Jewish support for Biden is inexplicable

Washington Examiner:
President Trump is headed for a drubbing from Jewish voters this fall even as the Democratic Party’s support for Israel wanes and elements of the liberal base flirt with anti-Semitism.
Just recently, Democratic New York Mayor Bill de Blasio scolded Orthodox Jews for defying regulations against mass gatherings during the coronavirus, singling them out among many communities who did so. And in Washington, Black Lives Matter protesters chanted slogans critical of Israel while marching through Washington. Trump’s first term is littered with plenty more examples of anti-Israel sentiment and borderline anti-Semitism on the Left.
Republicans also point to leaders of the Women’s March organization, some of whom have made anti-Semitic statements and associated with anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan — as well as politically charged comments made by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.
And they cite past efforts to change the Democratic Party’s platform to diminish U.S. support for Israel and support among some Democrats for a global boycott and divestment from Israel that could devastate its economy.

But American Jews’ broad support for the Democrats continues, with presumptive nominee Joe Biden on track to receive the lion’s share of their votes in November. This is despite the president’s remarkably pro-Israel agenda, amid escalating demands from grassroots liberals and some Democratic lawmakers for the United States to end decades of military aid to Jerusalem and make American foreign policy more favorable toward the Palestinians.
...
I find it unusual that intelligent people would be so distracted by Trump's persona that they would not vote in their interest.  Democrats have become the home for political antisemitism in the US.
