CNN data guru Harry Enten broke down the latest polling in the Democratic Party on views toward Israel and the Palestinians on Wednesday and marveled at the massive shift in attitudes, declaring he’s “rarely” seen anything like it in his many years of looking at polling data.
Enten spoke to anchor Kate Bolduan in the context of Zohran Mamdani’s sweeping victory over ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral primary last week.
“What are we talking about here? All right, who do Democrats sympathize more with: Israelis or Palestinians? In 2017, the Democratic Party was a pro-Israeli party. Look at this. They sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points—more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But look at this sea change. Now, Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points.Oh my God! That is a change in the margin of 56 points over the course of just eight years. So all of a sudden, it’s the pro-Palestinian position that actually reigns supreme in Democratic politics, not the Israeli position. And that is part of the reason why Mamdani was able to do so well in this primary, because those attacks over Israel, simply put, did not ring true for Democrats”
I was kind of on Iseral’s side in the beginning. 1200 dead for no reason?
Then I found out Iseral started murdering peaceful prostestors before Hamas came over. Fuck Iseral and their bullshit.
Israel has a long and fucked up history. They’re like a little ADHD fucker in the playground with the huge older brother and a father as the head school administrator. No one dare punch the little fucker in the face.
Whenever someone claims they are “gods people”, you’re going to have a bad time.
Even Hamas tried peaceful protests in 2017 and Israel murdered them.
Are you talking about the Great March of Return? They repeatedly tried to breach the border fence under cover of the protests. Of course Israel can’t allow that.
I’m with you on this one. What could they do but hvae their snipers target the elderly, children, and disabled? And they were being humane too! They were aiming specifically for the knees so rhat they wouldn’t be killed, but just completely disabled for the rest of their lives. Honestly confused as to why Israeli leadership wasn’t nominated for a Nobel peace price for that one.
Most of those killed and injured were fighters and members of militant organizations who were attacking the fence or supporting attacks on the fence by burning tires for thick smoke.
Some innocents were hurt, yes. The IDF is far from perfect.
No about the handicapped people in wheelchairs and medics which the IDF sniped.
This guy in the wheelchair using a sling to hurl stones?

It was a false flag, obvious from the first tape of the assault at the party
Israelis have been downpressing the Palestinians for as long as there have been Israelis and Palestinians
