The majority of Orthodox Jews, as well as the rest of the strongly pro-Israel community in the United States (including Evangelical Christians), support Donald Trump in part because we see him, thus far, as the president most supportive of Israel in U.S. history.
The president’s support for Israeli security needs in Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) is only part of that policy, which also includes recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state as well as Israeli sovereignty over the strategically necessary Golan Heights and his general support for Israel’s right to defend itself.
Mr. Fremerman’s depiction of the president is nothing more than his opinion. (Jews voting for Trump, Sept. 26)
Make no mistake, Israel is not our only issue, but it is an important core component of our support for Mr. Trump.
Will Mr. Trump win them again in 2020? To do so, he will have to overcome the constant drumbeat of the very left-wing media establishment in this country. We, his supporters, who are not turning away from the faith of our fathers and mothers (and are gratified to see our numbers grow exponentially year by year as opposed to the more liberal religious establishment) are not wavering in our determination to elect him to another four years in office
