#1 Because 2000 years of exile---among people who hate you and will use any excuse to attack you, is long enough to ensure certain genetic changes.

Interesting, and all this time I thought it was the thirty pieces of silver.

#4 Any different than the white male pajamaboys on the anti-Western Civ, anti-male bigotry bandwagon of the Left?

or as #3^ would point out -

The (Dark) Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

#5 LG is correct.
If the tables were turned and the media and hollywood leaned Right we would be complaining about the very same people being flag waiving, homeland loving Israel patriots.

#6 There has been no need for the Jews to embrace their heritage over their country here. Given the fact that historically Jews in western nations leaned left and for socialist views it makes sense that they not only support the left, but the left's view of Israel itself.

Time will tell with the left going full tilt for fascist ideologies if the Jewish support stays with them.

#7 I think it is more fear for their own and their family's safety. The threat of Anti-Semitism comes from the left, and aggravating it by openly supporting the right is courting danger from it. Recall that Marx was rabidly anti-Semitic; also, right and left had different meanings in Europe. The Nazi's were a socialist party and all major German Jewish organizations claimed loyalty and support for them, and denounced foreign boycotts even in the late 1930s. Their fears were absolutely correct, though their appeasement did them no good.
Doubtless the few remaining Jews in Iran and Syria proclaim their loyalty to the regimes (as do Christians there) and only that keeps them alive.

#8 This started some time after the 67 war. Jews stopped worrying about whether Israelis were going to be pushed into the sea and began wondering whether Israel was being too hard on the Poor Dears.

#9 Maybe that's just what living in New York City and Los Angeles will do to you. Think about it: you read the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times, you're always surrounded by other loonies. You learn to be dependent on the big city services and infrastructure instead of independent. It's that urban environment that affects a lot of people the same way as it does the Jews.

#11 In Germany, after the wuz, it was called PearlSchine, as pure as a pearl, the Zionist entity and its loathsome armed forces aspire to this same degree of guiltlessness.

Hell wit it I sez.

#12 "Why So Many Jews Support The Left - And Why They're So Anti- Israel"

Because they're suicidal?

Because they're idiots?

(Though no reason they can't be both.)
