I still can't understand why American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the
Democratic Party. By looking at a recent LA Times poll, Michael
Barone does a nice job interpreting how party affiliation affects how
one views the current crisis between Israel and Hezbollah. Not
surprisingly, if one identifies him or herself as Republican, it increases
one's likeliness to support Israel. American Jewish support for
the Democratic Party is even more puzzling if one subscribes to the
theory that the survival of Judaism is dependant on the survival of
Israel.
