For the second time in the less than four months, the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

I dont think thats correct-- American Jews are a tiny tiny percentage of the population, about 2%. Then split that across repub and dem, and on dem side, split that number again across pro and anti genocide. Its much less than the muslim vote, which is more monlithic on this issue. So the dems lose more votes supporting genocide. About half of DNC money comes from AIPAC, is the real problem.
Valid observations.
However, many elections are decided by less than 1%, so losing an entire 2% block could hurt, and Jews tend to vote in higher numbers than the average.
But yeah, there are other factors at play, but the vote is always the bottom line, and the Dems can’t afford to lose this historically reliable demographic.
