"Obama went to the heart of the Arab world in Cairo in 2009 and basically said to those people, 'Look, Israel is our friend and it will always be that way and the holocaust happened. Accept it. It doesn't make sense to deny the facts.'"
But Mr. Romney's criticism of what he called "the president's late efforts" to impose economic sanctions to stop Iran's nuclear program did connect with Stanley Zerner, a Jewish-American and Democrat, who says he will not support President Obama.
"I think he has talked for four years. 'We're not gonna let the Iranians build uranium plants. We're not gonna let them get material to do that.' And here it is four years later and nothing has been done. And Iran is close to building those plants, getting that atomic bomb."
While the candidates are courting Jewish-American support, some Muslim Americans in Florida, like political activist Amber Chaudhry, say they are turning away from the pro-Israel bias in both campaigns.
In this very close election, analysts believe both candidates have made a political calculation to compete for the larger number of pro-Israel votes among Jewish-Americans and Christian Conservatives even if it means losing some Muslim-American support.艾勒•歇斯跟是迈阿密大学的犹太人口学项目主管。他表示自己并未被罗姆尼的论点说服：“2009年，奥巴马总统造访阿拉伯世界的核心：开罗， 并对那里的人民说：‘以色列是我们的朋友，并且会一直是我们的朋友。大屠杀确实发生了，那就接受这个事实。一味否认事实是没有意义的。’”
但是罗姆尼批评奥巴马总统没有及时对伊朗实施经济制裁以终止其核计划，确实激起了犹太裔美国人斯坦利•岑纳的共鸣。他是民主党人，但表示不会支持奥巴马总统。
“我觉得他这四年就是光说不练。‘我们绝不会允许伊朗人建造铀工厂。我们不会让他们得到建造铀工厂的物资。’现在，四年过去了，我们什么都没有做， 而伊朗离修建这些工厂已经不远了，他们离得到原子弹也已经不远了。”
总统候选人正在讨好犹太裔美国人以获得他们的支持。而在佛罗里达，一些像政治活动家安布尔•乔杜里一样的穆斯林美国人说，他们非常厌恶这两个总统竞选活动中对“亲以色列”的偏好。
分析学家称，在这个势均力敌的竞选中，两个候选人都进行了深度的政治考量，要在犹太裔美国人和基督教保守派中赢得多数“亲以”的选票，尽管这意味着失去一些穆斯林美国人的支持。
