[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nassau County went R for the first time since 1988.  Palm Beach County almost did so as well, with the best result for the GOP since 1988.  These counties have some of the largest Jewish populations.

American Jews are moving away from Democrats.  October 7 led many to question their voting loyalties.[/quote]Jews are finally realizing that they are on the "wrong" side of critical theory...that wokes will always see Israel as the bad guy.[/quote]

i think this is true.  Jews are typically relatively liberal on social issues and so have historically often aligned with the Democratic party, but it's likely most have a red line when it comes to advocacy on behalf of terrorism, especially terrorism focused on the complete destruction of Israel and the elimination of the Jewish religion.  Demcratic sympathy for collateral casualties sustained in a defensive war started by Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis is fine, but when policy positions amount to giving those groups the opportunity to continue to pose an existential threat to Judaism and to Israel, Jews will side with those opposing efforts to obliterate them.  Peace through strength is seen as more of a Republican ideal than the Democratic ideal of peace at any cost through accomodation of terrorist incubators and support systems.  [/quote]

You use terms like “defensive war” and “existential threat” without the slightest hint of irony …

Man, those dogs don’t hunt any more.[/quote]

DP it is a just war in every sense.  As long as hamas holds hostages Israel is justified in taking almost any actions to reclaim the hostages.[/quote]
