Professor Jacobson is quoted in this article and he makes a great point.
From the Washington Times:
Jewish voters stick with Democrat Harris despite left’s growing hostility toward Israel: PollJewish Americans have long represented a faithful Democratic voting bloc, and the progressive wing’s unabashed antagonism toward Israel hasn’t changed that.A Pew Research poll on the preferences of U.S. religious voters released this week found that 65% of Jewish respondents plan to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, while 34% back former President Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 presidential election.The survey of 9,720 U.S. registered voters released this week found the candidates tied overall at 49% each…Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson said that “you need a psychiatrist” to explain the ongoing Jewish support for Democratic candidates.“There is a willing disregard by American Jews for the reality that the progressive left has teamed up with Islamists to create an intensely hostile environment in the U.S. and for Israel,” Mr. Jacobson told The Washington Times. “American Jews are voting against their own self-interest in order to stay in the progressive club. You don’t need a political scientist to explain it, you need a psychiatrist.”He noted that the latest poll represents a decline in Jewish support for Democrats from 2020, when 77% of Jewish voters backed Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden over Mr. Trump, according to an exit poll by the left-wing group J Street.“In 2020, Joe Biden received 77% of the Jewish vote, so the current Pew polling represents a 12% drop in support for Harris, which is significant,” said Mr. Jacobson, who runs the conservative Legal Insurrection blog. “Nonetheless, that almost 2 in 3 Jews support Democrats is a testament to the psychological grip Democrats have.”
