"One thing that was made stark this week is that there are many Jews [...] who have liked many of Trump's policies regarding Israel and the middle east. They love the fact that the embassy was moved to Jerusalem. They liked the scuttling of the Iran deal. But I hope this week that American Jews have woken up to the price of that bargain.
