Title: Why Are 90% Of The Jews Marxist Socialist/Communist Liberals?

Explaining Jews: Why Are Jews Liberal?

Townhall.com
By Dennis Prager
April 25, 2006

The most frequently asked question I receive from non-Jews about Jews is, why are Jews so liberal?

The question is entirely legitimate since Jews (outside of Israel) are indeed overwhelmingly liberal and disproportionately left of liberal as well. For example, other than blacks, no American group votes so lopsidedly for the Democratic Party. And the question is further sharpened given that traditional Jewish values are not leftist. That is why the more religiously involved the Jew, the less likely he is to be on the Left. The old saw, "There are two types of Jews -- those who believe Judaism is social justice and those who know Hebrew," contains more than a kernel of truth.

In no order of importance, here are six reasons:

1. Judaism is indeed preoccupied with social justice (as well as with holiness and personal morality), and many Jews believe that the only way to achieve a just society is through leftist policies.

2. More than any other major religion, Judaism has always been preoccupied with this world. The (secular) Encyclopedia Judaica begins its entry on "Afterlife" by noting that "Judaism has always affirmed belief in an afterlife." But the preoccupation of Judaism has been making this world a better place. That is why the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) is largely silent about the afterlife; and it is preoccupied with rejecting ancient Egyptian values. That value system was centered on the afterlife -- its bible was the Book of the Dead, and its greatest monuments, the pyramids, were tombs.

3. Most Jews are frightened by anything that connotes right wing -- such as the words "right-wing" and "conservative." Especially since the Holocaust, they think that threats to their security emanate from the Right only. (It is pointless to argue that Nazism stood for National Socialism and therefore was really a leftist ideology. Whether that is theoretically accurate doesn't matter; nearly everyone regards the Nazis as far Right, and, therefore, Jews fear the Right.) The fact that the Jews' best friends today are conservatives and the fact that the Left is the home of most of the Jews' enemies outside of the Muslim world have made little impact on Jews' psyches.

4. Liberal Jews fear most religion. They identify religion -- especially fundamentalist religion and especially Christianity -- with anti-Semitism. Jews are taught from birth about the horrors of the Holocaust, and of nearly 2,000 years of European, meaning Christian, anti-Semitism. They therefore tend to fear Christianity and believe that secularism guarantees their physical security. That is what animates the ACLU and its disproportionately Jewish membership, under the guise of concern with the Constitution and "separation of church and state" (words that do not appear in the Constitution), to fight all public expressions of Christianity in America.

5. Despite their secularism, Jews may be the most religious ethnic group in the world. The problem is that their religion is rarely Judaism; rather it is every "ism" of the Left. These include liberalism, socialism, feminism, Marxism and environmentalism. Jews involved in these movements believe in them with the same ideological fervor and same suspension of critical reason with which many religious people believe in their religion. It is therefore usually as hard to shake a liberal Jew's belief in the Left and in the Democratic Party as it is to shake an evangelical Christian's belief in Christianity. The big difference, however, is that the Christian believer acknowledges his Christianity is a belief, whereas the believer in liberalism views his belief as entirely the product of rational inquiry.

The Jews' religious fervor emanates from the origins of the Jewish people as a religious people elected by God to help guide humanity to a better future. Of course, the original intent was to bring humanity to ethical monotheism, God-based universal moral standards, not to secular liberalism or to feminism or to socialism. Leftist Jews have simply secularized their religious calling.

6. Liberal Jews fear nationalism. The birth of nationalism in Europe planted the secular seeds of the Holocaust (religious seeds had been planted by some early and medieval Church teachings and reinforced by Martin Luther). European nationalists welcomed all national identities except the Jews'. That is a major reason so many Jews identify primarily as "world citizens"; they have contempt for nationalism and believe that strong national identities, even in America, will exclude them.

