Divisions within the American Jewish Community
The American Jewish community is experiencing significant divisions as elections approach, with opinions on the candidates reflecting varied concerns. Many traditionally liberal Jews are expressing mixed sentiments regarding the Democratic party, with some feeling alienated due to its progressive shift and perceived neglect of Jewish issues. Polls indicate a potential decrease in support for Democratic candidates, with a notable number of Jews pondering their allegiance across the political spectrum, driven by feelings of disenfranchisement.
