Watch: Even CNN Is Forced to Admit That the Modern Democratic Party Is Anti-Israel
The article discusses a notable shift in the Democratic Party’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as illustrated by CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten during a Wednesday broadcast. Previously known for its pro-Israel sentiment, recent statistics reveal that Democrats now sympathize more with Palestinians by 43 points, a drastic 56-point change from 2017. This trend is particularly pronounced among younger Democrats (ages 18 to 49), who now favor Palestinians by a staggering 57 points compared to 14 points in 2017.
Enten attributes this shift to various factors, including changing demographics and societal influences, particularly among younger voters who are increasingly adopting radical views. The rise of figures like Zorhan Mamdani, who has gained political traction within the party, highlights this transformation. Despite the party’s past support for Israel, the evolving perspectives may pose risks as the Democratic Party aligns itself more with far-left ideologies.The article underscores the party’s journey toward radicalism, raising questions about whether these changes will impact voter behavior in future elections.
Even far-left cable news network CNN was forced to admit the Democratic Party is changing — from one that supported Israel, to one that’s rabidly supporting Palestine.
During a Wednesday broadcast, CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten did a segment on changing demographics within the Democratic camp. He may be biased at times, but he is also beholden to the final numbers. And the stats were shocking.
“Andrew Cuomo, during the primary, attacked Mamdani as being insufficiently pro-Israel. I’m not quite sure the former governor understood how much the politics have changed around this issue among Democrats,” Enten began, while standing in front of a video board.
“Who do Democrats sympathize more with: Israelis or Palestinians? In 2017, the Democratic Party was a pro-Israeli party,” he said. “Look at this. They sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points — more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But look at this sea change. Now, Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points.”
That’s a change of 56 points over an eight year span.
“So all of a sudden, it’s the pro-Palestinian position that actually reigns supreme in Democratic politics, not the Israeli position,” Enten explained. “And that is part of the reason why Mamdani was able to do so well in this primary, because those attacks over Israel — simply put — did not ring true for Democrats. They’re now on the side of the Palestinians, not the Israelis.”
Re: Mamdani & Israel, Democrats are longer pro-Israeli when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Dems sympathized more with Israelis by 13 pt in 2017. Now, it’s Palestinians by 43 pt.
Among Dems under 50, it was Israelis by 14 pt in 2017. Now, Palestinians by 57 pt. pic.twitter.com/AfGop8UHTF

Democrats have been known to support Israel for decades and have various Jewish members within their House and Senate caucuses. In 2000, during George W. Bush’s first election, his opponent Al Gore selected Joe Lieberman to be his vice presidential nominee, marking him as the first Jewish man to be nominated for vice president by a major political party.
Yet the youth vote seems to be reshaping the political map for Democrats.
“Who do aged 18 to 49 Democrats sympathize more with?” Enten continued. “The Israelis or the Palestinians? Again, in 2017, younger Democrats sympathized more with the Israelis by 14 points. Look at this shift now. Palestinians — they sympathize more with the Palestinians by 57 points.”
That represents an even greater shift of over 70-points in only eight years. Wow.
The party has been trending towards radical views, but this is an absolute 180.
You can chalk some of this up to academia.
There is an extreme anti-Israeli sentiment that exists in classrooms, on college campuses, and among faculty.
Even Zorhan Mamdani’s status elevation, via his Democratic mayoral primary win, has made it seem hip and cool to support Palestine.
Democrats seem to be fostering this trend by embracing Mamdani and others like him.
Whether or not this translates into more votes remains to be seen, but it’s a risky proposition to get in bed with radicals.
This is just one more example of how the Democratic Party is moving closer and closer to the far-left side of the spectrum with each passing day.
