While I remain philosemitic, I'm not sure it's a "tiny percent" of Jews who are socialist.
90% of US Jews voted for FDR, who imposed socialism on the US.
~80% of American Jews vote for Dems in the current year.

Voting for FDR does not make one a socialist.

No, I’m not. I grew up with those people. They weren’t socialists.

"No True S̶c̶o̶t̶s̶m̶a̶n̶ Socialist" FDR's New Deal was basically identical to the socialist platform in 1912 http://sageamericanhistory.net/progressive/docs/SocialistPlat1912.htm …

I’m not going to argue with you about this. If you want to believe 90% of Jews (if that’s the actual number) in the 30’s and 40’s were socialists I don’t think we have much more to discuss.

> I'm not going to argue with you. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm always open to hearing evidence and frequently change my views based on what I learn. But if you don't think honest and fair debate can be productive, I'll accept that.

“But if you don't think honest and fair debate can be productive, I'll accept that.” One thing about twitter that continues to surprise me is how easily people toss away long-standing relationships with casual insults.

I didn't think that was an insult; I thought it was rephrasing your words, specifically > If you want to believe 90% of Jews... in the 30’s and 40’s were socialists I don’t think we have much more to discuss. you said "we don't have more to discuss", not me

I continue to be interested in hearing your argument for why I am wrong.
