Thanks to Obama… Jewish Support For Republican Party Has Grown Dramatically Since 2008
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 2, 2012, 5:21 PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lectures Barack Obama in the Oval Office on the dangers facing Israel back in May.
A new poll finds that more Jews are moving to the Republican Party since 2008.
Forward reported:
Jewish support for the Republican Party has grown dramatically since 2008 nationwide, a new analysis of survey data out from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press suggests.
The data found that the shift in the GOP direction has been more significant than among the general public.
The findings could point to trouble for the Democrats in the 2012 presidential election, where both parties are counting on strong showings among Florida’s Jewish voters in particular.
“The increase among Jews is greater than in the general public, and greater than the increase in an number of other religious groups,” said Alan Cooperman, associate director for research at Pew.
Jews who support or lean Republican jumped from 20% in 2008 to 29% in 2011. And Jews who support or lean Democratic fell from 72% in 2008 to 65% in 2011. The 2011 study has a 6.5% margin of error.
Republican Jewish officials greeted the survey as a confirmation of trend they claim to have observed for years.
“Jews are shifting away from their traditional allegiance to the Democratic Party and are showing a willingness to support the Republican,” said Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition. “”The Democrats continue to lose support among Jewish voters.”
No president in US history has done more to jeopardize the survival of Israel than Barack Obama. If Jews want to see Israel survive they will vote Republican in November.

Why would anyone of the Jewish faith be a democrat anyway? Far left facism didn’t work out too well for them prior to and during WW II.

#10,
I noticed that too.
To the above story, why does (through this poll) 65% of the Jews still support Obama? They still support a guy that wants to carve Israel up to the pre 1967 borders? Damn, talk about stuck on stupid.

I can never get over the absolute hatred that cancer called our “president” has in his eyes for our allies.

Don’t hold your breath. I just came from a “Cas for Israel” talk given by Alan Dershowitz at the Univ. of Penn. The mediator asked the first question: What do you think og the policies advocated by Obama and the Republican candidates? You knou what? Depspite everything anti-Israeli Obama has done during the last 3 years, Dershowitz supports him. Dershowitz identied himslef 2x as a progressive. he will be casting his vote for the Democrat in 2012, 2016, 2020 and every election after that. there will always be some excuse to vote for the democrat, the progressive, the mis-named liberal.
I am a pro-Israel advocate. But I left that talk disgusted.

And what did Obama tell the French Prime Minister? That he had to put up with alot more than the French Prime Minister has to put up with from Netanyahu? And look at that look on Obama’s face sitting there like he’s bored to death listening to Netanyahu straighten him out on the facts, I can see the hatred on his face for a Jew he’d love to get rid of by telling his Arab friends to just go ahead and nuke the hell out of Israel.
Remember Obama always appears to stay above the fray. He always seems to not know what just happened. He always seems to be so far removed from the fight that he is the only one who can say what needs to be done in order to end hostilities. Ah yes, Obama the merciful, the One, the one we’ve been waiting for, and the Massiah! Why do so many Jews still support Obama? I can only guess why but it’s got to be something to do with Obama’s being the one who can bring peace between the Middle Eastern nations and Israel because he is part of each one who has just as deep connections in the region as those who live there. Yeah, that might mean something if it wasn’t such a lie!
Obama can only bring war because he doesn’t know what to do in order to prevent the Muslims from attacking the Jews of Israel. But if anything Obama is the man who brings about the anti-Christ by being the one who, because of his ignorance didn’t want to support Israel so the Arabs would think twice about striking Israel. And be the allie that stuck to Israel like glue. Obama is stuck to being a Marxist and the only people they have historically supported are the Arabs.

