(15,368 posts)The overwhelming majority of American Jews whom I know/have known have never supported Israel's continued encroachment on Palestinian lands, nor its ongoing use of disproportionate force to mete out collective punishment. Check out, e.g., J Street (http://jstreet.org/about) and its Wiki description (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_Street).
I am not myself Jewish, btw, but I generally support J Street.
The "Jewish vote" (whatever the f* that means) is certainly not an anti-Palestinian bloc. In fact, I would venture to bet that those American Jews who are most in support of the current outrageous and bloody policies followed by Netanyahu and his ilk have much more in common with US radical RW Christians - who do NOT vote in support of Democratic politicians in any event, and never will.
I also believe that I would win that bet.
