For much of modern history in both Europe and North America, Jews have been reliably left of center politically, backing Democrats in the United States, Labour in Britain, Canada’s Liberals, and France’s Socialists. In recent years, though, Jews are moving toward the center, and, somewhat tentatively, even the right.
The shift reflects Jews’ revulsion at the increasing popularity of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic positions in most left-of-center parties. For the roughly 80 percent of Jews who back Israel’s war aims in Gaza, remaining reliably progressive will be hard. In Great Britain, a 2019 study showed Jews shifting substantially away from their traditional Labour orientation and largely embraced the conservatives. In France, Jews generally no longer affiliate with the Socialist Party but instead support the centrist government of Emmanuel Macron. Similarly, Canadian Jews seem to be severing their historic ties to Liberals and adopting a friendlier stance toward the Conservatives.
The change is also occurring in the U.S., albeit more slowly. Three-quarters of Orthodox Jews, whose numbers are growing due to their higher birthrate, identify as Republicans, up from 57 percent in 2013. In 2020, Donald Trump gained 30.5 percent of the Jewish vote, a 6.5 percent bump from 2016. A more recent Economist study found that roughly 37 percent of Jewish voters favor Trump, whose campaign just received $5 million from the increasingly influential Republican Jewish Coalition.

But it was the mass movement of Muslims into Europe, starting in the 1960s, that super-charged the revival of anti-Semitism in the West. Famed Nazi-hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld suggested to me over two decades ago that the biggest threat to Jews would come from an alliance of Islamists and left-wing activists. One need only look to college campuses today to see the prophetic nature of their warning.

True. The ancestors of most American Jews came from Europe, where Christians were a dangerous enemy. The anti-Semitism of the old country- club WASP Republicans didn’t help. Younger Jews are starting to understand that the Democrat mob is a bigger threat.
They never will. Too stupid.
Nope.
I’m interested. Great article.
Jews have been one of the perfect “others” groups for homosexual gentiles and homosexual Jews to manipulate. Shut down the homo element’s free frolicking and both Jews’ and Gentiles’ natural inclination to conservative values will return.
I am talking to the most liberal person I know who is Jewish and she has moved quite a ways. They are really questioning what is going on.
I hope so. The only think that would convince me to lose respect would be to learn that the majority still believe that the DemocRAT party is anything but evil, vile, immoral, and worth sending into the sun.
Most observant Jews are right.
Maybe so, but Jews were among the leaders in developing socialist/communist thought as long ago as the French Revolution period about 235 years ago. What we call Left today has long and deep roots in European Jewish life.
Yeah, no.
They are all hopelessly incapable of such logic.
Never happen.
Jews moving Right, especially young ones, are likely to emigrate to Israel rather than accept being inconsequential in America.
Nah! Maybe a few but they’ll stick with the Jew hating RATS.
Speaking of JPFO, I found this article in the site:

Some of them. Most American Jews would much rather live here.
There is also Critical Race Theory, wherein Jews are classified as just more White Privileged Oppressors.
Affirmative Action stops being fun when YOUR employment opportunities are affected.
I just started that docu-series. I was actually thinking the same thing.
Why would they not when Brandon openly backs their enemies ?
And the same rabbi will probably still vote democrat.
