Do you see Jewish American voters leaving Democrats post-Biden?

With the ascending base of the Democratic Party leaning towards Palestine compared to the older base who are more pro-Israel, do you see Jewish American voters, especially younger Jewish Americans leaving the Democrats after Joe Biden is out of the picture?

Face it, Biden is the last centrist Democrat that is pro-Israel, pro-police, etc.

If that happens, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey could be in play and Nevada could flip Republican.
 
Jewish members of congress... thinking no.

Senate
(8 Democrats, 1 Independent)

House
(26 Democrats, 2 Republicans)

Plus the nazi loving white supremacists are all on right.
 
Well Israel has taken authoritarian advances as well, maybe they could do it in lockstep with the US? Kidding aside, no. Lets not kid ourselves, while Israel and Palestine is gridlocked in a bilateral vicious circle of aggression, oppression and hate, the inner workings of Palestinian culture, society and how far it is from western standards leaves a rather bleak outlook on a “free Palestine”, there is no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow, not even for progressive Democrats.
Point being, if the Palestinian people were free of Israel oppression tomorrow the Palestinian people would still not be free from oppression.
 
Have you seen Trump’s support of Hezbollah and Biden’s support of Israel? You have some young people protesting deaths of civilians by Israel (shocker the young want peace) and that becomes all Democrats support Hamas? 🙄

Do you really believe the current Israeli government is really popular with younger Jewish Americans? People who are capable of thinking see a very complicated situation that the current government has continuously made worse.

It’s possible to condemn and want to see Hamas brought to justice without endorsing the mass murder of civilians in Gaza. You appear to again have resorted to taking the most simpleton view of the world and tried to apply it to entire groups of people.

If you actually believe this, seek professional mental help.

Joe Lieberman, Lee Zeldin, etc. will be saying that there is a "Hamas" wing of the Democratic Party......
Dov Hikind, a Jewish American moderate Democrat from Brooklyn, flipped to the Republican Party because he feels Dems are too anti-Israel...

I was wondering if we would see Muslim (and other younger 'persons of colour') defecting from the Democrats, given Biden's strongly pro-Israel stance.

It's possible, I suppose, that a few Jewish voters might in the long run go the other way. Nothing stays fixed forever when it comes to political alignments, clearly not in the US case where the parties are long-standing franchise operations, and it seems as if every few generations the party system changes again. But who knows? The present trend seems to be for the Republicans to become an ever-smaller sect of older, Christian white people...though I don't think it's at all impossible that they'll attract a few of the more economically-more-successful Hispanics over time.

Sure deflect to Republicans. The party of the Muslim ban

No, not to Republicans, obviously, but in a two-party system it would have much the same effect if they went 'third party' or just didn't vote.

[Edit] though, googling it, it seems there's no end to how complicated politics can get. Seems that, as with Hispanics, class-interests can sometimes 'trump' everything else.
(I mean, over here the Tory Party has by far the most racially-diverse leadership it's ever had, yet is simultaneously more racist than ever).
