Since October 7, there has been a divide. Polls have found that Democratic voters are about equally sympathetic to Palestinians and Israelis, do not approve of Israel’s response to the attack by Hamas, and favor sending humanitarian aid to Gaza by far larger margins than sending weapons to Israel. But these have not been the priorities of the representatives they elected.
President Joe Biden and most Democrats in Congress continue to take the pro-Israel line that the party has for decades. Biden has rejected calls for a ceasefire while adhering to a longstanding personal policy of largely refraining from public criticism of Israel. Most Democratic members of Congress have avoided breaking with the administration or making themselves a target for pro-Israel groups. Like the president, they tend to be old—the average Democratic House member is 58 and the average senator is 65—and came of age at a time when largely unconditional support for Israel was the norm.

They’ve served their purpose, ushering in 7 million illegals (and counting) and are no longer needed . . . . assholes.
Muslims are not your friend they’ll cut your throat as quick as look at you
I hope this splits the democrats vote
When you’ve lost Mother Jones...
The most we can hope for is that the Muslims won't vote. And the young "progressives" join them.
A bloody, destructive DemonRat civil war is a thing of beauty, to be appreciated and savored. :-) May their casualties be high and their disdain for each other be persistent and bitter! Cheers!
I don’t know why they’re disgusted with Biden. He is not a friend of Israel. He does the photo-ops, sure...but he and his boss Obamugabe sent BILLIONS of dollars to the terrorists who funded Hamas and Hezbollah and other groups who hate Jews.
His party actively supports anti-Semites in Congress, and he says NOTHING.
Let’s quit pretending Joe Biden cares about Israel. Please.
It's more complicated than that. Joe Biden appeased terrorists and he hoped he could buy them out so they wouldn't resort to terrorism. That made him more like Neville Chamberlain.
US support for Israel declines dramatically by age group, with support greatest over age 70 and least under age 30.
What does progressive really mean..what do they want to “Progress” Ive always wondered..besides Jew hatred..this has NOTHING to do with Israel..this has everything to do with the fact that the far left has always despised the Jews but now they can walk around saying this is about Israel..no its not, its about how they feel like now is the time to show their true colors who they really are
Yet they cannot name who Washington DC was named after or which country is the Panama Canal located in.
Of course Biden does not care about Israel..but he goes to bed every night after he gets his diaper changed and a warm glass of milk, praying that there is NO terrorist attack in this country, especially one carried out by one of his fellow commies..that is what keeps him up at night, he knows that if there is just ONE terrorist attack here in the name of Hamas he’s done, finished, kaput
Young “progressives” are idiots... period.
Exactly. "Peace for our time"
Arafat and Abbas (in different eras) both proposed a “two state solution”. Palestinians wanted to kill both because they insist on a “Death-to-Israel” solution.
This Leftist scum loves Hamas because they are doing to Israelis what they want to do to Conservatives. Pure envy on their part.
>>”President Joe Biden and most Democrats in Congress continue to take the pro-Israel line that the party has for decades.”
As usual, Mother Jones mis-represents the truth. There’s nothing pro-Israel about giving billions to Iran so that they could fund this latest butchery from Hamas. And in this conflict, siding with Israel is not pro-Israel. It’s pro-Humanity. And it’s anti-raping-women, anti-slaughtering-civilians, anti-decapitating-babies, and anti-killing-pregnant-mothers-and-their-unborn-babies. What part of that is Mother Jones okay with?
