An editorial in the Jerusalem Post highlights a growing rift between American Jews and the Israeli government, specifically pointing to a preference for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This shift reflects increasing dissatisfaction with Netanyahu’s right-wing policies and a broader alignment with pro-Israel but anti-Netanyahu sentiments within the American Jewish community. The editorial suggests that this change in sentiment is part of a larger generational and political split in U.S. support for Israel.
