before you go the uh New York Post is reporting that Donald Trump has uh seen a 50% increase in his support among Jewish voters in New York uh this is compared to the 2020 presidential election the Jewish Community overwhelmingly back the Democrats normally but the New York Post is saying that Camala Harris got only 55% of the Jewish vote in New York uh compared to President Biden who got 69 % just four years ago is this a reaction to the squad and how weak the Democrats have been in the face of the anti-Semitism we have seen on the streets of New York and and on University campuses yeah I think that is a large part of it you know it's it look Israel matters for sure the overwheling majority of American Jews correctly view view US Israel relations as very important both for US foreign policy and for the future of of Jewish life in the world but but but more to the point it has to do I think yes with the shocking rise of anti-Semitism here on the home front here in the United States which the Democratic party you know far from from not condemning sufficiently has actually fann the Flames of that you've had people like Kam Harris say that the protesters have a point Joe Biden his horrendous snide remarks to the pro Hamas protesters outside the convention in Chicago you know Jewish voters are not stupid they can hear that and see that with their own ears and their own eyes and it's about time that Democrats pay some sort of political price now Rita I still await p for the day that my fellow Jews actually vote majority for for a republican candidate God willing that will happen sooner rather than later I think it actually is going to happen sooner rather than later by the way given the demographic shifts here within the Jewish Community but this is a tremendous step in the correct direction it's been a long time coming and I for one I'm just very happy to see it anecdotally I had a lot of family members close friends in the Jewish Community who are not typical Conservative Republican voters who actually did cross the aisle this time so I thought it was going to be something along these lines but it's it's great to see it actually happen as well that's for sure
