It's pretty easy to understand, a lot of these moonbat jews in america don't have strong ties to Israel.
It would also not surprise me if a lot of these same principles in this JPFO article also apply, or the reasoning is very similar.

Even is Israel itself, where they are surrounded by people who want to wipe them off the planet, there are people in their own culture that create massive political divisions based on debates about national defense, etc.
Another "short version" interpretation is american jews often act soft compare to their israeli counterparts because they don't have a bus blowing up once a week down the street from their house where a durka got onto it and started shouting allah akbar.
I think there is also this weird like, victim-hood thing with
some american jews. This mindset smears off and infects other people in their circles. Basically there are jews that strangely seem to enjoy being victims (they would never admit it, but it is kind of obvious) and then there's another entire crop of them that are defiant and do everything in their power to NOT be victims. Perhaps not so strangely there are not a lot of wafflers. I've met both kinds and I'd much rather hang out with the "NEVER AGAIN" guys any day of the week. The other kind I just don't understand, the whole mindset is just unfathomable to me. Those are the people who vote for Obama, Hitlery, etc. The saddest thing is most of them are further left than the average non-jew liberal. It's bizarre to me.
