Trump won the largest Jewish county in the country, the only entirely Jewish town and village, and some of the densest, fastest growing and most Jewish neighborhoods in America.
Borough Park, Brooklyn, is the densest Jewish neighborhood in the country. Its two square miles contain nearly 100,000 Jewish people in 23,000 households. 83% are married and only 2% are divorced. 96% are members of synagogues. This was where large crowds protested pandemic lockdowns, tearing down playground fences and burning masks.
Trump won over 90% of the vote in most Borough Park districts. On 14th Avenue and Rabbi Weissmandl Way, Trump won 96% of the vote in a very Jewish district.
In Chicago’s West Rogers Park, a Muslim terrorist shot a Jewish man who was walking to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and then did battle with police while shouting, “Allahu Akbar”.
Trump won the more Orthodox areas of West Rogers Park, which Chicago Magazine described as, “a world of synagogues, kosher bakeries, and Hebrew bookstores” by over 70%.
A pro-terrorist mob descended on the Pico-Robertson community in Los Angeles, and assaulted Jewish community members outside the Adas Torah synagogue while the police did nothing.
Trump won the Pico Robertson community. He also won the adjoining communities of Beverly Hills and the Orthodox Jewish community in the Fairfax area near the Holocaust museum, and which had suffered a BLM pogrom that vandalized synagogues and businesses in 2020. Down in the valley, he also won the Valley Village as well as some Jewish areas in Encino and Tarzana.
In Surfside, the most ‘Jewish community’ of the Miami area, where Jews make up a third of the population, Trump won 61% of the vote. In Aventura, Miami, a melting pot of Jews from Latin America, the former USSR and the Middle East, where the majority of the population is Jewish, Trump won 59% of the vote.
These snapshots of some of the densest Jewish communities in the country, in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Florida, show how Jews actually voted on Election Day.
Despite the push polls from liberal Jewish organizations and dubious exit polls, actual precinct data from the largest Jewish neighborhoods in the country show that Jews voted for Trump.
Precinct data, unlike polls, don’t represent a statistical cross-section of the population and can’t be biased, they show how actual Jewish communities voted in a truly objective way.
Closer breakdowns in New York and New Jersey show in depth the impact of the Trump vote in the most Jewish neighborhoods and areas in cities and states.
In Brooklyn, in Crown Heights, the home of the Lubavitch chassidic movement which Trump visited before the election, the area shines bright red amid a seat of blue from the surrounding hipster and black communities. Trump won 74% of the vote in Crown Heights South.
A red beach on the map of Brooklyn represents the chassidic community of South Williamsburg, where Trump won an average of 90% of the vote. Midwood, home to tens of thousands of Orthodox (but not Chassidic) Jews, is another bright stretch of red, with Trump winning 90% or more of the votes in many precincts.
In the Syrian Jewish enclave of Gravesend, Trump won between 85% and 91% of the vote.
But it’s not just religious Jews.
Trump won over 70% of the vote in the Brighton Beach enclave founded by Russian Jews. Queens, home to a large population of older working class Jewish retirees and Russian immigrants (along with working class Irish and Italians of another era), is almost all red.
Trump won some Kew Gardens Hills, Queens precincts by over 80%. The New York Times wrote that Kew Gardens Hills “supports one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in New York City.”
Moving outside the city and further upstate, in the chassidic town of Palm Tree, N.Y., Trump won 98% of the vote, by 7489-122 and in the village of New Square, which is also all chassidic, Trump won 3,456 votes to 12 votes for Kamala.
In the larger Rockland County, N.Y., which has the largest Jewish population of any county in the country at 31%, Trump won a majority of the vote.
While Bruce Springsteen came out of Monmouth County, N.J., and campaigned for Kamala, the area is home to the third largest concentration of Jews in the state; it’s also one of the most populated and fastest-growing Jewish communities, and Trump won it.
Monmouth County includes the Syrian Jewish area of Deal, where Trump held a fundraiser.
Trump won Ocean County and Passaic County, N.J., even more decisively 67% to 31%. In Ocean County’s Lakewood township, where Jews make up 2 out of 3 residents, Trump won 99% of the vote. In Bergen County’s somewhat more liberal Teaneck Modern Orthodox Jewish precinct, Trump won 71% of the vote.
While Democrats and the media will go on peddling their own push polls and surveys which will claim that the vast majority of Jews are Democrats (and some will go on believing them), the hard data from election precincts shows very clearly how Jewish neighborhoods voted.
Trump won Jewish neighborhoods across America. The community is diverse, representing Middle Eastern, Latin American, Russian and Orthodox Jews. Many of these communities do not show up in polls and surveys, which capture only a very conventional liberal demographic of third generation Eastern European and German descended Reform Jews.
Democrats, liberal Jewish groups and the media ignore some of the largest and fastest growing Jewish communities in America because they don’t fit the liberal suburban ‘Temple’ template.
