In my opinion, Trump is the most passive Republican supporter of Israel since Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s.
I don't sense any anti-Semitism from Trump.
Instead, I think Trump is borderline Libertarian on USA military issues that do not directly involve the defense of the American homeland.
In other words, Trump does not want the USA to be the world's policeman.
Personally, I do believe the USA needs to be the world's policeman, especially for small, pro-American nations like Israel.
On the other hand, after spending more than $1 trillion and losing thousands of USA soldiers in the Middle East over the last 16 years, I certainly understand why millions of American voters say “No More!”
Meanwhile, Obama and Hillary are not Israel supporters at all. But they ARE leftists.
Is it that being either Leftist OR staunch Israel supporter make one acceptable, but a non-Leftist who is "passive" about Israel is unacceptable?
The original question was about “Conservative” Jewish Americans.
Just because most of them reject Trump does not mean they endorse Clinton.
I think any reasonable person can make a credible case that Trump should be rejected because of character issues and lack of political experience.
I will vote for Trump, but only because he is the GOP nominee, and I have been a registered Republican for 45 years.
