The Democratic Party's Internal Divide over Israel

The Democratic Party is experiencing a major split over pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian factions, which could potentially tear the party apart for a "generation," according to a Wall Street Journal report. Progressive and leftist politicians and commentators are engaged in a public battle over Israel, with some feeling abandoned by the party and others believing that the party does not care about pro-Palestinian factions. This division has led to declining poll numbers for President Biden among young and minority voters. The debate over the Israel-Hamas war has also spilled into the White House, with Muslim leaders criticizing Biden for not showing enough empathy for Palestinians.
