Much in the same way the Cuban-American population has exerted political influence over US foreign policy towards Cuba, the Jewish-American population (which is, by the way, larger than the Israeli Jewish population) has consistently lobbied for a US protected Israel.\n\nAlso, Israel is not a theocracy, it is a secular country of Jewish people.\n\nIt is also worth noting that Egypt receives more foreign aid from the US than Israel does.  And the Palestinian Authority  gets a huge chunk of change too.  It's not the fault of the US and Israel that the PA and Egypt are so corrupt that the aid gets pocketed by the leaders while the people are left destitute and seething with anger.

are we on a losing holy war kick today?\na very small percentage of Jews are against Zionism. In fact these Jews are Islamic sympathizers.  they basically beilieve they have a better shot a survival if they side with the muslims. Zionism is a term created by and used as propaganda by anti-semitics and muslims. It is used to degrade the jews who have taken back there land and are fighting to keep it. \nThis was the same term used in nazi germany to eradicate the jews. It is the term used by muslims who wanna eradicate the jews.  \nall I can say is that any jew who opposes so called zionism is a traitor to there people. it would be the same as if a ethnic man in america cited with the KKK.

Unfortunately, this information is not found out by the U.S. government so no one can answer your question. \n\nHowever, please note that it is a stereotype that all Jews are rich, so it is definite that there are, indeed, Jews on Welfare. But, most Jews would rather obtain help from the numerous Jewish organizations that offer such help, rather than go public with their problems.\n\nA recent national survey, conducted by a Jewish national organization found out the following::\n\n1)Total children living in Jewish households with incomes below poverty level:  272,000 \n2)American Jews living below poverty level: 11% \n\nHow many or what percent of them are on U.S. Welfare remains unknown, however.

You need to be well informed to answer this old-new question.\nMonica is Jewish that is a fact no one can deny.\nWhy did Monica keep her dress unwashed is a fact no one dare to question.\nWhy did she report the president of USA \nWhy the president was not impeached \nWhy Hillary became senator from New York where Jews live\nClinton wanted to have a lasting Peace in the Middle East but Israel was not ready for lasting peace so some one must stop him by all means and he was stoped step by step where he got his wife elected by Jews in New York\nLook what Sharon said after Monica case:"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael

No, it is not true.  There are several reasons for our support of Israel.  For one, they tend to do what we say, which is not a common response from nations in that region.  They also allow us to have bases in the area.  Finally, many Jewish organizations lobby heavily on behalf of Israel, and that does have an effect on political thought.  But as to our government being largely Jewish, I would say that the Christian right currently have a monopoly on government these days.

The House of Representatives has 140 members and the Senate has 40. It is not called Congress, but the General Court.

The US Senate is composed of two senators for each state -- 2 * 50 = 100\n\nThe US House of Representatives has 435 voting members and 5 non-voting members (representing DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa) = 440\n\nTogether that adds up to 540 members of Congress .\n\nCongress is the correct name to refer to both houses together, although sometimes the term is used, incorrectly, to refer to the House of Representatives.  Also, we use the term "Congressman/woman so-and-so" to refer to a member of the House of Representatives, when we should correctly say "Representative so-and-so."

There are a couple of facets to an answer to this question.\n\nThe first is hard to explain and if you are interested email me and I will try.\n\nSecondly it is our educational background and emphasis. Next to G-d the most important thing in a typical Jewish family is education. For non-observant Jews education is the most important thing. 85% of College-age Jews are in College. Pick a Ivory league School and check the Jewish Population (Usually about 27% of enrollment) then consider that there are only 5.5 million Jews (About 2% of the population) in the USA.\n\nFYI: 27% of Nobel Prizes won by Americans were won by Jews.

If a person of Jewish or African-American background makes it to the top, they will have to take the criticism that comes with the position. \n\nThe first one is always the big deal, afterwards, not so much. Today its no big deal about women in Congress - at one time they couldn't even vote, much less get elected to Congress. People can get used to almost anything. \n\nPeace,\n\n;-)

Many American women prefer Jewish men.  But I think that they prefer American men over foreigners.

At least get your facts straight when you spout your racist nonsense, otherwise you just sound like an idiot.  Jews are 2.2% of the population according to the 2000 census.\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/06s0071.xls
