This election is going to be close, and Jewish voters whose turnout numbers are relatively high may determine the outcome of the race, said Halie Soifer, chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America.
Turner is supported by Sanders; Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts; progressive members of Congress known as The Squad; and the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Brown is backed by former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton; Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the House Majority Whip; Rep. Joyce Beatty from Ohio who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus; and a number of Jewish and pro-Israel groups including the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Democratic Majority for Israel, Pro Israel America and NORPAC.
Pro-Israel support for Brown
The 11th District has the largest population of Jewish residents in the state, which is estimated at 5% of the electorate. While both of the leading candidates are Black and domestic politics has largely dominated the race, their stances on Israel have become a contentious issue as the Brown campaign and groups supporting her try to mobilize the Jewish community.

You'd be surprised. But yes, I am speaking of anti-Semites and their enablers.

There are a lot more Anti-Semites than many think, even in our own Democratic Party. Sad.
