Black and Jewish alliance

As a white, non-Jewish American, I’m on the Black side of TikTok. (The algorithm knows who I aline with politically).
Out if this political carnage, Black women discovered and have acknowledged (1) Black men stuck with them and voted for Harris; (2) Jewish women voted overwhelmingly for Harris( (3) Arab Americans voted against Harris.
The sad part is that Black women are vowing to disconnect with the pro-Palestine movement (they were the strongest non-Muslim proponents of free Palestine movement) feeling that they have been abandoned by Muslims.
The good part is that they realized that their natural Allies are Jewish Americans, particularly Jewish women.
It never occurred to me that there would be a generation of Americans who only know Jews as “ White people” or “Zionists” and don’t get history of Jewish support (and blood support) during the civil rights era.
Know your Allies.
If we ever get a Palestinian State, Jews and AA will be the architects of that plan.
