The Vietnam War split Americans apart. The Israeli - Palestinian wars are splitting American Jews and all Jews apart.

"How many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome: good government? They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."[46]

Evangelicals were indifferent to abortion. When the federal government cut into their profits, White Evangelicals became political leading in fits and starts to Donald Trump & a Nazi revival.“
The Arrow Cross Party associated with the founders of "The Heritage Foundation" was anti-Jew. It's complicated.

“You know, we are in a circle of blood for the last seventy-five years. And this is just another round.
Nobody expected the viciousness and cruelty of this round, but it was expected. You cannot put two million people in a box, close the cover, expect nothing will happen.
It will not stop unless we talk. You cannot annihilate Hamas. You cannot ignore six million people Palestinians, living here in the holly land. And you cannot expect them to go away. We will not go away.
We are doomed to live here together and we have to chose-whether to share this land or to share the graveyard under it.:"

“A Surge in Jewish Activism for Ceasefire and Against Genocide
In a recent episode of “On the Nose,” a podcast hosted by the magazine Jewish Currents, Elena Stein, director of organizing strategy for Jewish Voice for Peace, said that after the Hamas attack it was “immediately clear” that “the lives of Palestinians and Israelis are completely intertwined.” She said that Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism “enact daily horrifying violence against Palestinians” and “doesn’t make Israelis safer either.”
Stein argued that American Jews have an important role in stopping the violence and genocide in Israel and Palestine, and that this is important to protect the lives of both Palestinians and Israelis. “It’s on us — especially those of us here in the U.S. whose government is funding this, is fueling this, is protecting the Israeli apartheid government from accountability at all levels — to stop the complicity that puts Palestinians’ lives in danger every day and also puts Israelis’ lives in direct danger,” she said.
Jewish anti-war activism calling for a ceasefire and against the genocide in Gaza shows no sign of slowing down. On Monday, hundreds of Jews and their allies took over the Statue of Liberty calling for a ceasefire, with a banner saying “Never Again for Anyone.”