Just as liberal Jews fear a resurgent Christianity despite the fact that contemporary Christians are the Jews' best friends, leftist Jews fear American nationalism despite the fact that Americans who believe in American exceptionalism are far more pro-Jewish and pro-Israel than leftist Americans. But most leftist Jews so abhor nationalism, they don't even like the Jews' nationalism (Zionism).

If you believe that leftist ideas and policies are good for America and for the world, then you are particularly pleased to know how deeply Jews -- with their moral passion, intellectual energies and abilities, and financial clout -- are involved with the Left. If, on the other hand, you believe that the Left is morally confused and largely a destructive force in America and the world, then the Jews' disproportionate involvement on the Left is nothing less than a tragedy -- for the world and especially for the Jews.

I would say Jews are not liberal, they hi jacked that mantle, rather they as a race or group are "statists".

Of course they envision themselves as being in charge of the "state"...

"You'd have to be a recent immigrant from Outer Mongolia not to know of the role that people with Jewish names play in the coarsening of our culture. Almost every American knows this. It is just that most gentiles are too polite to mention it."
Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Our Worst Enemy - Rabbi Daniel Lapin
"This excerpt from Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf shows how that evil megalomaniac roused his nation to hurl an avalanche of destruction at the Jewish people:

Was there any form of filth or profligacy, particularly in cultural life, without at least one Jew involved in it? What had to be reckoned heavily against the Jews in my eyes was when I became acquainted with their activity in the press, art, literature, and the theater….It sufficed to look at a billboard, to study the names behind the horrible trash they advertised….Is this why the Jews are called the “chosen people”? The fact that nine tenths of all literary filth, artistic trash, and theatrical idiocy can be set to the account of a people, constituting hardly one hundredth of all the country’s inhabitants, could simply not be talked away; it was the plain truth.
(Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, Chapter II)

Michael Medved Radio Program on KVI 570 AM.

I was reading about the Bolshevic Revolution and discovered that the man that put the first slug into Czar Nicholas was named Mikhail Medvedev ... I wonder if this is Michael (Mikhail) Medved(ev)'s gramps ... or namesake ?

Wanna bet that Medved(ev) is a Russian Jew ?

He for sure is an Israeli-fascist nazi.

In a June, 1992 exclusive and published interview granted by President George H. W. Bush to Sarah McClendon, the grand dame of the White House press corps at the time, McClendon said: "George Bush, what will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran contra?

George Bush replied: 'Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they will chase us down the streets and lynch us.' "

It won't be long before Americans learn that Bush was intimately involved in the Nov. 22, 1963 coup that forever changed America into Fascist Amerika !

Thousands of years of grotesque inbreeding.

Need I say anything more than "Alan Dershowitz"?

"Benjamin Franklin was shown the new American constitution, and he said, 'I don't like it, but I will vote for it because we need something right now. But this constitution in time will fail, as all such efforts do. And it will fail because of the corruption of the people, in a general sense.' And that is what it has come to now, exactly as Franklin predicted." -- Gore Vidal

Jews are liberal because those politics best protect Jews; and you'll notice that every point on this list is about them. The more they destroy morality, identity, and competing religions, the better chance they have of surviving in their host society. Their one home state, Israel, is not a far-left government like the one Jews abroad like to advocate.

Their motivation is no more than self preservation. They are preoccupied with "social justice" insofar as it serves them.

Ol Adlolph's words could (and should) also be said by Americans - just replace "literary filth, artistic trash, and theatrical" with the word government.

I used to live in Oregon and heard Medved's radio program. One day someone was allowed to say on the air that the media was owned lot of Jews. His retort was that Rupert Murdoch was not Jewish and that he was an Australian. Murdoch's mother was Jewish. medved knew that but on a radio talk show he has controlf the air so any bald face lie will do.

As for why Jews like Communism I cite two reasons. One they like to control everything. They do not recognize spirit and soul so their only mental faculties are dominated by the ego which is based on fear and control.

