“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office”. [Aesop]
This essay relates to the United States and Israel, both of whom sadly, suffer from dysfunctional democracy at this time. A report by Dov Fischer which appeared in American-Thinker of Oct. 11, 2012 is as relevant as prevailing conditions. It is entitled, “Jews and American Conservatism” and commences with a reminder that in the previous year, an extraordinary event had occurred. Voters in the Queens-Brooklyn 9th Congressional District of New York elected Bob Turner, a solid Republican conservative to the seat abandoned by disgraced Anthony Wiener.
As Fischer points out, it marked a watershed moment in American Jewish history, as “Orthodox Jews finally flexed some muscle alongside Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union.” The given seat had been in the hands of the Democrats since 1923! Upon reflection, Jewish voters had been liberal Democrats as long, if not longer.
