No issue threatens to break President Biden's fragile Democratic coalition like Israel's response to the Hamas terrorist attack.
Why it matters: Infighting is spreading, slowly but meaningfully, at every layer of the Democratic Party over Biden's full-throated support of Israel. It runs much deeper than college campus protests or caustic comments from elected officials.
Step back and survey the split:
Many liberal Jews are furious that so many progressive Democrats aren't more outraged by the slaughter of family and friends back in Israel. Some are threatening to leave the party.
Pro-Palestinian Democrats are outraged at the rising death tolls in Gaza made possible by Biden's posture.
Biden's administration and political operation are getting tense and growing more deeply divided. Nearly 20% of the DNC's roughly 300 employees signed a letter asking their boss to demand a ceasefire, Axios' Alex Thompson reports.
A junior State Department foreign affairs officer sent a massive internal email to organize a "dissent cable" on the administration's Israel policy — and alleged on social media that Biden is "complicit in genocide" in Gaza, Axios' Hans Nichols and Barak Ravid scooped.
By contrast, Republicans are mostly united in supporting Israel and have been consistently for a long time.
Among Democrats in Congress, the divide is deep and personal:
Day after day, more House Democrats are criticizing Israel's expanding ground operations, raising concerns with Biden's policy and even calling for a ceasefire.
At least five of the liberal House Democrats in "The Squad" are likely to face primary challengers after criticizing U.S. military aid to Israel — Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Cori Bush (Mo.), Summer Lee (Pa.) and Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.). Money is expected to pour in.

Voting democrat is voting approval of hamas
Wont last long, Israel will finish in Gaza, the Muslim nations will roll over and recognize that its better to do business with Israel than have another costly war in the mideast.
The DNC employs around 60 Hamas terrorists.
TrueNazisTM and their running swine are wrestling for control of the democratic party.
The party of American patriots. I know it might hurt, but the democratic party needs to save itself from this by booting these Nazis out of Congress. Now!
You are optimistic …
Funny how liberal Jews have been willing to sleep with political whores and are now shocked, shocked to find out they are filthy diseased whores who actually hate you. They just want your money and vote.
Democrats have been pretty amazing at holding together all the motley factions of their coalition who would otherwise be at each others throats. Liberal Jews, Jihadis, alphabet mafia, black supremacists…it’s really amazing that they’ve been able to service all of them while not losing the others, but this Israel-Hamas war really has them over a barrel.
In one audio recording, a Hamas footsoldier called his mother back in Gaza and reported on how he had just slaughtered a Jewish family. He was calling from the home of the family he butchered. He spoke about how proud she would be of him for how he made them suffer before killing them.
This will not be forgotten. In fact, over time, more of what happened will come to light and some Muslims are even worried about how this will expose the truth about Islam to the world.
Dear liberal Jews.......the DEMOCRAT PARTY DESPISES YOU.....BUT THEY LOVE YOUR DONATIONS!
Yeh Israel will kill those animals, afterwards there will be peace, because they are dead.
This is what I am saying. The Left will not be at war with itself afterwards either because Hamas will be done with.
Enemies foreign, enemies domestic.
Yeah, I have news for Axios, the fake news team that lives to help the Demon Rat party: Joe Biden does not support Israel.
The footsoldiers of Hamas are like shark's teeth. For every one killed, there are thousands, perhaps millions behind him.
You can't kill an ideology like Islam by sending its soldiers to their god. You just encourage other martyrs.
Where have you been? We have been discussing the truth about Islam here since 9/11.
Media--even conservative media, including some online--have been hesitant to show Hamas cruelty. It's past time to show it all.
The divide between good and evil has arrived at the doorstep of the DemoRats.
Speaks volumes about the party itself.
OTOH, Twitter has been showing them all.
Not optimistic. Just plain wrong.
The Hamas attack demands decisive actions. Hamas must pay such a premium they will never be able to try again
