe Jews will start going to WWE smackdowns, NASCAR races , and Kenny Chesney concerts with you guys too, once they realize how great voting Republican is for them.

sounds like a touched a bit of a nerve there. u a WWE fan? NASCAR? crappy country music? all of the above?
 
this thread shows how much of a Fox News bubble some people live in.

yes, if only more people realized what a HUGE threat that radical Islam, street gangs, welfare recipients smoking dope, and social security benefits were to our everyday existence, we'd ALL be voting Republican...

I'm a fan of watermelon, fried chicken, and ribs.

Seems like most people are, other than those vegetarians.

Some vegetarians like watermelon.

If only more vegetarians woke up to the fact that Radical Islam is the greatest threat to their daily existence, they'd start voting Republican. it's only a matter of time.

I'm pretty sure Republican voters don't lump Social Security benefits in with radical Islam, street gangs and welfare recipients of smoking dope.

Almost every Republican voter has surely paid payroll taxes all of their working lives to support Social Security, and is expecting Social Security benefits to be available for themselves when they too retire.

I eat cantaloupe once a year just to make sure I still don't like. This year I learned that I still don't like it.

I like cantaloupe (orange inside), but I do not like honeydew (green inside).

And I have never met anyone, of any color, race, gender or sexual identity that did not like watermelon.

I'm indifferent on watermelon. I always manage to buy it when it's out of season and it's bland as hell. But when it's eaten at the right time, damn good.

Watermelon 'flavored' foods, generally candy? Hate it.

When I got out of work thanksgiving morning, I called my mom and asked if there was anything she needed for the dinner, that I could pick up on the way and she mention a few small items one of which was some kind of juice for my year old niece, since mostly all the beverages were pop, beer, or that sparkling grape juice which you can't put in a sippy cup without hilarious results. So I saw this at the grocery store, and she loved it, I even tried a bit and it's pretty refreshing.

Honeydew can be good if it's perfect. Any less than perfect, not so much.
