36. Biden has got to keep support of Jews. I know. I know. But, they can be swing voters.

They also have very high turnout. They will vote. 63% thought Trump was good for Israel.

I belong to a Texas Democratic Jewish Caucus Facebook group. It's night and day.

The young Dems are anti-war and cease-fire now.

I logged on to the Jewish group and they are not commenting about the TDP Ceasefire Resolution.

It was originally written by the Young Dems, but then a Jewish member of the State Executive Committee negotiated changes to it to make sure it addressed Israel, anti-semitism, the hostages etc etc etc.

I think the TDP Ceasefire Resolution is a great resolution. However, others don't. Some on the left don't feel it is strong enough. Blue dogs and Jews don't seem too pleased with it.

The country is extremely polarized over this war.

ETA: I think if one is Jewish, they feel they "know the people" who were attacked in Oct 7th. They realize once again, that the Jewish community is still a small community. Of course, for the Palestinians it is heartbreaking. I'm sure many have lost friends and family. I see the bombardments and I can't imagine. I think it's worse than Vietnam.
In real life, the Jews of Southern Israel and Palestinians of Gaza are literally next door neighbors, yet they are worlds apart. Additionally, there seems to be no end in sight to Israeli-Palestinian issue. There also seems no end in sight to this war. (I keep checking Google News) Even after the war, then what?
