    Nope. I'm really busy and don't have the time to indulge in a response. I probably hit one of Dan's hot buttons, but I didn't mean to.

    According to City Journal: https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-disruptor?skip=1

    "Similarly, the Jewish vote, three-quarters of which typically goes to Democratic presidential candidates, also shifted. Democrats still won a majority of Jews, but Republicans got 32 percent of the Jewish vote, which similarly eats into Democrats’ expected margins in ways that could be hard for
    them to overcome. A more worrisome sign for Democrats may be in the New York Jewish vote, where 46 percent of Jews in America’s largest Jewish population voted for Trump, potentially signaling where this community will be going electorally in the future."

    I have always wondered why Jewish people would traditionally vote Democrat, although it seemed to be against their best interest, as far as support for Israel goes.

    Democrats are from Tel Aviv,
    Republicans are from Jerusalem.

    FWIW:

    Two-thirds of Israelis support Donald
    Trump in 2024 election: poll

    Yes, but only a (small?) fraction vote in
    the US elections. I don't see the point.

    It is also likely that more Russians
    "support"(ed) Trump than Harris.

    And massive numbers of Israelis voted for
    Putin as Dual Citizens of Russia.

    So
    what?

    So there!!

    I don't understand why you are asking me or Marc.

    Because you and Marc are the recognized Jewish
    authorities in this newsgroup.
