Rocky, I appreciate you calling out the not-so-latent antisemitism in OPs comment. I would like to point out that, to many Jews, distinguishing between "white Jews" and "Jews of color" is problematic at best and offensive at worst. I'm not sure how I "present" to others, but the Nazis didn't beat, starve and torture my grandparents and murder their families because of their "whiteness."

In connection with the larger theme of the thread, I've heard plenty of theorizing in the media about how Kamala's supposed lack of support for Gaza cost her votes. It's interesting, though, that I've seen far fewer wondering if the overt antisemitism both propagated and tolerated by many on the extreme left might have cost the dems votes? I mean, maybe ask Richie Torres or George Latimer.