The other reason is hatred and self-destruction. Karl Marx wrote a play entitled Oulanem when he was a young man. Oulanem was an anagram for Emanuel or God is with us. In the play Oulanem says he would gladly go into the Abyss (Hell) if he could take half of all mankind with him. Everyone has read those hate filled quotes from the Talmud. What they must realize is that anything that has creates an affect through you has an affect on you. Jews are filled with so much hatred and contempt for others that their minds have become dangerously self-destructive. How else could you explain the following: In 1935 the Rothschild owned Bank of England loaned Hitler the monetary equivalent of 50,000,000 ounces of gold so he could buy guns and start a war. On April 4th, 1995 the Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzak Rabin, was assassinated by a conspiracy of men within the government because he wanted to protect Jewish people from a round of suicidal peace treaties and wars. (See Barry Chamish's work on this subject.) And now we have the invasion of Lebanon. And they want to destroy America, their last ally in the world, by attacking Iran. This does not make rational sense. They are insane.

Ira Einhorn, The Unicorn Killer and Arlen Specter

I live in the greater Philadelphia area (Northern Delaware) and after Einhorn was snagged in France and his extradition was imminent, his brother was interviewed by a local news station.

His brother told the camera with that knowing, sly smile that he "suddenly remembered" a man lurking outside Einhorn's apartment 22 years later!

He was clearly signaling the considerable "community" in Philly some of whom would no doubt be called to jury service, and giving them "testimony" that the prosecutor may have later blocked so they'd have something to use to "disbelieve" the case against Einhorn.

Yeah, I really believe that the CIA murdered Holly Maddux and put her in a trunk in Einhorn's closet, and that Einhorn didn't notice the choking stench that overwhelmed the police when they entered and found the body.

The smile on the brother's face was sickening, and, it reminded me of a man on the Phil Donahue show years ago who smiled and said, "The Rosenbergs were convicted and executed because the jury was Juden frei".

As long as the jurors had something no matter how implausible, he was fairly sure that he could spare his brother, Ira.

The OJ jury just played the dumb, black, superstitious game, and said "We don't believe all that DNA hocus pocus", and pretended that they didn't understand the significance of the evidence.

"Murdoch's mother was Jewish. medved knew that but on a radio talk show he has controlf the air so any bald face lie will do."


The papers of Rupert Murdoch's father, Keith (who was married to Elisabeth Greene) are archived at the National Library of Australia.


"I shall quote exactly what Candour [a rightwing British journal edited by A K Chesterton] said in its June 1984 issue (vol. XXXV, no. 6):

BIOGRAPHICAL details of [Rupert] Murdoch's past are sketchy and often contradictory. One reads that his grandfather was an impoverished Presbyterian minister who migrated to Australia from England, that his father was a low-paid reporter for a British newspaper in Australia, and yet, young Rupert divided his time between his family's suburban home near Melbourne and the family's sheep ranch in the country. He was educated first at the fashionable Geelong private school, and went on to the elitist and aristocratic Oxford University in England.

"Rupert's father Sir Keith Murdoch [see above] attained his prominent position in Australian society through a fortuitous marriage to the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family, née Elisabeth Joy Greene. Through his wife's connections, Keith Murdoch was subsequently promoted from reporter to chairman of the British-owned newspaper where he worked. There was enough money to buy himself a knighthood of the British realm, two newspapers in Adelaide, South Australia, and a radio station in a faraway mining town. For some reason, Murdoch has always tried to hide the fact that his pious mother brought him up as a Jew... And that, as I am sure you know, makes him a Jew according to the law of the Talmud, and indeed according to the present laws of Israel.

Sick, sick pieces of crap!

I don't know if you know this, but Ira Einhorn was the co-founder of Earth Day. So, every public school kiddie in our once great Republic draws cute little photos and hugs trees, and gets their picture in the local fish wrapper, not having a clue that they are celebrating something that was created by a barbaric torturing, murdering piece of crap called Ira Einhorn. Earth Day representatives have since tried to forever distance themselves from Einhorn.
