She is very concerned about the current situation, as she has heard from her President (I'm assuming the President of their group of Synagogues) that, with no commitment of any kind from the current administration, the enemies of Israel (particularly agitated by Iran) will be poking and prodding and exploiting even more.
I really really have a hard time why Jews tend to vote Democrat so much, when the Democrats, in so many cases, don't give a flyin' flip about them.

Moreover, I think that because, historically Jews have had more than their share of run-ins with various Christian communities, and that they tend to see Christians associated with conservatives, there is some natural hesitancy.
Ironically, more and more Jews are starting to realize that probably their strongest ally now are Christians -- and especially conservative Christians. That's probably been true for the last few decades.

I think part of it is that a lot of Jews in the US simply don't support the current Israeli regime in place and their actions toward Palestine/Palestinians, and thus more likely to vote Democrat because the Republicans are essentially made up mostly (with a few exceptions) of people who bend over and let Israel have their way with them, and then pay them a few billion dollars for their time, while Democrats at least pay lip service to condemning Israel's apartheid state.

And then, you know, sending them to throw flashbangs into one of the oldest mosques while it was packed full for ramadan. That's what kicked this off. He knew well what he was doing, and knows that he needs a conflict or war to get a chance at forming a government.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

The flash bangs were in RESPONSE to what the Palestinians were already doing, including stoning police.
And you don't think Mahmoud Abbas didn't stir this up after he STOPPED elections last month?
