Why Are Jews Liberals?

The book delves into the historical roots of Jewish political attitudes, particularly the longstanding question of why many Jews identify as liberals. It examines the impact of anti-Semitism in the West on Jewish mistrust of conservative politics. The author, Norman Podhoretz, challenges traditional explanations for Jewish liberalism, especially in light of changing political dynamics since the Six Day War of 1967. Through a thorough analysis of evidence and history, he presents a provocative argument about the persistence of Jewish support for the Democratic Party and liberal ideals.