The Trump campaign did not make that same mistake and won them.
Pro-Trump Jewish communities can be ignored in polls and surveys, but they can’t be ignored on Election Day. Most Jewish neighborhoods in America voted for Trump.

Hamas-Linked CAIR Says Jews Attacking People in Brooklyn is Part of a Pattern

This WNBC broadcast is about Orthodox Jews in broad-brimmed Borsalino hats “beating” a Palestinian couple on the street of Brooklyn.
Although reports say that the victims had cuts and bruises on their faces, we do not see the actual “beating,” for whatever reason.
Reporter Marc Santia immediately turned to the executive director of the New York chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Afaf Nasher, for comment. Nasher says:
It's another unfortunate incident, unfortunately in a sequence of incidents because we have all seen a sharp increase in Islamophobia.
But that's a mischaracterization. There are almost no examples of Jews attacking Muslims. It is also important to keep in mind that CAIR has nothing to do with this story. It knows nothing about it, and has no information or contacts, nothing at all.
In 2023, we saw over 8,000 incidents and complaints come in of some sort of bias or a hate crime, and that is a record-breaking number.
It is hard to accept the idea that this incident is representative of the American Muslim experience. CAIR’s claim of over 8,000 complaints is based on its latest civil rights report, “Fatal: The Resurgence of Anti-Muslim Hate.” CAIR’s report does not include 8,000 complaints. That would be unwieldy. But of those incidents they do include, many took place in previous years, including 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.
In other words, the 8,000 examples from 2023 are not enough for CAIR to make their point that “Israeli violence” is causing “rampant Islamophobia.” Afaf Nasher’s claim that the Jews attacking Palestinians on the streets of Brooklyn is part of a pattern is not supported by their report. In fact, there are very few physical assaults in CAIR’s report. And, those assaults included in CAIR’s “Fatal” report are all isolated incidents, not part of a “sequence of incidents.” Muslims in America are not being attacked by any movement, group, or internationally financed campaign. CAIR’s own data is proof of this.
However, CAIR very much wants to give the impression that “Israeli violence” is causing people to attack Muslims. Yet the only unifying feature of the assaults on Muslims in CAIR’s report is opposition to public support for Hamas in this country.
WNBC supports the claim that there is a rise in anti-Muslim hate crime. They cite a reference to the NYPD, which says that anti-Muslim incidents have doubled since this same time last year. But how many of those incidents recorded by the NYPD involve Jews attacking Muslims? Again, the station did not include a spokesperson from the police to give details on their data, such as what exactly constitutes a hate crime.
CAIR has freely admitted that it uses its own definition of a hate crime, which is different from the ones that local law enforcement or even the FBI use. The NYPD defines a Hate Crime/Bias Incident as:
A bias incident is any offense or unlawful act that is motivated in whole or substantial part by a person’s, a group’s or a place’s identification with a particular race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, ancestry, national origin, or sexual orientation (including gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender) as determined by the commanding officer of the Hate Crime Task Force.
The FBI breaks down bias/hate crimes into categories such as destruction/damage/vandalism, intimidation, aggravated or simple assault. According to the FBI:
Hate speech itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.
But according to CAIR, “hate” is a crime. In an example from Florida, CAIR considers public rudeness to be a crime.
CAIR’s executive director in Minnesota has said that mental illness is not an excuse during the commission of a crime against Muslims. CAIR’s deputy executive director has said the same thing. And the CAIR Connecticut chapter was all knives out for the clearly insane Andrey Desmond.
This news segment from WNBC has similarities to another NBC broadcast out of Washington state, when KING5 reported on a Muslim named Riaz Khan, saying he was “targeted” because of his ethnicity and political affiliation. But there was no evidence of an attack: no witnesses, no security camera footage, and no evidence of injury to Khan, who, when police responded to his call, declined medical attention.
In spite of the lack of evidence for this supposed attack, the NBC affiliate included a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which had nothing to do with any of it.
Another network affiliate, CBS’s KIRO, covered the same story without mentioning CAIR, but instead cited the Washington State Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC), which said that anti-Muslim incidents had nearly doubled since last year. But is a story with no evidence at all really the best occasion for a discussion of the statistics on anti-Muslim incidents? Does the WASPC’s data include any such dubious examples as Riaz Khan’s, an incident without any evidence? Or is the station simply trying to justify this political campaign stunt as an example of a hate crime?
There is a nationwide and industry-wide problem with TV stations putting CAIR on broadcasts without good reason, allowing its representatives simply to spread misinformation. Network affiliates from coast to coast will include CAIR on subjects ranging from the George Floyd riots to girls’ softball games in Iowa. In this case, WNBC has helped CAIR promote the idea that Jews are responsible for CAIR’s supposed increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
