DragonBallZinn comments on The Mamdani effect: Democratic incumbents now have to worry about being too pro-Israel

And also, turns out a lot of Jews are soured on the idea of ethnic cleansing period, and the fact it’s being done in their name actually makes them even more disgusted. Who’d a thunk?

Keep in mind the US itself is still quite Zionist, and in line with this, so are a lot of Jewish Americans. I'm not sure what the latest stats are or if they are reliable, though.

There’s a whole subreddit called “r/JewsOfConscience” and when I was in college, the first people who opened my eyes about Israel’s genocide way back were Jews protesting Israel.

Plus also, I acknowledge free will. I am white but I don’t think white supremacy is good. I can make a safe bet Jews have the free will to see the atrocities of Israel and object.

Many Jews being against genocide, even Jewish supremacist genocide is axiomatic.

My understanding is that American Jews are actually quite divided on the subject. Evangelical Christians are more lopsided on the issue than Jewish people.
