Jews Blaming Netanyahu For Rising Jew-Hatred

Well, nobody polled me!  This pro-Israel, Jewish, Republican voter has never connected antisemitism with Netanyahu. What fueled antisemitism is that Israel had the gall to retaliate after the October 7, 2023 Hamas pogrom in which they raped, tortured, murdered, and held hostage over 1,200 innocent people.

Was Netanyahu on college campuses when they exploded into pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish antisemitism, intimidation, and violence that lasted for months?

Was Netanyahu in Iran for the endless rallies for "Death to America" and "Death to Israel"?

Was Netanyahu on stage with celebrities and "influencers" as they chanted "Free Palestine"?

Has Netanyahu been running for Senate and Congress along with rabid antisemites who have been blatant about their hatred of Israel, and who have warned of violence against American Jews?

The American Jews who have responded to that poll by blaming Netanyahu must be getting indoctrinated online or in public, and I feel sorry for them. How they can still vote Democrat when the worst Jew-haters are Democrats is beyond me.

Luckily, I am not one of them.

Poll: Most US Jewish voters deeply concerned Netanyahu has fueled antisemitism

Excerpt from The Times of Israel, 9-19-26

Survey shows that despite criticism of premier, 86% identify as pro-Israel, though majorities back aid cuts and remain divided over AIPAC’s role in primaries; most US Jews plan to vote Democrat

"A majority of American Jewish voters say they are deeply concerned that Israel’s actions under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have contributed to rising antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, even as an overwhelming majority continue to identify as pro-Israel, according to a new poll released this week. 

"The survey, conducted by the Mellman Group for the Jewish Electorate Institute and published Thursday, found that 56 percent of respondents had a “great deal” of concern that “Israel’s actions under Netanyahu have increased antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the US”

"The view varied sharply by political affiliation, with 65% of Jewish Democrats expressing a high level of concern, compared with 46% of independents and 34% of Republicans.

"At the same time, 86% of those surveyed described themselves as pro-Israel. Nearly two-thirds, 65%, said they were pro-Israel while critical of some or many Israeli government policies. Seventy-one percent viewed Israel favorably, compared with 25% who viewed it unfavorably.

"Netanyahu himself was significantly less popular among respondents: 61% viewed the premier unfavorably and 34% favorably. Sixty percent said they wanted to see him replaced in Israel’s upcoming election, while only 16% wanted him reelected."
