(SRN NEWS) – A survey conducted by GBAO Strategies confirms that President Trump made big inroads with Jewish voters this year. Mr. Trump won 26 percent of Jewish votes in November. That’s up from 21 percent in 2020. Jewish voters’ opinions of the candidates’ Israel policies help explain the president’s gains. While 48 percernt of Jews thought he would be more pro-Israel than President Biden, only seven percent said the same of Kamala Harris. For about a century, Jews have been a reliable piece of the Democratic base but that appears to be changing.
Despite publicly distancing himself from the conservative initiative known as Project 2025 on the campaign trail this year, President Trump is stocking his administration with people who played central roles in developing it.

The Heritage Foundation first published the initiative back in 2022.
Another anti-Semitic incident in Australia. Vandals have torched a car and sprayed graffiti with anti-Israel slogans in a Sydney suburb. This attack comes just days after federal police established a task force to investigate increasing incidents of such crimes across the country. Authorities say the town where this latest attack took place is home to Australia’s largest Jewish community. Last week’s arson at a Melbourne synagogue marked an escalation in anti-Semitism dating back to the Hamas attack on Israel in October of last year.
New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy has signed a law to prohibit book bans in the state and enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians. New Jersey becomes the latest Democrat-led state to enact a law designed to keep parents from removing pornographic material from the children’s section of their school library or public library. Illinois and Minnesota have already done so. Under the New Jersey statute, libraries cannot exclude books because of the views of the material or of its authors.
