Israel’s position in American politics has shifted, dramatically and permanently. This is clear not only in opinion polls of US voters, but in the rhetoric of political campaigns, which are more focused than ever on foreign policy - yet go out of their way to avoid any mention of Israel.
US policy continues to lag far behind public opinion, which now clearly wants an end to support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, its invasion of Lebanon, and its outsized influence on US policymaking.
But as each election cycle passes, more politicians are going to be elected who fastidiously avoid taking pro-Israel money, and who commit to a change in foreign policy.
Presidential races are no exception; Democratic hopefuls have either distanced themselves from Aipac, the country’s most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, or tried desperately - often embarrassingly - to avoid the topic.https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-has-become-toxic-brand-us-so-its-advocates-are-shifting-tactics
