Caroline Glick: The Jewish vote is up for grabs, and it may decide the US election
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/5/24 | Caroline Glick

(JNS) A few weeks ago, a sermon by Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, the senior rabbi at the Steven Wise Free Synagogue in New York, shocked millions from that city to Tel Aviv. Standing at his pulpit, Hirsch delivered a stern warning to the Democrats.

Noting that he is someone “who is finely attuned to American Jewish sentiment,” Hirsch told Democratic elected officials: “Do not take American Jews for granted.”

Hirsch explained, “I have spoken to many American Jews in the past few months who have surprised me with their anxiety about developments in the Democratic Party, and their perception that it is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel, and tolerant of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism in its own ranks.”

“Be careful,” Hirsch warned. “The results of the upcoming election do not only depend on Michigan.”

Many dismissed his remarks with a shrug of their shoulders. For decades, Republicans have asked conservative Jews to explain how it is that American Jews vote for Democrat Party candidates even though Republicans are so much more supportive of Israel. The question comes so frequently that most conservative Jews can give the answers in their sleep.

First, most American Jews see themselves first and foremost as Democrats or liberals, not as Jews. They love Israel, but it’s not really a voting issue for them. And second, the Jewish vote doesn’t matter because most American Jews live in deep blue states that will never tilt Republican.

Re: "The Orthodox [Jewish] vote Republican anyway."

Even that is misleading.

A high percentage of Orthodox Jewish Americans use one or more welfare programs.

Around 40% consistently vote Democrat.

I agree New York is only place it matters
Florida is already ours

California not happening

Still I doubt New York is truly in play

Now Jewish institutional influence switching horses would really really matter far more than voting would

The media is particular

Can believe she is literally implying the vote is up for grabs when she should be stating the obvious and encouraging Jews to vote for those that would help the Jewish base with safety and security. These people are deranged and insane if they continue to vote for the Muslim party who wanna annihilate them! YOU are part of the problem if you continue to vote for the evil demonic muslim RAT party!!

Well, I’m a Protestant, so I suppose you have a problem with me as well.

Look, God does have a covenant with the Jewish people. And God does not break His covenants. If someone stops being an atheistic communist and becomes a Jew, I figure they are moving in the right direction. If they want to accept Christ as their Savior, so much the better. And you can further hope that they will join the Catholic Church. That’s all good. But I figured I’d start small with the wish that ethic Jews would love the God of the Bible.

Up for grabs? Maybe.

Decide the election? Laughable.
Demographics don’t work except in Florida, and that’s almost certain Republican anyway.

What could decide the election is switching even a third of Jewish campaign donations to Dems over to Republicans.

For elitist liberals that think they’re oh-so smart, the one issue that keeps them voting for democrats is abortion. Sad that they’re so brainwashed and blinded... But they are.

The "God of the Bible," as you put it, is Jesus Christ. There's no "starting small" when it comes to that. It's a binary decision. One is either in Christ or they are not.

Has anyone seen a poll about Jewish American support for Netanyahu?

I would be pleasantly surprised if Netanyahu polls 40% with Jewish Americans.

I don’t know if your 80 percent number is a bit high, but I basically agree with you. It may be an uncomfortable truth to say out loud, but the sad reality is that if you’re a conservative Christian of any stripe, many American Jews fear and dislike you a lot more than fear and dislake the Intifada types disgracing our college campuses.

Yes, and YESHUA is the GOD of Israel. The best way to help Israel is to love them and bring them to him.

The Jewish peoples will flock to the polls and vote for a communist ruler...
Just as they have since FDR...

Heck, to satisfy our communist masters in the WH, even the country of Israel has blinked, like cowards, in the face of a sneak attack...

They provide more than 50 percent of the funding to the Democrat Party despite being only 2% of the population. Unfortunately,they will still finance the Democrat Party as they have always done.

New York is not “up for grabs” any more than Biden can win Wyoming.
