Why are Christians pro-Jewish?

78 percent of Jews voted for Obama in 2008:

The rest of Jews are neocons or communists who are atheists or religious Jews who despise Christians and Christianity. Their religion tells them to support Jews but reality is so different from their fantasy of the poor victimized Jew.

 

You're expecting rational behaviour from brainwashed individuals.

Dont worry, the jews are almost done destroying them. Its just a matter of time now.

 

Not all Christians support Jews at all. In the Bible belt lots of them don't. But who cares anyway?

 

Christians love Jews. At least the majority.

 

Most Jews have always voted Democratic.

 

Got a link for that? A majority here don't. Maybe nationwide you could get to 51%, but that still leaves lots of Christians that don't "love" Jews. But again, who cares?

 

Jews are our Allie, most Americans like Israel. It's only normal.

 

That's pretty odd, isn't it? I think it has something to do with Armageddon and the Christian notion that they will convert Jews to Christianity on the final day. Jews typically scoff at the idea, but that doesn't prevent Christians from trying.

 

The fundies and Dominionists want all the Jews to return to the Holy Land so Jesus will return.. Then 1/3 of Jews will die.

Is asinine stuff but then they interpret Revelation as futuristic and think Gog and Magog will come in the future.

 

I think that's gradually changing, otherwise we'd have already invaded Syria. Time for Spielberg to make more movies.

 

You are disgusting.

 

Israeli-American relations have been in the news recently with tensions boiling with Iran and the conclusion of AIPAC’s summit last weekend in Washington.

Discussing both topics with my liberal and conservative friends recently has made me ponder the following big question: Why do most Jewish-Americans vote Democrat in every election?

Many conservatives I know are very pro-Israel. Not only do they unquestionably support Israel’s foreign policy, but they strongly defend its threats to strike Iran to prevent it from going nuclear. All the 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls (except Ron Paul) spoke at AIPAC pledging their unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself, but also blasted President Obama for being “weak” and “soft” on Iran (I’m aware it’s an election season).

President Obama spoke at AIPAC as well and retaliated against his GOP rivals by blasting them for “beating the drums of war” against Iran. It’s also no secret that Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu haven’t had a strong relationship throughout Obama’s presidency.

More importantly, though, is what I hear from liberals regarding Israel. Many of them feel it is wrong that American foreign policy is too “blindly in support of Israel.” They feel the rest of the world is more pro-Palestine than pro-Israel, and that it only makes the rest of the world “hate us even more” by always being on Israel’s side and continuing to support it militarily.

In other words, one party seems to be faithfully and staunchly supporting Israel and Israeli policy at every step of the way, while the other is reluctantly supporting Israel with a very critical and cautious tone. But during election season, exit poll data shows the overwhelming majority of Jewish-Americans vote Democrat every time, going back until at least ‘72. It’s not even close.

Two of my best friends are staunch Jewish-American Republicans, and I’m shocked to find out they’re in the minority in the Jewish-American community. I’m not saying Democrats are anti-Israel, but Republicans sure seem to defend Israel more frequently and passionately.

So why do most Jewish-Americans vote Democrat? Are Republicans supporting Israel for Jewish-American votes or more for evangelical votes? Moreover, do Democrats really support Israel? Does President Obama? Or is the Israeli lobby “forcing” American politicians to support Israel?

I’d especially like to hear from Jewish-Americans on these questions.

 

I know.

Theres a verse that says God will bless those who bless Israel.

What do you mean they are our ally?

No, its just the impression I get from the GOP and the Christians I talk to. The only Christians I know who don't support Israel are White Nationalists and libertarians and are certainly not a majority. I believe it because there are lots of Christian Zionists and I doubt the foreign policy of the country would be pro-Israel if it weren't for Christians. You can prove me wrong if you have a source.

Well its important Christian support causes terrorism here. We give billions to Israel.

 

Jewish-Americans have next to nothing to do with Israel.

I don't want to be disgusting.

 

Brilliant. Then stop being a racist.

 

Oh. I didn't know that. Thanks.

lol. Yeah.

I'm not aware that I am a racist.

 

If jews are your allies then why are the jews

1. flooding your country with non whites

2. defiling every conservative value

3. promoting free trade policies that have destroyed americas industrial capacity and middle class

Its an entirely one sided love affar im afraid. But hey keep worshipping them, soon they'll destroy you completely and we wont have to suffer you anymore.

 

I think the fundies do believe that. But that is far from what most Christians believe.

 

Why do people start threads, and others post in them, asking questions for which they do not want answers?

 

Sorry.. this asinine thinking has invaded even main stream Christian churches.. Episcopalians, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists.. and now we have Evangelical Catholics.

 

1. It would seem like it's mostly Democrats that are allowing illegals to come into this country and believe in open borders.

2. What do you mean by that? I am married to a Jew and she believe a lot like I do. So do most I have met through her family.

3. How do you blame all that on the Jews. It's our own government that pushed NAFTA and Free Trade on us with little or no regulations.

 

I was a Methodist and now a Baptist and neither of them have, or had that belief that they preached.

 

They do now...........

 

Sometimes 'objectivity' gets confused with 'disgusting'.
