Why are Jews liberals?

In this book, Norman Podhoretz delves into the historical and contemporary reasons behind the strong association of Jews with liberal politics.

He examines the impact of anti-Semitism in the West, the role of the Enlightenment, and the shift in Jewish political allegiances over time.

Podhoretz argues that despite changes in the political environment, particularly since the Six Day War of 1967, Jews continue to support liberal causes and the Democratic Party.

He critiques common explanations, such as a supposed Jewish passion for justice, and proposes his own theories, including the idea that liberalism has become a form of secular religion for many Jews.
