The support of many of the right have for Israel has far more to do with the fulfillment of biblical prophecies that Armageddon will occur with full Jewish control of the holy land than any actual support for the country.. In that scenario, Jews will be wiped off the earth as they don't accept Jesus as the savior. Only those who accept Jesus will survive Armageddon. Support of Israel is a means to an end not for any real support of the Jewish people.
And Jewish Americans, like all most of us, vote for their candidates based on the sum total of their political positions. The evangelical, Christian Nationalist control of today's Republican Party will never ever appeal to the majority of Jewish Americans regardless of their support of Israel.
Democrats support Israel. They simply don't think that everything they do is beyond criticism
Some Democrats support Israel. And increasingly larger segment of their politicians and voter block does not.
