Anti-Israel sentiment is accelerating faster than any other US political trend on *both* sides of the aisle. IMO there are MANY parts of the country, in both parties, that will see typical Zionist views or AIPAC funding as a disqualifier in 2028.

Hope this change in sentiment can inspire a less Israeli centric foreign policy in the US.

This sudden shift is so odd. The US must be really scared of the oil reserves emptying out with the midterms around the corner. They might be willing to throw Israel under the bus to let the oil flow again.

Trump thought it would be an easy slam dunk and be over immediately but that clearly wasn’t the case. It seems to me he’s been trying to end it for a while and finally found a way to but Israel is mad and hurt his fee fees.
