Video Description:
Ryan and Emily discuss polls showing Democrat voters turning on Israel.
Generated Summary:
Main Topic:
The video discusses a significant shift in Democratic voters’ views on Israel and Palestine, particularly among younger Democrats, and the implications of this shift on American politics.
Key Points:
- Dramatic Poll Shift: A CNN poll shows a massive change in Democratic voters’ sympathies, moving from favoring Israel by 13 points in 2017 to favoring Palestine by 43 points currently. Among younger Democrats (18-49), the shift is even more pronounced, a 70-point swing.
- Decline of Pro-Israel Lobby Influence: The hosts argue that pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC and DMFI are losing their power and influence within the Democratic party. Their attempts to suppress criticism of Israel, particularly targeting progressive members of Congress like “The Squad,” have backfired.
- Backlash Against AIPAC’s Tactics: The hosts suggest that AIPAC’s aggressive tactics in Democratic primaries, spending millions to defeat candidates critical of Israel, have contributed to the growing resentment among Democratic voters.
- Public Opinion vs. Elected Officials: The video highlights the disconnect between the changing public opinion and the views of many elected Democratic officials, who have been largely shielded from the pressure due to the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups.
- Impact of Recent Events: The recent conflict and the actions of the Netanyahu government, particularly the incident involving American security contractors shooting at aid seekers in Gaza, are cited as potential catalysts for the shift in public opinion.
- Democratic Leadership in Trouble: The hosts point out that a significant percentage of Democrats now want to replace their party leaders, indicating a growing dissatisfaction with the establishment’s stance on the issue.
- Richie Torres’ Silence: The hosts note that Richie Torres, a prominent pro-Israel Democrat, has been unusually quiet on the issue recently, suggesting that he is feeling the pressure from the changing political landscape.
Highlights:
- The 70-point swing in younger Democrats’ views on Israel/Palestine is described as a “radical transformation.”
- The video features a clip of American security contractors apparently shooting at Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza, which the hosts use as an example of why public opinion is shifting.
- The hosts discuss the “Bowman effect,” suggesting that Jamal Bowman’s victory over a pro-Israel incumbent may have contributed to Richie Torres’ recent silence on the issue.
Wow… people are turned off by genocide. Who’da thunk it?
Even if 1% sympatise with israel it is would be insane at this point
The people are, but our politicians and government continue to fully support and fund another genocide in the Middle East.
[Verse 1]
- Generals gathered in their masses
- Just like witches at black masses
- Evil minds that plot destruction
- Sorcerer of death’s construction
- In the fields, the bodies burning
- As the war machine keeps turning
- Death and hatred to mankind
- Poisoning their brainwashed minds
[Bridge]
- Politicians hide themselves away
- They only started the war
- Why should they go out to fight?
- They leave that all to the poor, yeah
- Time will tell on their power minds
- Making war just for fun
- Treating people just like pawns in chess
- Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah[1]
something something something shut up and support the genocide apologist who beat medicade as candidate.
Israel absolutely destroyed support from the U.S. in the coming decades, when younger voters age into a more electorally active demographic.
