Well, there are two kinds of Jews, the Orthodox and the secular. The Orthodox are, indeed, very conservative but you don’t see them in public life because they are concentrated on their religious life and the community. They are like the Amish in that sense.
The secular Jews are ethnically and temperamentally Jewish but if they are religious at all it’s mostly just a nod to tradition. Those are, indeed, far left, almost without exception.
Ethnic Jews, and I mean specifically the Ashkenazim, we are very excitable, high IQ and intense. We are one level extra in everything. We achieve a lot not because we have a secret cabal and we help each other, that’s just nuts. But because nothing is ever enough. We want to create, stand out, always do something new. And always something new is by definition the Left.
Once progressivism becomes “the old”, we’ll start picking that apart, so the future is bright.
