The modern Right, modern “conservatism” …
11 months agoThe modern Right, modern “conservatism” is basically an elaborate mirage. These neoconservatives or Jewish conservatives are all very liberal, and their tradition comes from liberals and leftists. The first neocons were Trotskyites in New York City, very liberal on almost every issue other than the Soviet Union.
Do any Jewish conservatives support a monarchy or autocracy? Or extreme immigration restrictions? Or any form of ethnic nationalism? Or a state religion? It seems the furthest right they will go is to support the US constitution and capitalism… which are liberal. The origin of “Right Wing” comes from the defenders of the monarchy in France. Do any Jews support the restoration of Catholic monarchy?
So you have basically a left-liberal movement that supports Israel less, and a right-liberal movement that supports Israel more. If you asked a conservative Jew why they hate Obama they would say because he signed the Iran deal.
