Why are all Jews Liberal?
I've noticed that 99% of the Jews are extremely Liberal. I would be surprised to find a Jew that's not Liberal.
It's the military that rescued them from the Nazis. The Republicans support the military & the Liberals are against it.
Israel is also a military state because they're always being attacked by terrorists which Liberals want to reason with & Republicans want to kill.
Michael Savage & a couple other guys are the only Jews who aren't Liberals.
Why are the Jews so Liberal?

Hi Slash...I don't think they are all that liberal at all. Go look up some Hasidic or Orthodox Jews...they are very conservative. I think that what you're seeing is tolerance for their fellow man perhaps. I could be wrong but, perhaps not. I grew up in New York which perhaps has the highest population in the world outside of Israel. I've found both in pretty much equal numbers here. Side: they are not

Yes, I would believe that to be true. I looked at both candidates very seriously and just could not bring myself over to the McCain camp and I would consider myself to be a moderate liberal who has gone to the other side before. I never rule anyone out until they rule themselves out. Side: they are not
Yo Mofo! I'm sick and tired of this crap! I am sick and tired of all these hate crimes, all this intolerance towards us, the Jewish people, that has been going on lately. So I would like you to kindly refrain from making any stereotypical debates of any kind towards any group of people because I feel like people that are full of hate, as I assume you are, should not even be allowed on this site. So please, do us ALL a favor and back off! Side: Yo Mofo

Calm down. No one here is hating on the Jewish people. It's a simple fact that Jews tend to vote Democrat. "In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore won 80% of the Jewish vote." (source) Actually, while googling that, I found a pretty good explanation: Side: chill out dawg

There's absolutely no thought-process involved in this debate question. Why do we even bother with such a terrible question? Look at the description! It screams "I don't know anything and am looking to show it." Go back to school. Learn! For the sake of our generation, put some thought into your ideas. Side: CD will never work with ppl like this

Israel is the Jew capital of the world, and they are very Conservative people. I have a lot of Jewish friends, and some are pretty liberal while others are actually Conservative. i think this whole Liberal Jew thing was just started by someone who wanted to make anything Conservative seem like Nazism.

1. Wasn't it militancy that spawned the Nazi empire in the first place? 2. You're assuming within the argument that military action automatically means conservatism. It's simply a trait assigned to conservatives here in America because these ideals have always been around in our country. In some countries, war-hawks are actually liberals. Even so, being a proponent of military action is only one trait of political background. Woodrow Wilson: progressive Democrat, brought us into WWI FDR ("I... hate... WAR"): Democrat, brought us into WWII Everyone agrees to war if it's necessary. Your argument is very weak. Side: Yo Mofo

1 It was but it was also a bunch of dumbasses who only voted for Hitler because he was a good speaker. 2 Well it is expected to be conservative. If it is by liberals then they are hypocrites. 3 Woodrow Wilson wasn't really a good president. He just did what he had to do. 4 FDR conservatives hate war & people dying too. They just won't hesitate to send their troops to destroy a hostile enemy. & democrats back then were different than democrats now. If FDR was still alive he would probably be a republican, libertarian, or mild democrat. Conservatives agree to war if the enemy won't change. Liberals will resist as much as they can from going to war. Side: unknown
1.He rippled the hearts of several countries in Europe, Slash, they weren't "a bunch of dumbasses" they were multiple and varied populations united by militant hatred and demagoguery. 2. You just skimmed over that part didn't you? I said conservatives here in America like war, in other countries people with differing viewpoints can be war-oriented. Liberal and conservative aren't general philosophies they are defined by the political region. This just means that if you like war, you're not necessarily conservative anyway. The main argument is that: A. War and militancy killed 1,000,000's of Jews before saving them. B. The outcome of the holocaust doesn't bind them to be eternally grateful to war-mongering. C. Jews may be war-heads anyway, Isreal has been a place of war for millenia. Supporting alternative energy, socialistic governing, and liberal social agendas doesn't make them "hypocrites".

Most Jews are social liberals. Economically it might be a lot closer to 50/50. When you are a part of a people that ran a war machine back in the Bronze Age, were overthrown militarily, then murdered en masse by another militaristic regime you kind of get tired of all the warmongering. The religious right scares the crap out of them because they are dead wrong but so sure of themselves. Side: most are social liberals at least

Well I'm also socially liberal. On issues like religion, abortions, porn, sex, I agree with the liberals. On economic issues like military, capitalism, guns, death penalty, taxes, I agree with the conservatives. I guess that's a reasonable reason why they are against the army now. Side: unknown

I was mainly refuting your title, which makes a blanket statement. However, I'd like to see some stats that back up your 99% mark. I'd agree that they probably lean liberal, but I'd expect a closer divide, like 60/40. Interestingly, the Neo-conservative movement has a disproportionate number of Jewish members. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Side: unknown

While it is an extreme exaggeration to say that all Jews are liberal, statistically Jews are one of the most liberal demographics in the American population. However the trend with religion is the more religious a person is, the more likely they are to be conservative. So while Jews on average tend to vote Democratic, orthodox Jews tend to vote Republican. Side: most are social liberals at least

Well in the old testament there were alot of wars & fighting. That's why conservatives (like my parents) support fighting against evil. Other types of christians like jehovas witnesses (which my dad's mom is) are against fighting back because Jesus said put down your swords & war no more. But I still don't know why the Jews are like that. Side: unknown
