It’s a numbers game. There are WAY more Jewish people in the US than there are Arabs (~7.5 vs 3.5 million, according to a quick Google search).
Strategically, those Jewish voters are also more likely to switch to a Republican vote than the Arabs, regardless. It would take 2 Arabs (or any other Democratic voter) sitting out to counter a single Democratic voter switching to a Republican vote.
Granted, none of this accounts for voter locations (because only the 7 swing states matter), voter enthusiasm, claims of national security, or (most importantly of all) ethics.
I agree. That was an additional detail that I did not cover, as I wanted to keep it relatively simple. I expect that the anti-Netanyahu Jewish voters are unlikely to switch to voting Trump, given that the latter is firmly and openly pro-genocide.
“Adolf Hitler identified he needed to blame all problems on Jews. And systematically put them in concentration camps. This was a political move necessary to advance his career and appeal to voters.”
To be clear, at no point was I trying to justify any actions. My only goal was to explain the strategic path that would lead to it. And of course there are additional nuances, which I alluded to at the end.
Besides, a winning strategy is not an indicator of ethics.

Except a lot of Jewish voters are anti Netanyahu and want a ceasefire too
AIPAC disagrees with you.
Wait until after the election to see who really stands where.

That’s a good point, but I don’t think it’s about Jewish voters at all. It’s about AIPAC.
Not at the expense of democracy, at least I hope. There is no other option this year.
And this will be repeated every election year from here on out now that the DNC knows they can get away with it.
There are other avenues that can be taken in a democracy between now and the next election. Ranked choice voting would be great.
How would a trump win help the genocide happening in Gaza??
Everything can be justified in this way.

The only strategy here is AIPAC campaign donations.
All the rest of what you said is BS
What, specifically, did I say that you disagree with?
