A 2019 letter that compared the Israeli occupation of the West Bank to apartheid South Africa has resurfaced because it was signed by Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Georgia.

Despite predictions 30% of Jews would vote for Trump, the number was 21% to Biden’s 77 in exit polling– the mirror opposite of Israel, where Jews overwhelmingly support Trump. Only 5% listed Israel as their most important issue, down nearly 100 percent since 2016, which is bad news for the Israel lobby.
Israeli leaders believe that Donald Trump has set the new normal for US-Israel relations: total acceptance of Israeli expansion.
