  "account": "Two op-eds personally attacking Senator Jon Ossoff have appeared in the Jewish press, purporting to speak on behalf of the entire Georgia Jewish community. However, Ossoff is running for re-election as the senior senator from Georgia, and Michael Morris and David Zalik do not represent the community. Ossoff, who grew up in Atlanta, is a strong supporter of Israel and has consistently voted in favor of arms sales and aid to Israel. The critics are upset that Ossoff has not voted the way they want on every Israel-related vote, but voting against Israel's legislative agenda when it conflicts with US interests or conscience is not \"infidelity\" but rather integrity. Ossoff has the advantage over his opponent, Congressman Mike Collins, who is a proponent of extreme MAGA positions and has been associated with American Nazis and Christian Nationalists. Ossoff has been an effective legislator, serving Georgia's interests and opposing corruption in the Trump administration.",
  "summary": "American Jews, and Georgia’s Jews, are not “single issue” voters. Ossoff represents exactly that sentiment in the American Jewish community, and among American voters at large.",
