Why Bush Loves Orthodox Jews
I assume the author Noam Schrieber is a secular Jew, which would explain the title (it's subtitled "Black Hat Trick"). Expat American votes in Israel (including Palestinian-Americans) is top Reuters story today.
This was an enlightening article, it's anti-Bush slant and thinly veiled disdain for religious Jews notwithstanding. Although Jewish support for Kerry is strong (75%), there are 3 areas where Bush could make inroads. Bush has a lot of appeal in the Orthodox community. And like Americans living in Israel which is the second area, his support for Sharon is appreciated. And the most hopeful point for me was that Bush seemed to have more support among younger Jews, many of whom have been exposed to antisemitic leftists in college.
Read the article to answer this question for yourself: Could Michael Moore be remembered by history primarily as the man who caused the Jews to drop the Democratic party like a hot potato?
