19. At least 70% of American Jewish are Democratic, and vote that way

"Pew Research Center surveys, including the 2020 study, show that Jews are among the most consistently liberal and Democratic groups in the U.S. population. Seven-in-ten Jewish adults identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, and half describe their political views as liberal."

"All of the Jews in the Senate are Democrats, as are all but two in the House. The Republican exceptions are Reps. Lee Zeldin and David Kustoff, from New York and Tennessee, respectively. They are the only non-Christian Republicans in the Congress, according to a report by Pew."

My point being is these supposed Jewish allies referred to in the NY Times article are not representative of the vast majority of American Jews.

Just as Clarence Thomas, Candice Owens, Walker, etc. do not represent the vast majority of African Americans

Our illustrious media loves to stir things up though by highlighting these things, while minimizing that the vast majority of various minority groups in the U.S. are Democratic
