Israel really is not a particularly salient issue to most American Jews. They care about domestic policy first and foremost, things like gun control and women’s rights and healthcare. Most Jews don’t have the same particularistic attitude that evangelical Christians do, and instead see social justice at the corner of Judaism. They were once a persecuted minority, and now that they have assimilated their duty is to help those who are less fortunate than them.
Most Jews that I know are far more concerned about white supremacy on the right than anti-Zionism on the left. The close GOP-Israel relationship isn’t warming Jews to the GOP, instead it’s just pushing them away from Israel. And the anti-Israel left is irrelevant because a lot of Jews actually agree with what they’ve been saying.
