LU, your attitude is deplorable, and, hypocritical. If we are Jews, but not Americans, then give up your citizenship, don’t vote, don’t demand benefits ( I.e. bussing, section 8, Medicaid, beneficial zoning ). It seems we’re Americans if it means getting, but Jews when it comes to giving back. Places like Kiryas Joel are able to live their Jewish life precisely because they exercise their rights as Americans to vote and obtain what they are entitled to. Being Jewish and American are not mutually exclusive
