The percentage of American Jews who desist from eating the forbidden chametz on Passover is much lower than those who vote Democrat.
For the longest time, I've been saying that this must change, and I don't mean to keep mitzvot and vote Democrat. I've been saying that the Democratic Party has not been good for Jews, nor is it truly good for the State of Israel.

- FDR was pushed into having the USA enter World War Two when American military was attacked and to save Britain and Europe. At no time was it a military, or diplomatic aim to stop the Nazi Holocaust of Jews.
- It was the economic needs of the American military that drastically improved the American economy, thereby bringing on the economic recovery and end of the Great Depression.
Grass-root Republicans are much more pro-Israel than their equivalent Democrats. As many Israeli fundraisers know, the strongest pro-Israel Americans are the Evangelical Christians who vote Republican. Their pro-religion policies make being Jewish much easier, while the strongly secular Democrats are not comfortable with any religion.
Something to think about...
Shabbat Shalom u'Mevorach
Have a Peaceful and Blessed Sabbath

You're surprised the percentage of American Jews who desist from eating the forbidden chametz on Passover is much lower than those who vote Democrat?!...
The sad fact that for many if not most of these Jews their "Judaism" is, at best, cultural... They love matzah ball soup, bagels with lox and a shmear, and they'l bar/bat mitzvah their kids... You'll note that I haven't included the "brith"... For the rest, their "Judaism" is really Liberalism...
It's no surprise that out of these "Jews" we get the Kapos that have joined the enemies of Israel...
Love your introductory paragraph; unfortunately, so true. Shtrudel said it all.
These Jews have a new religion and it is called 'liberalism, humanism, you get the idea. They have no idea what Yiddishkeit is!
Thanks for your comments and Shabbat shalom.

Shalom, It's a well known fact that secular Jews, are almost always liberal and without חוכמה, vote for the Democratic Party. They make up the reform, modern orthodox & conservative movements and whatever other movements they feel like creating/following. We as Orthodox Jews don't appreciate being time and time again being added into this category, we are Republicans. Almost no one in Israel ever mentions that fact nor the fact that we are not all rich Jews who love the material world and could make Aliya at a whim, but just don't choose not to since we are so spoiled. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the "go to the Jewish agency or nefesh b'nefesh knowing that they can only help with loans that you have to start repaying 6 months later or that you couldn't ship your household goods even if you wanted since it's so expenses, to which people tell you, "oh, but you get a discount on custom." What good is that if you can't even pay to ship it in the first place. Regardless , whomever can make Aliya I hope they do, but many of us are trapped here. I wrote to you since I'm a long time follower who lives in the states and I know you made Aliya so this is not for people like you who know and understand what life is like for us here is, that it's not all roses for us orthodox, to maybe share the frustration that many Jews in Gola feel about the constant critic and the feeling of "we Jews in Israel are better then you Gola Jews" attitudes we see all the time in blogs & other media sources, even friends who we have helped support financially and morally and stood by whenever something bad happens in Israel. We are always there to show love and support u like democratic Jews who supported the Iran deal, etc... But this is just stereotypes And not the true and it hurts. Many of us in our communities want to make Aliya but are too poor or their life is so complicated with Isick parents or children and spouses and no promise of a job or a place to really stay if all apartments in emigration building are filled, like the Ethiopians Jews who can't find a place to go and overstay their housing from Aliya services. We keep close eye on daily Israeli life and politics & have people we know, and are well aware of problems in the world and in Israel. We wait for Mossiach like you guys everyday and hope for unity for all of us. This is just very hurtful to hear all the time and there is no way to avoid it. How many time we heard " you guys are rich, you love all your toys and just love Chomer, that you don't want to leave...." As if waiting for Mossiach and HaShem׳s promised to be redeemed is only for Jew in ארץ ישראל, well I hope HaShem doesn't give up on all of us Gola Jews the way Israeli Jews have. I wish you good Shabbos and I do know a lot about life there and know the dangers you face everyday if your lives as I am Israeli myself. I just want to share with you and your readers what we face here l, how much anti semiism we are facing, especially the way we look and live as חסידים and how it makes us feel when we are being judge like this so often, but from fellow Jews it really hurts. We know and are awake but have hope in HaShem to save us and bring us there so we can live there too. I hope and pray that חס ושלום I am not upseting you or offending anyone, I really just want people in Israel to know this and maybe cause the stereotypes to stop. כול ישראל חברים זה לזה.Thank You, מיה
Thanks for writing. Gd willing things will get better.
Jewish libs & leftys will go to the barricades to fight for the agenda of every religious, ehtnic, racial & national group no matter how extreme those agendas are or if those agendaas conflict with the Jewish Agenda. They will indeed fight for every group while they preach that Jews must act as Jews' i.e. remain silent and docile when it comes to the Jewish National Agenda. They truly believe that the more they act liberal and the more they abandon their religious & national identity, the more they will be accepted by the non-Jewish world. Strange phenomonon. While the parents assimilate to be accepted as 'house Jews', many of their children continue down the road and become members of the fakestinian loving looney left.
In the 1930's Jabotinsky wrote his essay on 'Shatnez", the reality of socialist Zionist. Sooner or later, the advocates of this hybrid must choose between the goals of socialism and the goals of Zionism. More often than not, the socialist Zionist will drop Zionism for socialism. His message rings true today more than ever. Just substitute the words liberalism for socialism.

Aaron, so true, thanks.
