Remember that many of those Jewish Americans are either anti-zionists or don't care either way. Meanwhile almost every single Muslim American cares about the issue and will likely vote Democrat if they do anything but actively cooperate with genocide.

100%, Dems are throwing the election.

If just going by votes, it makes me wonder what is holding the Democrats back from getting the Islamic American voters.

It can't be just be the war companies, they can just send those arms to Ukraine.

Hundreds of humanitarians and journalists were murdered in Gaza. That should be enough not to support them.

Israel serves a geopolitical purpose destabilizing the Middle East and suppressing development of rival countries (e.g. assassinating that nuclear physicist in Iran).

A lot of Israeli money. AIPAC is just the most well known.

Israel is a country-sized military base that mostly pays for itself, and has one of the best intelligence agencies in the world (or maybe their rivals are just that bad). If Israel didn't exist the Middle East would probably be much more united by now under the leadership of one or two regional powers instead of everyone but Iran and Syria being a US proxy.
