Many believe that bipartisan support has been Israel’s greatest strategic asset. It’s no longer a consensus, and it is moving farther in a partisan direction. That can only be good news for advocates for Palestinian rights.
Most sensible Israel advocates don’t agree with that approach, but many of the more conservative Jewish Zionists and virtually all of the Christian Zionists are not prepared to compromise on Israel’s right to wage war, kill, and destroy wholesale in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and beyond. This has already crippled Israel’s traditional bipartisan appeal, and if it continues, there will be more and more opportunities for advocacy for Palestinian rights in the Democratic Party.
