I'm going to be blunt and straightforward about this.

According to Wikipedia, Islam is the third largest religion at 1.1% at about 3.5 million people. Compared at Judaism is at 2.07% at about 7.5 million people.

On the issue of supporting Israel for their horrible acts on the regions surrounding them, morality aside and by just looking at the numbers, if you get 100% of the Muslim American support, you would need about 2 million Jewish Americans to break even.

Which I think is more doable than ignoring the Muslim American population and hoping 47% of the Jewish American vote offsets the 3.5 million Muslim American vote.

Also if they have to appease the corrupt war companies that fund the party, just send the weapons to Ukraine.

Have they not thought about how much worse Trump will be? They are dark skinned immigrants they will be persecuted here and he will let Israel do what ever it wants to the Palestinians.

Trump: bans Muslims from the USA as one of the first things he does as president. Muslims: he's our guy!
