The assessment of the Jewish vote ahead of the US Elections is disturbing.

According to polls, the vast majority of American Jews will be voting for Harris, which, according to the preferences of an Israeli majority, would be very bad for Israel.

The Manhattan Institute has Harris leading Trump 67% to 31%. Their poll also saw Harris up 53 points among Reform Jews and Trump up 18 points among Orthodox Jews.

The Jewish Democratic Council of America October poll has a 71% to 26% outcome in favor of Harris. The voting preference of Orthodox Jews show a polar opposite result.

There is a clear divide among American Jews over their preference to be their next President.

For an Israel that is overwhelmingly rooting for a Trump victory it is deeply disturbing to discover that the majority of Americans Jews are voting against the best interests of the Jewish State in 2024, even as the majority of American Jewish voters say they support Israel 86% to 5% with 9% unsure.

There is a huge divide between American Jews over who is the better US President for Israel, and it needs to be guided by Israel.

After all, we are the ones in the firing line. We are the ones doing the fighting to protect our loved ones and defend our country.

And here we come to the most troubling polls.

The one big opinion divide between US Jewish voters and Israelis is the poll that show an 18% US Jewish majority say that Harris would manage Israel’s war better than Trump.

In Israel, opinion is radically different.

In an Israeli Channel 12 poll, 66% prefer Trump to only 17% for Harris, with 17% undecided.

Among Netanyahu voters, 93% prefer Trump to Harris’s 1%.

The divide between Israeli and American Jews over what’s best for Israel is shockingly stark just days before the US Election.

  1. We normally ask, “Is it good for the Jews?” Well, I can tell, Kamala and Walz would NOT be good for us Jews. She’ll continue the Biden policies of emboldening Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. A vote for Kamala is a vote for the demise of America and Israel.
