Israel's unprovoked attack on Gaza last week that resulted in yet more childrens' death and trauma,
widely related on social media, is sure to further damage Israel's
reputation among Democrats. The last time Israel attacked Gaza, in May 2021, even traditional friends got
wobbly, The New York Times put the faces of 60+ dead Palestinian children on the front page, and
a subsequent poll revealed that 38 percent of American Jews under 40 believe Israel is an apartheid state.
Today more U.S. politicians
are daring not to support Israel's latest attack; and one young American Jewish group
damned the attack as a political stunt by Israel's prime minister Yair Lapid to stay in power, facing an election November 1.
But Israeli politics could not be more different. Jewish Israelis saw the attack
as a great success. All Israel is "united" in support of the Gaza attack, says Israel advocate Daniel Gordis, wh
o describes "wall-to-wall agreement in Israel (except, as expected and even understandably, from the Arab parties)."
