 American Jews balance Democratic party loyalty with concerns over Iran

Compared with the broader Democratic electorate, American Jews appear somewhat more receptive to the strategic argument for military action against Iran. Yet compared with Israelis – including Israelis on the political left – they remain far more cautious.

And so American Jews once again find themselves where they have often been before – somewhere between Israel and America, navigating the distance between the two.

In the end, many appear to have reached the same conclusion as Israelis across the political spectrum: whatever their reservations about the politics surrounding the war, Iran represents a threat too serious to ignore.
