Agenda now showing up in primary results, congressional votes, more
By WND Staff
New polling confirms that there’s now a ” structural shift inside the Democratic Party” and the surging criticism of, and opposition to, Israel is showing up in primary results, congressional votes, and more.
According to an analysis from Israel365News of the results from the AP-NORC polling, this is what’s happening:
–Sen. Bernie Sanders, born Jewish, has led schemes in the Senate to block arms sales to Israel, calling the government “racist” and “extremist.”
–And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who long had been seen as a reliable friend of Israel, is declining to commit to supporting Israel’s security in the party’s next platform.
The polling, done June 11-17 among 3,040 adults including an oversample of 1,022 Jewish respondents, confirmed 58% of Democrats now think the U.S. supports Israel too much. That’s up from 45% in 2024.
–Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat from New York and a stalwart supporter of Israel, lost badly in his primary to Brad Lander, who insists he’ll be one of the most vocal Jewish advocates, for Palestinian rights.
