Everybody knows what a hypocrite looks like, so here's a link to a PAC funding Donald Trump:

Which I'm sure is essentially different in ways too numerous to mention.

Not a great source.
The SPLC has named a lot of groups "hate groups" that don't deserve the title. Any group that is against illegal immigration and also calls for less legal immigration, in the SPLC's eyes, is a group that needs to be demonized

The SPLC isn't exactly an unbiased group.

What do you think "have an agenda" even means? Sounds like you think it's a synonym for "be evil". As if it's evil to speculate on trends in Jewish opinion and political influence...

It's a much better source than the extreme leftist SPLC which labels all organizations arguing for immigration restriction as "hate groups".

I'm well aware of what agenda means, and in the case of this article, it's decidedly anti-Jewish. "Profound neurosis and alienation from the historic American nation"? Bosh!

Perhaps because after rounding up all the Latinos, Blacks and Muslims and putting them in death camps, he will round up all the Jews for gassing next?

After all he is a fervent admirer if Hitler and Goebbels and his supporters would love to rid US of Jews as well.

Israel is not a top priority issue for Jewish voters:

Quote:
2016 Elections

Hillary Clinton is by far the leading choice of Jewish voters for president in the 2016 election, according to the AJC survey. Clinton was the first choice of 40 percent of the respondents—47 percent of the women—and the second choice of another 20 percent. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was the only other Democratic candidate to register in double digits, attracting 18 percent of first-choice preferences and 21 percent as a second choice. The Republican candidate with the most first-place support was Donald Trump at 10 percent, followed by Jeb Bush at 9 percent.

Forty-five percent of those surveyed called themselves “Liberal” or “Lean Liberal,” 34 percent “Moderate, Middle of the road,” and 21 percent “Conservative” or “Lean Conservative.”

Asked to choose which among ten issues are most important in deciding how to vote in the 2016 elections, 42 percent chose the economy as the top priority. National security, health care, and income inequality tied for second place at 12 percent each.

I would not have assumed that it was. Jews who are American are likely concerned about the same issues most Americans are concerned with. But, note that the survey was heavily populated (45% liberal/very liberal) with democrat voters. The Democrats have pretty much made it clear that Israel is at the very least, not important, and at the very most, an enemy of the left.

You do know that 45% of Americans are Liberals, meaning the poll was balanced, would have preferred a poll where the pool was made up of all Cons, would expect "real" numbers then?
Strange I do not see large numbers of Liberals calling Israel the enemy, not any more than the far right Cons that hate the "Jesus Killers".

Why would Jews support a candidate who basically worships Hitler and Goebbels, loves the Mein Kampf and tweets quotes and statistics from Stormfront with huge Swastikas in the background?

Do you think they are nuts or something?
