Melanie Phillips is still with the Spectator
She is travelling. Thanks to one of my commenters, btw, for showing us this article earlier this year in the Jewish Chronicle. Read it all, but the paragraph linked to:
For the overwhelmingly Democrat-supporting American Jews, voting for a Republican is as unthinkable as eating a ham sandwich on Yom Kippur. Indeed, a number of them would rather eat a ham sandwich on Yom Kippur, because their conviction that religion is bunk and has nothing to do with being Jewish comes second only to their conviction that Republicans are the acme of evil.
is particularly astounding. She is talking hear about 77% of American Jews, who apparently are 'fools' and aren't particularly 'in tune with authentic Jewish ethics such as truth, justice and the difference between right and wrong').
