I've seen some real concern about how the US has handled the Oct 7 attack, especially given that 35 (perhaps 43) American citizens were killed during the attack.

There is also concern about Israel being forced into a cease-fire agreement that will only empower Hamas to repeat Oct 7-type attacks.

There is also concern about bothsiderism. I've seen a lot of that here.

Granted that the US has given Israel more support than any other nation, but there is a great deal of worry that weapon sales will be curtailed.

Some of this is illogical, but elections are often not about logic but are about perceived emotions.

At least one of the more powerful online Jewish influencers has gone full Trump and is vocal about it. I haven't included any links as that might violate DU terms, and I think I'm at risk already. . .
