Most Democrats are Against Israel

Based on the votes on aid for Israel, this does not appear to be the case. The “Progressives” (“WOKE”) wing is anti-Israel, and generally supports anti-Semitism, but it isn’t clear how strong they are, or perhaps, they are noisy but really not that strong. Biden is nervous about offending them, but that in itself doesn’t mean they are a majority of the Democrats.

While the Republicans have in the recent past been pro-Israel, the “America First” faction seems to be in control of Republican party, and their platform of non-involvement in foreign wars precludes the United States giving anything more than “moral” support to Israel.

While the Progressive (WOKE) Democrats and the American First (MAGA) Republicans make a lot of noise, polls suggest that most supporters of both parties still support the “globalist” foreign policy that has dominated the United States since 1945. We’ll see better after the conventions this summer.

@Akuperma

Your comment is misleading. You seem to equate the “progressive” (WOKE) wing on the left, and the “America First” wing on the right. They are very different.

The America First wing is totally pro-Israel. But they are against all foreign aid, just like they are against all welfare to those who don’t work. There is nothing wrong with that.

The “progressive” WOKE are anti-Israel because they are antisemitic.

They both want to cut aid to Israel, but for different reasons. One of them is a good reason, the other is a scary reason.

“R President Nixon was a known Anti-Semite and of little help with YK War”

That “Anti-Semite” declared during a meeting on October 9, 1973, “The Israelis must not be allowed to lose” and authorized the military airlift of 567 resupply flights which literally saved Israel. The Arabs blamed him for doing so and quickly retaliated with the oil embargo against the United States. Did those minor historical details somehow drop out of your memory?

I’m so shocked and disappointed in you!

CTLawyer: you are a dinosaur and completely out of touch with the modern party which, with fewer and fewer exceptions, is set to turn on the Jews. The fringe has unfortunately become the main stream and Schumer today sounds exactly like Sanders. Biden’s abandonment of Israel seems almost complete as he is poised to call for a ceasefire.

The far-left, which has now become the mainstream of the party has a version of anti-Semitism which is far more dangerous than the anti-Semitism of the far-right because on the left, there are no principles of liberty and freedom which the right more or less accorded to all – even the ones they hate. Rather, the socialist, Marxist Democrat party of today is prepared to strip Jews of all rights, sell Israel out for some votes in swing states and make life for Jews in the US as impossibly difficult as they made life for Jews on college campuses. And dinosaurs like you will continue to defend a party of the past which no longer exists.

with hundreds of millions of dollars.

===================================
Democrats have made all these stupid wicked choices:

(1) choosing Israel’s genocidal enemies over Israel
(2) choosing Muslims over Americans
(3) choosing socialism over democracy
(4) choosing “Free Stuff” over the USA Constitution
(5) choosing criminals over police
(6) choosing illegal aliens over citizens
(7) choosing gays and lesbians over normal people
(8) choosing Jew-hating Black professors over Jewish professors
(9) choosing race-quota-based hiring over merit-based hiring
(10) choosing atheism over All-Mighty G*D.

Caroline Glick said:

“Over the past several years, Congress made several attempts
to amend Title VI to include anti-Jewish discrimination.
These efforts enjoyed broad bipartisan support.

But they were all blocked by members of the progressive
camp inside the Democratic congressional caucus.

Like the anti-Semitic boycott activists ostracizing Jews on campuses,
the progressive lawmakers claimed that expansion of the protections
of Title VI to include anti-Jewish discrimination would undermine
the free speech rights of anti-Israel activists on campuses.

That is, they said the rights of anti-Semites to preach anti-Semitism
superseded the rights of Jewish students not to be harassed.”

from Mosaic Magazine (2019/10/30):

…the extreme progressive Democrats and their allies
who try to delegitimize and demonize Israel have
managed [to make commonplace] a set of mantras…
about the Israel-Palestinian conflict without
questioning their veracity. For instance:

“Israel is or is bound to become an apartheid state
or lose its Jewish identity”;

“Israel is a colonialist and racist state that illegally
occupies Palestinian territory and builds illegal settlements”;

“Israel occupies Gaza”; [and other] nonsensical claims.

dominance over the Democrat Party has only become worse.

qwertyqwerty: The current “America First” is strongly pro-Israel (unlike the original one in the 1930s that was anti-Jewsh) BUT “rooting for Israel” doesn’t help much. Israel needs access to American military gear (and “American First” opposes foreign aid) and the United States willingness to intervene in certain conditions (including the attempt by Iran to block Israeli access to the Red Sea). Many people in many countries were very sympathetic to the Jews in World War II, but did nothing to help – we don’t need such sympathy.

I should add that I would not be surprised if Trump decides that since various allies (e.g. Poland, Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine) are showing a willingness to arm themselves to the teeth and fight for their own freedom, the United States will proudly see the America if First in leading the free world – but given Trump’s (and Biden’s) chaotic style of doing business, one can’t be certain how this will play out.

A square root is mostly not exact.

Square root may be not rational, but he is real.