Yeah, that’s right, isn’t it. Don’t they know what Obama and his administrtion are? Haven’t they read anything that has been written about who he associated with before he was President? Don’t they know any of the dangerous people that he has continued to associate with since he’s been President? Don’t they see what is happening to our nation? Don’t they read news sites on the Internet that we all go to so that we can stay on top of what the liberals are doing to our nation and our fellow American’s? Can’t they see? Don’t they have eyes to see, and ears to hear? These must not be practicing Jews because if they were they would be able to see the strong signs of the End Times that are fortold in Daniel and Isaiah and other books in the Tora? What the heck is wrong with them? No one who is one of them but has seen the light has sat down with some of the strongest leaders and told them and showed them the truth about who and what Obama is and what he is doning?
SpideyTerry commented:
Glad to see, but how Jewish Americans didn’t figure it out when the first Rev. Wright story broke is beyond me. Obama is an anti-semite buffoon that would gladly sell out Israel for something shiny.
Molon Labe commented:
Jews will continue to vote for Obama ubtil the day the Islamists/Marxists are marching them into the ovens. There are none so blind who will not see.

I don’t understand. Santorum won one, Newt won one, and Romney won one (primary). So how does that make Romney “inevitable,” much less “electable”?
Sandy commented:
To the Jewish voting population in this country I say better late then never. You can add to this number — Jews who have been polled and lie to Pollsters by telling them they love Obama. The Pro-Israel Republican Party is a nice place to land for Jews who feel friendless without the Democratic Party. Old Jews such as Dershowitz will be loyal Dems until they die because they believe that Roosevelt got them out of the Depression. For the younger set, they are getting a good lesson on just how divisive Liberals can be and how anti-semetic.

Why would Christians be Obama supporters after what’s been happening to Christian Arabs? Has Obama even called out these Muslim Groups for these attacks? The sound of his silence is deafening.
Fact is if you’re not poor or a person of color — you can eat chit and die for all Obama cares.
Patriot Act commented:
Wow, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Out of the abundance of photos we’ve all seen of Obama, have you ever seen one with such a look of disdain on his face? Sometimes it’s hard to believe that he’s not a jew-hating stealth Muslim practicing taqiyya.
Second place goes to the photo of him in the WH situation room as the Navy Seals take out Osama Bin Laden. It seems all too consistent that he would look downright pissed off as we take out Islam’s prime terrorist hero.

Mo commented:
Most Jews are not conservatively religious, i.e. do not follow traditional Judaism, and are liberals first. Sadly, they conflate Judaism and liberalism, but classical Judaism is NOT a modern liberal’s religion, though it does have aspects of some collectivism within it; however, in turn, this was within religious communities and not meant to be on a “state”/nationwide basis, outside of perhaps some of the strictures in ancient Israel.
Judaism’s structure is based on voluntary charity, though it was religiously an obligation and a moral imperative. But it wasn’t the modern welfare state. And Judaism was a capitalist religion, based on free markets but with laws that tempered some of the problems of laissez-faire, such as dealing with externalities such as pollution, and there were also rules about worker’s rights as well as worker obligations.
Jews with no religious background have taken so much out of context from the ancient works, and disregarded the real nature of what Judaism advocates. More traditional Jews are more heavily conservative in their voting. They were a big part of replacing Anthony Weiner with a Republican Catholic, even against another Jew, because the Jewish Dem stood for things inimical to religious Jews.
I’m Jewish, and conservative, and I do hope more of my fellow Jews will shy away from the Left, which is the real repository of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment today, and the biggest threat to Jews and to freedom. Obama is a typical Far Left anti-Israel bum, and also hates freedom…but most Jews I knew in 2008 ignored all the very obvious signs, the Wright association, the “lost” tape of Obama and Khalidi….sad.

It amazes me how many Whites, Jews and East Asians vote Left.
We’re all classified as “privileged” because we do well on tests and so the cultural Left feels no remorse for ruthlessly discriminating against us in college applications.
Why would you support a political movement that wants to prevent your kids and grandkids from getting into the best schools? Doesn’t make any damn sense.
And worse for Whites, the Democrat Party has pretty much become the “Bash and Discriminate Against White People Party”.
And even worse for Jews, the activist Left openly supports the “Palestinian” “resistance”. Israel is perhaps the only country that the Western Left hates as much as they hate America.

Hesaid most american Jews don’t care about Israel at all.
oldguy commented:
A warning to all Jews- Can you pass for a non Jew? From what I see coming, you had better be able to. As far as israel is concerned, their main problem is they allowed too many American Jews into their country. Same as Florida.
