minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 days agoI’ve seen polls. 🙄 71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters say that the U.S. should end its arms transfers to Israel until it “stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process.” After a decade in which Democrats have shown increasing affinity toward the Palestinians, their sympathies in the Middle East now lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, 49% versus 38%. Also, let’s not ignore Zohran Mamdani winning his primary. Times have changed. Democrats aren’t Zionists and she’s voting against what her voters want.
