Joe Biden thrashed as his Jewish supporters express concern over ongoing Israel-Hamas war
WASHINGTON, DC: Jewish voters who backed President Joe Biden in 2020 are beginning to have second thoughts about him as the Israel-Hamas conflict rages internationally and large-scale student demonstrations against Israel raise concerns at home.
"I’ve had a couple of people say point-blank, ‘How could any Jew vote for a Democrat?’" Michigan Jewish Democrats' West Michigan chair Troy Zukowski told CNN. "I’m not so concerned about Jews who may vote for Trump," he continued. "I’m more concerned about those who may vote for third party spoiler candidates or not vote at all."
The ongoing anti-Israel protests have divided the Democratic Party
The Democratic Party's unity has been undermined by calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and the recent wave of anti-Israel demonstrations at universities and even sporting events nationwide.
"It was a very tough crowd for a room of people you have to assume all voted for Joe Biden four years ago," Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said of concerns he heard from voters before a Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House in May.
Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro debunks concerns about Jewish voters abandoning Joe Biden
Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro, a devout Jew, and well-known Biden ally, downplayed worries that Jewish voters would turn away from Biden in favor of former President Donald Trump.
"If you go back in the history of the world and look at the leadership of every dictator, from Pharaoh to Hitler to Kim Jong-un, at what point in our history when a dictator has been leading a nation has a minority group done well?" Shapiro said of Trump on CNN.
"Donald Trump will eviscerate the rights of minority groups, including American Jews, if he is given the power of the presidency again," the governor added. "History tells us that."
What did ex-Republican Rep Lee Zeldin say?
"Right now, the Democratic Party is in a moment where they have to choose to successfully lead these forces instead of being led by them," former Republican Representative Lee Zeldin told CNN.
"Every effort to pander to [Michigan Representative] Rashida Tlaib and those ‘Abandon Biden’ voters in Michigan has the risk of alienating Jewish voters in the Detroit suburbs," he added.
Karoline Leavitt says Jews 'around the world' would agree Donald Trump 'did more for them'
"Jewish Americans and Jewish leaders around the world recognize that President Trump did more for them and the State of Israel than any President in history," Trump campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News.
"Joe Biden’s weakness led to the attacks on Israel, and he still refuses to outright condemn the anti-Semitic mobs raging on college campuses because his donors are funding them and he needs the votes of these radical terrorist sympathizers," she said.
"The bottom line is that Joe Biden caves to Far-Left extremists and terrorists while President Trump will protect Jewish Americans and put American citizens first," she continued.
Internet says no Jew should 'ever vote' for a Democrat
Netizens criticized the Biden government for mishandling the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
One X (formerly Twitter) user penned, "No Jew should ever vote for for a Dem."
Another wrote, "Why would Jess vote democratic to start with, the democrats have had nothing but pure hate towards jews."
"Well, they are the party of antisemitism. But think of all the torrorist supporting voters they’ll get," echoed one.
Another chimed in, "I am a Jewish person. But not practicing. I don’t practice any religion. But I don’t see how any Jewish persons on the face of this planet could vote for Joe Biden and his administration."
"This old and senile criminal @POTUS should be withdrawn from the field of operations, his puppets, the trio infernal, Obama, Clinton and Blinken, will usher the US into a disaster," said one user.
