From a column by The Washington Post's Max Boot:
"... I am also troubled by the turn in international public opinion against the state of Israel. It’s perfectly understandable that in a recent Gallup poll, only 32 percent of Americans back the Gaza war — a new low. I am more concerned that, in a Pew Research Center poll taken even before the current famine, a majority of Americans — 53 percent — had an unfavorable view of Israel. Among Democrats, that’s 69 percent. Even half of all Republicans under age 50 say they have an unfavorable view of the Jewish state.
Israel is losing an entire generation of Americans, with Democrats, in particular, turning against the U.S.-Israel alliance. A majority of Senate Democrats just voted to block sales of some weapons to Israel, and leading Democratic activists are suggesting that cutting off aid to Israel should be a litmus test in the party."
