- Batya Ungar-Sargon explains why so many American Jews became Dems — and why some now feel politically homeless
Batya Ungar-Sargon discusses in her book 'The Jews and the Left' how American Jews historically aligned with the Democratic Party due to labor rights advocacy and civil rights movements, but some now question the party's current stance on issues like antisemitism. She highlights the role of Jewish immigrants in the garment industry and their transition from workers to employers, shaping political allegiances over time.
