Fw: Fwd: The Democrats' Jewish problem by Harry Stein

The Democrats' Jewish Problem  by Harry Stein  A new book revisits an uncomfortable—and ongoing—history.  October 23, 2012   

Herbert Hoover and the Jews: The Origins of the "Jewish Vote" and  Bipartisan Support for Israel, by Sonja Schoepf Wentling and Rafael  Medoff (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 238 pp., $15)    As a Jewish liberal-turned-conservative, I am asked the question with  mind-numbing regularity: how can Jewish voters remain so attached to a  Democratic Party seemingly so often hostile to their interests? Given  Barack Obama's stance toward an Israel facing the threat of Iranian  nuclear annihilation, needless to say, that question has been posed  with particular urgency and confusion during the 2012 campaign.
