      A Jewish Senator sponsored the resolution to block further weapons sales, so at least some people are able to separate the Jewish religion from the Israeli government.

    I hate linking to anything in the NYT. They’ve been on the slow path to manufacturing consent for fascism for years now.

      Kind of ironic they’re discussing changing opinions on Israel. NYT has been the leader in perpetuation antiquated opinions and pushing the “anything anti-Israel is antisemitic” narrative.

      Opinions are not changing. A progressive is getting too much media attention.

      Mr. Mamdani focused his message on making New York City affordable.

      Politicians don’t pay attention to voters. They pay attention to their reelection chances. That can’t happen when they don’t control the narrative.

      Plus they are old.

      Older Democrats’ views have swung even more sharply than young ones against Israel in recent years. Between 2022 and 2025, according to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Democrats age 50 and over with an unfavorable view of the Jewish state jumped a remarkable 23 percentage points. This shift has largely erased the party’s generation gap on the subject.

      Polling changed. Young voters usually are ignored.
