Ultra Orthodox Jews went over 80% for Trump. -
@JoshuaACNewman yup. They did. Related: Trump gained with every formerly Democratic leaning demographic on the country.
Moral: you need to speak to people about concerns they have, show how your work is helping them, and don’t dismiss economic concerns either real or perceived.

@Dhmspector
Definitely.But Jews are obligated to have some fuckin perspective. Like, that’s our strut: we remember things.
Self-destructive xenophobia is not a great value to carry into the future.

@JoshuaACNewman yes, and generally we do. These folks are single issue voters however, which is the safety of Jewish lives. And, unfortunately, Harris (and Biden) were so afraid of losing the 18–24 vote that they allowed little rich kids cosplaying as Hamas terrorists to control the narrative.
The levels of antisemitic violence have been overwhelming for > a year. the Biden admin’s response: crickets.
Yet she still got 80% of the mainstream Jewish vote. Not sure that was a good thing for us. -
@Dhmspector
Those kids were objecting to genocide, perpetrated by, and in the name of Jews. They weren’t objecting to the safety of Jews.Bibi has utterly failed in everything but genocide and conquest. Siding with him — with his embrasure of antisemitic authoritarians around the world because they make him look like a savior — kills Jews, too.
-
@JoshuaACNewman well, we’ll have to agree to disagree. This is an awful war, not “genocide.”

@Dhmspector
It's most definitely a genocide, although if you prefer we can call it ethnic cleansing. They sanitize the English language communications a little but you'd better believe that maximum murder revenge is very popular in Israel.It doesn't change the facts in the OP, by the way.
