I understand why Democrat extremists are pushing away Jewish voters I just don’t understand why Republicans are an acceptable alternative? Especially while Democrats in office are consistently supporting Israel.
Genuinely asking. I’d like to understand.
I think this crowd care about supporting zionism and not stopping real antisemitism.

Republicans are not a suitable alternative. Extremism in both parties is a major issue.

I think you'll find that just like most Democrats are not AOC, most Republicans aren't Lauren Boebert. In other words, if you occupied a centrist position as a Democrat, you'll find that being a centrist republican isn't that far of a reach.
I can’t separate Republicans from their anti-abortion position.
There's a lot more to life than abortion. The vast majority of women will never get an abortion. Half the angry abortion protesters you see seem to be women who haven't figured out you need to have sex first to get pregnant. At this point I have simply stopped caring about abortion and never vote on it. But how people or certain parties have responded to something genuinely evil is definitely making me think long and hard.

You think all the congressional democrats immediately come here to sway this obscure set of people? Okay.

We were talking about how the one guy is very anti-trans and she basically said - I don't care about anything except Israel right now, I'm putting pro-choice/pro-life to the side, I'm now a one-issue voter about Israel and anti-semitism.
Guessing that feeling will become more and more prevalent the longer things drag on and lots of one-issue voters are going to change their issue.

If Republicans are standing up against this nonsense while dozens of Dems aren’t, it isn’t surprising to see Jewish Dems jump ship.
As a Dem, it’s worrisome.
And it’s just getting started. Hezbollah is eager to fight, and they are far better equipped than Hamas. They are also fixating on America…not just Israel and Jewish people, but all Americans.
Republicans tend to do well during military crises. They are pro-military and go all in on the tough talk. If the average American is fearful, R’s tend to benefit.
