Related: About this forum"The Number One Prospect": Why We Should All Have Our Eyes on Sen. Jon Ossoff
Apr 20, 2026
High praise from The Save America Movement's Steve Schmidt, who calls Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) the "Tom Brady" of the Democratic Party. Steve and Dean Blundell explain why he's breaking through with voters not just in Georgia, but across the country -- with messaging that calls out the corruption of the Trump Administration in no uncertain terms.

(3,442 posts)1. Where does he stand on Gaza/AIPAC/Netanyahu and etc.?
I know he's Jewish, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't know much about his political views. Thanks in advance.

Also, he accepted less in donations from Israel-centric lobbies than his GA counterpart, Sen Warnock. If this is a purity test, there are other Democratic contenders.

not all support Netanyahu.

It is known if people are able to see distinctions and not give in to assumptions or ether/or stereotyping.

That dont support Netanyahu, not many. More Secular are the sane ones in almost every religion.

Bad comparison. I think Ossoff is better than that.
