I agree with most of what you wrote, but want to touch on some related points. Most Americans are still well-disposed towards Jews and Israel, although there is the “white National” element, many of whom are neo-Nazi, and the African-American version of this, as well. The WN’s as they call themselves, are intolerant of liberals in general (and aren’t we all tired of their negative worldview), but unfortunately, when it comes to Jews they don’t just class them with all the other libs. For WN’s Jews are painted as the ultimate evil. Leftist Jews in the name of their Jewishness try to impugn conservatives like Trump by broad-brushing him as racist. Meanwhile WN’s try in the same way to claim conservatives like Trump for themselves. The media amplifies this because they are 99% left. When Louis Farrakhan endorsed Trump the media was totally silent. No one accused him of being a black nationalist. Lots of spin and exploitation.
Trump, imo, is very important for Israel. He is the ONLY candidate who has stated his immediate priority is to deal with Iran and stop them from getting nukes. I believe him.
For this reason alone Jews should vote for him. He is also a huge media disruptor. The media is responsible for the drip-drip daily attacks on Israel in the many ways they distort, coverup, and omit the relevant facts. In general, Trump is holding them to account. He will allow Israel to finally win the PR battle and normalize the historic borders. Don’t expect it all spelled out in his platform. He is too smart for that. Hillary is left and going further left by the day. With her Israel will get the same old back-room threats. And she will allow Iran to get nukes. Remember she supported the Iran Deal.
Trump is as important for Israel as he is for America. Without him, we in the US will drift further left, Muslims will swamp the country, and we will eventually become totally financially crippled. None of that is good for Israel. We are at a turning point in the US. Most Jews are on the wrong side, but that has often been the case in the Diaspora. There are important historic reasons for it, but that’s another story.
