For years the most dominant faction in American Jewry was Liberal, Zionist-Democrats. Very pro-Israel but also committed to Liberalism and Liberal values. They were in a very close relationship with the Clintons, there was some tension with Obama but they still supported him, they are usually not supportive of settlements and criticized Netanyahu.
However, Jews are not one piece. One faction is now becoming very powerful, and extremely influential in American politics: The more Conservative, Pro-Netanyahu, Florida Jews are Netanyahu's strongest power base among the American Jewish community and they are also becoming more and more powerful in the Political scene.
The Falic family, a very powerful family in the Florida Jewish community, are the biggest donors to Netanyahu and he basically lives at their expense, they are also very right-wing. The Falics are Billonaires, they donated a lot of money to Republicans such as Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, and Marco Rubio, and also sponsored some trips to the West Bank of Mike Pompeo and Mike Huckabee.
Former Democrat Bill Ackman, a classic Liberal jew on Paper, also left the Democrats due to their treatment of Netanyahu and started to donate to Trump. A lot of Pennsylvania Jews also voted Republican, and in recent years we see that the Liberal Jews are becoming weaker in the Democratic party while the Conservative, Pro-Netanyahu Jews are becoming more and more influential in the Republican party. While most Jews are still Democrats, do you think there is truly a change, or that I'm overthinking it?
An interesting lecture by Yaron Brook.
