ujm, you are right – Lieberman probably does not represent all olim from Russia. It looks like Rusim are 15-20% of voters, that would mean 18-24 seats, or say 15 seats as they probably vote less than others. So, L gets not more than 50% of the Rusim votes and maybe less as probably at least some of his current voters are anti-religious sabras. So, it makes sense that he would represent the more anti-religious and non-Jewish Russian population. Still, not all Russians are like the gentleman I described in another thread. It may be that you are looking at these people and you just can not imagine a Jew behaving like that and you conclude that they are not Jewish. I can see a lot of Jewish Russians being non-religious or anti-religious – they spent 70 years in anti-religious environment. And I don’t think they even intermarried more than American Jews through the same time period. I admit I do not have hard numbers on all of this, if you have different numbers to support that his voters are all non-Jews – please post.
