Try not to be so "defensive". If the Jews survived as a people against the odds they did, this can only be because they are fundamentally conservative (there is no perjorative implication here). There are a lot of things worth conserving. The word "conservative" is becoming as misused as the word "liberal". Ironically many fundamental conservative institutions today can only survive in the liberal societies they are seeking to destroy.

I am not talking about "personal gain", I'm talking about SURVIVAL. How would you vote if you and your family's very survival depended on a particular form of government?

How else do you account for the "liberalism" of Jews outside "Israel" even to the condemnation of the treatment of Palestinian Arabs, and the kind of government and policies "Israel" has?
