John,
I think it primarily comes down to religion. Of course, not all Jews in Israel
are religious, or even believers, but there are enough religious people in
Israel to effectively control their government. That is the main reason why
Israel has been lead primarily by conservative governments through it's
history. One hallmark of the religious is that as a group they are highly and
predictably conservative. Be it Jews, Muslims, Evangelicals, or Mormons... the
more religiously orthodox, the more an individual or a group will be socially
conservative.
The religious naturally find comfort in the prospect of a father figure. The
various sects may have different names for him but all of these world religions
have evolved to provide the Conservative with emotional comfort in some sort of
intelligent order in the universe. Chaos and chance are terrifying things to
anyone, and so it's just natural that most people are drawn to coalesce into
groups of like minded believers who together provide reassurance that
everything is right in their world, and that at least in the long run, 'Father'
will see to it that we his children will be safe.
The Jews who voted for Barack Obama are not the same Jews who would vote for
Benji Netinyahu! You can rest assured that it was the more liberal, less
religious Jews who voted for President Obama. The President's supporters are
who are Jewish will be found to be primarily Jews socially, but not so
religious. Remember, it's conservative Americans (mostly Christian) who most
actively defend Israel with a literal religious zeal. The most religious take
that defense so far as to couch the very existence of Israel and it's eventual
destruction as prophesied necessities to occur in order that their own
religious delusions may come to pass.
My guess is that many German Jews of the 1930's simply trusted in their elusive
invisible father figure in the sky to take care of them through the Nazi years.
Of course that never happens, but it does give the religious comfort... all
the way to the gas chambers and to the ovens.
