I guess I just don't trust a party that seems to believe in excluding any group that doesn't look sound and worship like they do. If we Jews feel part of American society it's no thanks to the GOP.

Regarding Israel I don't believe giving the most hawkish members of the government equates to "support" especially when there are plenty of Israelis who want a more peaceful approach.

Finally there is a religiously based commitment to social justice that the current GOP just doesn't understand.
