Morning Glory: What if Israelis could vote in US elections?

by September 24, 2024
written by September 24, 2024

As deadline approached, Hezbollah had just launched long range rockets to strike towards Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. The Israeli Defense Forces had responded with more than 300 attacks on targets within Lebanon, some within Beirut. The Pentagon announced that our second aircraft carrier, the Harry Truman, was beginning its deployment early to reach the region and join another American carrier task force already deployed there, this one including and around the Abraham Lincoln. 

The Biden/Harris Middle East policy is in flames, as is the region. Given that all Vice President Harris can say about Israel and Hamas—’We must get a deal done!’— what would she say about Israel and Lebanon? What former President Trump has said, consistently, is that Israel needs to win, fast. 

For whom do you suppose Israelis would vote if they could vote in U.S. elections? For whom would the Islamist ruling class of Iran vote? (Iran is not a free country like Israel, so the hypothetical question about voting in our presidential election is restricted to those whom the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei would allow to vote.)

We don’t know, and there’s little to go on. The Jewish People Policy Institute did one survey of Israeli Jews in July, before President Biden withdrew, and found that among Jews in Israel, 51 percent prefer Trump compared to 35 percent who prefer Biden, with 14 percent stating they have no opinion. I have seen no update since then. 

We have seen Iran target the campaign of former President Trump. It is a safe bet that the mullahs prefer a Harris-Waltz victory to one of Trump-Vance because Trump ran the ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Tehran which had nearly bankrupted the regime there until President Biden ended it and began not only to ease sanctions but unfreeze billions in Iranian assets in order to secure the release of hostages. Khamenei wants no part of Trump 2.0. 

The Israelis? It’s a country deeply divided along political lines but almost wholly united in the need to win the war in Gaza and the one that looms in Lebanon and perhaps beyond (and which may have fully begun overnight). Given that Biden/Harris has played yo-yo with arms shipments to Israel even as it has continually attempted to restrain the Israeli Defense Forces, it’s a safe bet that most Israelis are hoping Donald Trump returns to the White House in January. 

Many American voters could not care less about Israel or Iran. They are worried about the cost of groceries. Those folks are going to vote for Trump as the certain way to bring down the cost of food is to decrease the cost of producing food and the cost of transporting it to supermarkets. The way to do that is to unleash and fully support American domestic energy production. Trump has the majority of the inflation-driven voter locked up just as Harris has the abortion-on-demand voter locked up. 

For those few percent of Americans who vote for national security and ‘peace through strength,’ and especially for those who pray for peace in Jerusalem and the region and for freedom for the Iranian people, the choice is clear: Donald Trump.
