Newsweek reported, “At a moment when they feel more cause for

pride than ever before, American Jews find themselves in the midst

of a new, troubling search for identity—as Americans and as Jews.” A Newsweek

diplomatic and military aid to Israel. Fast forward nearly 50 years: Gallup

reported that 95 percent of U.S. Jews were sympathetic to Israel in 2019, but only

29 percent approved of President Donald Trump, despite his pro-Israel policies.

Biden plans to raise taxes on corporations,

for a total hike of $822 billion by 2024.
