I honestly don't think I know a single Jewish person who supports Trump and the current batch of Republicans. Nor do I think any of them approve of what is happening with Palestine (although this topic has a lot more variety in opinions and emotions).
I know plenty of Jewish people, dozens I'd say. I knew one who was a republican in the Bush era, and I've heard some people think he might be into Trump, but we've all lost touch with him. I know of exactly one Jewish guy who must've been in his late 80s during the first Trump term, who was into him. He passed away sometime in the first term, and while he'd always been a conservative, a lot of the people who knew him think maybe something had gone wrong in his head due to his age, that maybe he didn't really understand. It was very sad to us, because he was a man of exceptional intelligence.
I would say most of them felt offended by some of the rhetoric at Palestine protests, or felt that it was offensive to start protests before the Israeli response had even started. As far as I know, all of them soured on the response by 1/1/24 if not sooner, and at this point are fully disgusted with it.
I'm really not sure who these Jews are that have been on board with any of this. Maybe it's an Orthodox thing? These are all just regular urban and suburban folks who don't wear yarmulkes and might go to a temple once a year. Pretty secular, I guess you'd say.
