Shocking Gallup survey finds 60% of Dems are anti-Israel — first time ever for major US political party

[NorthernHawkeye]

It’s the first time ever that a Gallup survey showed a majority of members of a main US political party had a negative opinion of the Jewish state, with the question being asked since 1989.

Shocking Gallup survey finds 60% of Dems are anti-Israel — first time ever for major US political party

The Democrats have turned against the Jews in Israel. Only 33% of Democrats have a favorable view of Israel while 60% have an unfavorable view, a new poll reveals.

Not anti-Israel but definitely anti-Netanyahu

Easy explanation though. Trump is pro Israel. That's all it takes for a majority of Dems to be anti-.

Kinda like how the polls will soon be coming out that Europe, Canada, and basically all free market capitalist democracies om the world will be 60+% anti-American, with a negative view of US foreign relations and trade policies. Book it.

It’s probably the genocide the US is supporting not the Israeli people

You really can’t think of ANYTHING else that might be driving those numbers?

To be fair, he probably can't. Wop has gone off the deep end. And the pool was empty.

Thats nonsensical

Lets try not wanting to support genocide. Why do repubs support genocide?

Trump is pro Trump. Full stop.

I mean...I don't think 60% of Dems are Nazis but if you do then I guess that's your prerogative. ;-)

Reality is when you think EVERYTHING someone does is terrible, then your opinion is no longer considered on anything. So while Dems bring up valid concerns sometimes, those get discarded offhand because they disagree with all the good things too. Dems brought that on themselves. (When Ds are in power the right wing does the same thing).

As I've warned for years, this is a danger of placating the wings of the party, as it dilutes the center.

This. But try to get that to sink in to the pea brains like @thewop.

So the US is committing genocide, not Israeli people?

Israel’s government hasn’t done anything that could have caused that negative opinion.

Is the next Democratic presidential candidate going to run on ending aid to Israel?

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Historically Dems are anti Israel

Republicans pro for Biblical reasons

God in being not happy with Israel allowed crazy stuff.

Some how Republicans take one verse and run with it.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

It's a mystery why Dems have soured on Israel under Netanyahu.

 

[thewop]

Israel’s government hasn’t done anything that could have caused that negative opinion.

You kind of muddled 2 statements together there. Israel's government isn't great, and often handles things in a draconian manner. Without knowing the history of the region and Israels place in it, and by completely ignoring everything we know about Hamas...sure, you could arrive at that on your own.

But Hamas is a terrorist organization and Israel is where it is because it tried way too many times to offer peaceful solutions to this conflict.

So to my earlier point...Because I don't believe Dems are simply pro terrorist, I believe they are anti-israel because Trump is pro. Or maybe I'm wrong and the average Democrat is simply pro terrorist...is that your argument?

I hope so.

Ahh narratives.

That will be the Faux News headline.

This sounds like one of Lute’s posts, but with a heavy dose of stupidity

 

[jneffer]

stop me if you've heard this before...

a country is the victim of a horrific terrorist attack which garners it tremendous sympathy and support, but then responds to that attack with widespread military action and occupation against a civilian population (that was, at worst, complicit to the presence of the terrorist organization or, at best, victims of oppression from that terrorist organization) which sours public opinion toward that country

 

[Flie]

The "dems hate the jews" narrative is amusing. Most Jewish-American people are democrat.

Take dissatisfaction with the current regime and spin it into hatred of the Jewish people. Well done. Straight out of the Trump playbook.

Do your homework.
