To which Republicans respond, Who Cares?
To be a liberal has come to mean being tolerant of all voices and trying to appease every enemy. That’s why the clarification disease exists in nearly every Jewish Democrat – they just aren’t comfortable completely identifying as a liberal when the issue of Israel comes into play.
Thankfully, this epidemic of uncertainty does not afflict Jewish Republicans. We proudly declare our conservative principles because conservatives don’t like the United Nations, can’t stand Syria, and won’t recognize Hamas.
For us, there’s not even a question of which party is better for Israel – only a sense of wonderment as we watch Jewish Democrats struggle to appropriate conservative foreign policy positions for themselves.
