This is a reflection of American Jewish sophistication; Jews here care about a lot more issues than just what Israeli Jews think will benefit Israel. And the number who do care about Israel is falling.

Per J Street,
American Jews listed their top voting priorities as the coronavirus pandemic (54%), climate change (26%), healthcare (25%) and the economy (23%). Just 5% listed Israel as one of their top two voting issues, down from 9% in 2016.

So the number of American Jews who care about Israel first just dropped by nearly half!

This trend scares the Israel lobby. Pro-Israel organizations depend on Jews (and yes, evangelical Christians, too) who place Israel at the top of their list of issues. Among Jews, Israel is crashing as a consideration, which means that policy-making in the Democratic Party will grow fairer to Palestinians, at last.
