very good piece by NPR
Trump's comments display a lack of understanding of how and why Jewish Americans vote the way they do, which is overwhelmingly Democratic. While Israel is a threshold issue for Jewish voters, it is not determinative to the votes of most of them — and many don't agree with President Trump's or Republicans' approach to Israel. Jewish people who vote Democratic care about what Democrats care about — social justice, health care, climate change, the welfare of immigrants and more.
What's more, Jewish voters went for Democrats in the 2018 midterms by an even higher percentage -- 79%. And that was after Trump moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
"We see evidence that it [the Jewish vote] is moving even more towards Democrats now during Trump's presidency," said Jim Gerstein, a Democratic pollster. He added that American Jews don't even necessarily agree with Trump's policies toward Israel — and they have other concerns.

Trump is spot on. How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that believes in abortion on demand? How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that is anti-semitic?
How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that defends Islam while impugning every other religion on the planet? How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that is anti-Capitalistic?
How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology based on Marxist ideological views? How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that wants to turn its citizens into dependent wards of the state?
How can a Jewish religious group support an ideology that promotes group think and false narratives?
You have to be a complete idiot to support an ideology built on lies and anti-Americanism.

Trump Doesn’t Get It: Our Hatred Of Him Is Our Loyalty To America
It must annoy the president terribly that 79% of us Jews continue to vote Democratic.
Mr. Trump must understand that we American Jews, fully engaged in the democratic process that is this nation’s pride, are not one-issue voters. All that we have achieved in this country has been due to the equal playing-field created by America’s welcoming of ethnic and religious diversity. We tend to identify with the rights and needs of minorities because we are, and hope to remain, a distinctive minority group in America.
Our worst nightmares, recently realized in Pittsburgh and elsewhere, are of his white nationalist buddies, not of congress members Tlaib and Omar. We are a people raised on the memory of our ancestors’ liberation from slavery, celebrated each year in our people’s most widespread religious practice.

The Democrats in the House have shown their support for the anti-Semites who are supporting BDS which would cause the death of the State of Israel.
They did not even mention the anti-Semites by name in their resolution.
Not Jewish here but I will never understand why a Jewish person would vote for the destruction of Israel.
Surely, social liberalism would rate lower than the destruction of the Jewish State.
