I suspect those that live in Connecticut rarely worry about annihilation OR rockets being lobbed on them at any given moment. Probably not many Suicide bombers wandering the neighborhoods either.
On the other hand - Swasitka Painting is on the rise in the USA and could come to your neighborhood at any time. The anti-Israel rhetoric often translates into anti-Jew ideology and there is a lot of that rhetoric floating around these days. I guess you know all about that.
Swasitka painting? Is that justification for supporting a path to war with Iran?
I don't walk around in fear. I leave Connecticut alot. Just this month I've been in Amsterdam, Austin, Boston, and Orlando.
Anti-Israel rhetoric? Sorry, being anti-Netanyahu (just like many, many Israelis) is not being anti-Israel. No matter how much Republicans repeat it.
The Orthodox Jews and extremely devout Jews are already voting Republican, even if they are registered Democrats. Its the liberal/leftist JINO ("Jews In Name Only" aka the "culturally, pork-eating Jews") who are voting Democrat.
... I support the negotiations with Iran, because the alternative is war...
And this is the root of the liberal lie upon which the whole OP's claim is built. The alternative to a bad deal is prolonging sanctions that make it virtually impossible for Iran to build nukes. Moreover, Iran's economic isolation combined with cheap oil would bring its regime to a collapse. Obama is working so hard to save the mullahs, and give them a clear path to nuclear bombs with ICBM, WHICH WILL LEAD TO A WAR!
We should be so "thankful" to liberals. Well, it's no surprise mlassoff and Snowball7 vote for the same party.

The extremely devout or Ultra Orthodox Jews, especially in NY, vote Democrat in a block format. Their leader tells them to vote for a certain person and they ALL do it without question. They vote Democrat. The Orthodox Jews that have moved out of these block controlled areas, became educated and achieved a higher standard of living are now voting Republican since they are now Conservative Democrats where voting Democrat does not make sense anymore.

That's not true. They vote in the Democratic Primary in NYC, but, especially in national elections and in general elections in general, are voting for the GOP. They vote in the Democratic Primary because that gives their community extra clout in city politics/choosing the Democratic nominee.
The following article/statistics explain things quite nicely:
Just as one example from the article: this community voted 68%-32% for the GOP candidate for NY attorney general against the Democratic and liberal Jewish candidate. This is no secret.
During the 2012 presidential election, the Orthodox vote for the GOP/Romney over the Democrats was even more lopsided in many precincts:
Quote:
The New York Times published a map Saturday of precinct-by-precinct voting results from the recent presidential election. There were few surprises, the city resoundingly backed President Obama. Where this support wavered was in communities with large Orthodox Jewish populations.
“Mr. Obama’s worst precincts were in Orthodox Jewish areas like Ocean Parkway and Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Kew Gardens Hills in Queens. In a few precincts in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Mr. Romney won more than 90 percent of the vote,” the accompanying text said.

And who the hell are you to determine who is a Jew and who is a "Jew in Name Only"?
The arrogance that it must take to declare another person Jewish or nonJewish is simply astounding. In this country-- and in Israel-- the overwhelming majority of Jews are non-orthodox. But-- as my Hasidic clients would say-- we're all Jews.
It seems the right wing nut jobs are now arbiters of Judaism.

I'm someone who has his eyes open and is willing to call things as they are. The Jews I see backing the Democratic Party are, in my experience (which is pretty varied in terms of exposure) typically those who don't keep the Sabbath, who don't keep Kosher, and who will explicitly say that they are "not very religious" or merely "culturally Jewish." The observant/Orthodox Jews, who are keeping the faith, are, in my experience, generally Republican.
But don't just take my word for it:
Quote:
According to the survey—which was conducted from Jan. 2 to Dec. 30, 2014, among 4,116 Jewish adults—29 percent of American Jews are Republican, up from 22 percent in 2008, while 61 percent of Jews are Democrats, down from 71 percent seven years ago.
The survey also found that support for the GOP was higher among Jewish men than women, and also higher among religiously observant Jews.
But you Bots believe the entire middle east should be destabilized because Obama does. And you believe America has the right to determine the outcome of an Israeli election because Obama does. And you believe...everything Obama does.
We destabilized the Middle East before Obama was even in office

My community has a huge population of Jews...and yes they are democrats. But let me tell you, they are deeply into their faith. So I'm not sure why you think you can judge who are Jews in name only because they vote democratic.
