the biggest Rabbi in Philadelphia has publicly forbade on numerous occasions voting for politicans who are in favor of gay "marriage".

though this happened in NYC what your opinion of the fact that at least 2 years in a row the gays who are trying to ban circumcision marched in the NY "pride" parade?

What's also ironic is that American Jews tend to be far to the Left and support open immigration policies that allow more Muslims to immigrate here.

This was a fundraiser for the children of fallen IDF soldiers. That simple, nothing more nothing else.

Your bafflement isn't all that surprising, even after providing you with the simplest illustration of the difference between religious discrimination (un-protected) and discrimination based upon secular politics (protected).

Understand this: the overwhelming majority of American Jews are liberal.

Much of the anti-semitism and hatred of the Jews is coming from the far right nutcases from David Duke to the Westboro Baptist Church.

You don't even know the history of the Westboro Baptist Church.
Go wikipedia them so you don't embarass yourself again in the future. Thanks!

Would you say that if a group of Palestinians were kicked out of a party without reason, that perhaps a justifiable reason was that they were potential terrorists?

That's not apples-to-apples. Suppose the Abu Nidal Organization were throwing a party in my hotel. Yes, I'd have a problem with that.

I believe private business owners should be able to discriminate if they wish.
