Is American Jewry going in a more right-wing direction in your opinion?

For years the most dominant faction in American Jewry was Liberal, Zionist-Democrats. In the 90s they were very pro-Israel, devoted Zionists, but also committed to Liberalism and Liberal values. They were in a very close relationship with the Clintons. In the Obama era there was a rising faction that supported the more Progressive policies Obama tried to promote and supported a more complicated relationship with Israel and balanced towards the Palestinians. Ideological left, enthusiastic and even determined support for the two-state solution, support for international organizations, etc. For example Peter Beinart and Jeremy Ben-Ami.

The old-school Liberal Zionists had some tension with Obama but they still supported him and despite criticizing Obama, they did not take sides in the fight between Netanyahu and Obama

However, Jews are not one piece. One faction is now becoming very powerful, and extremely influential in American politics. It shows its dominance: The more Conservative, Pro-Netanyahu, Florida Jews that are Netanyahu's strongest power base in the US. They are also becoming more and more powerful in the Political scene. For example, the Falic family, Netanyahu's top donors. A worldview that matches that of the GOP and of Netanyahu's: hawks, support for settlements and Judea and Samaria, perception of a struggle between civilizations, capitalist economy, conservative in the cultural and national sense. Ron Dermer (Netanyahu's close advisor), Ben Shapiro, the new ambassador Yehiel Leiter - also relatively represent this wing. Although this group is considered very influential, it was considered a minority among American Jews.

As Israel became more conservative, the progressive group in US Jewry/left became stronger and gained more traction, to a level that its influence nearly rivaled that of AIPAC and became very influential even among Democratic administrations, they had an open door with Obama and they also knew how to lobby effectively with Biden

But while this group became powerful among the democratic governments and in many cases invited pressure on Israel, it failed to communicate with the Israeli public and in many cases was even rejected with contempt.

In this war we saw a rift among American Jewish groups, while there were many democratic Jews who stood unreservedly with Israel and against the pro-Palestinian protesters, the progressive group was quite caught. On the one hand, to try to maintain progressive values ​​and try to be balanced, and on the other hand, to fight anti-Semitism. The inability/willingness to fight left-wing anti-Semitism and the pro-Palestinian movement also made many liberal Zionists disgusted with this group, Add to that the fact that we have seen a resurgence of the phenomenon in the last year of a "liberal robbed by reality" and many American Jews who did not trust Harris and voted out of choice for Trump (for example Trump reached a historic peak among New York Jews), and the feeling that many people are starting to get fed up with the progressive movement, What do you think is the political future of American Jews? Is there a shift in the conservative direction? Towards a more liberal Bill Maher style? Or am I just overanalyzing it?
