    If the Palestinian vote was enough to sway the election, then the amount of Jewish people who would have done the same if any presidential candidate came out in strong support of Palestine, has to be at least an order of magnitude higher.

    I am not equating the two positions, I am simply talking about campaign strategy.

    I don’t think you understand the stranglehold that the Israel lobby has on US politics.

      Jewish people do not default to Israel’s side.

      I think you think Jewish people are all pro-Israel which is ignorant at best. Bigotry at worst.

      Again the data proved this. These were polls of voters in general, not pro-Palestinians. American Jews were absolutely represented by the polls.
