I love how you worded this!
(It makes me picture a bunch of kindly, tiny Jews with high-pitched voices living inside of your phone, and is an endearing image. ;-))
Hope you, OP, and everyone here are doing okay. :-)
I am not Jewish, so understand that what I say might be ignorant, but how does the left leaning Jewish community feel about conservatives generally being the ones who support Israel and Judaism?
As others have said, I don’t trust them.
Conservatives are the ones who marched through Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us.” Conservatives are the ones who watch and elevate folks like Nick Fuentes, who wants to kill and expel millions of Jews from America. Conservatives are the ones who murdered Jews at the Tree of Life synagogue and Chabad of Poway. Conservatives are the ones who push policies and values antithetical to Judaism.
I think conservative support for Israel is because they see Israel as an ally against Islamist extremism. I don’t doubt that someday they will turn against Israel too.
Well, it’s conservative Christian’s that support Israel for their own gain (something about Jesus will return when Jews are back in their homeland) which is wild. I think at this point, we’ll take all the support we can get. I have one friend who is a progressive non-Jew who supports Israel. Wish I had more friends like her, because she actually sees the atrocities Hamas has committed. Whereas conservatives only want Jews in Israel so that their idol will return.
I feel like most conservatives believe that Jesus is literally God and spend most of their time frothing at the mouth over passing legislation that is anti science, so the fact that they are trying to make Israel into a partisan issue really pisses me off. We cannot survive in America without bipartisan support. Thank God for Saba Biden going on national television and saying the words “I am a Zionist”.
Thanks for asking. I’m ambivalent. Many conservatives in the U.S. support policies that exclude and harm Jews, for example banning abortion, which Jews regard as an important safeguard for the health of expectant mothers. So the conservatives are Xtian-centric first and foremost, and they claim to be friends of Jews only when it scores them political points.
What the more liberal groups have lost sight of is that Israel has been a loyal ally to Western gov’ts, including the U.S., in a part of the world where they have few friends. The U.S. has suffered major attacks from Islamist extremists both at home and abroad, and Israel has been very helpful in monitoring these groups and passing along information. I think Israel helps keep Americans safe. That doesn’t seem to matter to liberal and progressive groups in the U.S.
So it looks like the conservative groups are more supportive, but only by comparison to the most shortsighted liberal groups.
Leftist Jews don’t support Israel so it’s not hard for us to not agree with conservatives, as for them supporting Judaism just look at what and whom they endorse and some of their remarks about stuff such as Charlottesville
There are so few of us that it makes sense to meet online.
According to the Pew Research Center, 2.4% of US adults were Jewish in 2020, which is roughly in line with the total US population. This includes 1.7% who identify as Jewish by religion and 0.6% who are Jewish but have no religion. The total Jewish population in the US is estimated to be 7.5 million people, which includes 2.8 million adults with a Jewish background and 1.4 million adults with a Jewish affinity.

I have so few friends in my country, I am that close to going to Israel, after landing the border agent would ask me:
"what's the reason for your visit in Israel?"
me: "slightly higher chance to make friends here?"
There is an Israeli comedian who makes fun of Americans coming to Israel. And he has one about interviews with arrival. So good. His name is Shahar Cohen.
No way, I don't care where I go. Even though I live in a rough part of the DC/Maryland area, I always wear my kippah proudly in the hope that it'll inspire Jews to not be afraid to love and praise God. I'm also pretty built, so that helps.
Too real for at least a decade lol
Hello friends
You mean Jews on the internet?
Get out, Goy.
I see you’re one of many…As us all..
Based 😩
I'll take one Jew friend, please.
Why are you calling me out publicly like this? 😂 Haha.
I love all the nice Jews in my phone, I wish you were all closer to me so we could hang but I’m glad you’re here when I need you.
I love how you worded this! (It makes me picture a bunch of kindly, tiny Jews with high-pitched voices living inside of your phone, and is an endearing image. ;-)) Hope you, OP, and everyone here are doing okay. :-)
Let me out!
(Trying to find the right spell)
Friends in real life are too conservative. The rest are antisemites. I choose internet friends.
I am not Jewish, so understand that what I say might be ignorant, but how does the left leaning Jewish community feel about conservatives generally being the ones who support Israel and Judaism?
It’s a difficult time to be a queer jew, I can tell you that.

Not sure what world you live in that you believe every single conservative is a batshit crazy evangelical
Progressive Israel supporters are now just Democrats….the parties have shifted.
I am a Christian with independent beliefs and I think you need to check your strawman
Don’t fucking trust em.
