Just wondering...
Reader comment on item: Democrats, Republicans, and Israel
Submitted by Ruben (Belgium), May 23, 2006 at 14:31
Don't American Jews vote overwhelmingly Democratic? From what I've read, many American Jews actually oppose the State of Israel (the reason why is beyond me). So is there really a shift towards voting Republican among Jews in the U.S.?
The article didn't mention the Afro-American community... Since they're said to generally vote Democratic, are they also rather pro-Palestinian?

Daniel Pipes replies:
I am not arguing that everyone who votes Democratic is hostile to Israel, but that this point of view has gained ground in the Democratic party.
