Irony? I think so.

My wife has a few Jewish friends who are considering voting Trump. These are women who were adamantly against Trump 8 years ago, mainly on the abortion and Trump’s attitude toward women. They clearly see Trump as bad (or even evil), yet are still considering voting for him. Why? Because they fear the world as antisemitic, feel Trump will be tougher against antisemitism, tougher against terrorism, and give Israel more support. But the big issue is Trump does not push for a two-state solution.

And these are people who 9 months ago were wondering how Gazans voted in Hamas.

Irony? I see it.

If you don’t, well Gazans were raised in an environment where Israel controlled their lives. Most of them know Hamas are corrupt terrorists, yet voted for them anyway because they felt Hamas was the best choice for standing up to Israeli aggression. And Hamas was against a two-state solution.

Israel is engaging in war on two fronts. Most Jews care about Israel. Many Jews care about Israel more than the country they were born in. The conflict with Hezbollah is getting worse. Donald Trump is a stronger leader than Harris. There is a perception among Jews that Trump will support them and give them more help in Middle East. Abortion is not relevant when you may be at war, and Jews everywhere consider themselves to be at war.

With regard to a two-state solution, why would anyone be talking about this now? It isn't about what is right or what can bring peace. They want war. A two-state solution is a fantasy.
