Jon Ossoff is not betraying Israel, and his critics do not speak for Georgia’s Jews – opinion

Recent op-eds by Michael Morris and David Zalik, published in the Jewish press, have criticized Senator Jon Ossoff, claiming to represent the views of Georgia's Jewish community. The author refutes this, stating that these critics do not speak for the majority of Georgia Jews and that their attacks are a "desperate rear-guard action" to aid Ossoff's Republican opponent, Congressman Mike Collins.

• Ossoff, a proud Jewish American, has consistently supported Israel, voting in favor of arms sales and aid 90% of the time.
• His critics' agitation stems from his votes against three specific arms sales, which Ossoff opposed due to their connection to violations of US law regarding the use of American weapons.
• The author argues that a US official's primary duty is to American interests, not to align with an ally's agenda 100% of the time, and that Ossoff's votes demonstrate "integrity."
• The article also highlights Collins's extreme political positions and associations with individuals who spread antisemitic propaganda, contrasting them with Ossoff's competence, integrity, and ability to work across the aisle.
