#1 not to mention the fact that teh American Jewish community overwhelmingly favors the democrat party, one which favors dhimmitude and capitulation to Israel's enemies, Joe L and Ed Koch are exceptions

That's weird, I really liked Ronin, The spanish prisoner (excellent!), Spartan (idem), even Wag the dog... a good surprize to find this writer to be a non-idiotarian.

#3 If Mamet believes that jewish observance correlates with a realistic view of anti semitism and left wing quackery he might be correct. However, it is likely a weak correlation. There are plenty of reform rabbis and leftist conservative rabbis who keep Kashrut (although maybe not at a strict level), who pray often (maybe not 3 times every day), who attend many a bris and many a bar mitzvah and who have completely bought into the left wing agenga, including the 'plight of the palestinians' nonsense.

#4 I'm not sure if this is relevant to this article but interesting none the less.

#5 In. Exactly as religious as I need be, unashamed, and actively supporting both Israel and America. I posted an article on the trend of increasing numbers of Jews voting Republican, contradicting the "Exit polls say 87% voted Dem" canard I heard again on NPR this afternoon. But mhw is absolutely right. Like so many analyses, it's incomplete.

#6 Hasidic Jews were the key bloc that defeated Congresswoman Sue Kelly(R) and voted in an ex-rock musician (D) instead because she didn't meet their demands for large allocations of money to their settlement, which has been aggressively encroaching on local resources and other legal jurisdictions.

They also supported Hillary in exchange for all sorts of other goodies for their dense settlement in NY.

Their identity as Jews is quite firm -- it just excludes much respect for their neighbors.

#9 The Chassids (alternate spelling, since it's a transliteration from the Hebrew) are a cult, in my opinion, or perhaps an edge group as anachronistic as the Amish or the Pennsylvania Dutch. On the other hand, they don't stone accidental passers-by who aren't observing the rules they hold for themselves, like the Ultra-orthodox Mea Shearim idiots in Israel who don't like women wearing shorts in hot weather... and the Chassids do work within the rules of the greater society in which they find themselves. Our society happens to accept trading bloc votes for community advantage, so they do so. One branch of the Chassids is openly Zionist, several other branches not, and one branch believes their recently deceased chief rabbi is actually the Messiah, and await his imminent return when they expect him to announce himself.
