Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, have accused Israel. &#8220;apartheid&#8221; And called for the cessation of military support for Israel&#8217;s Jewish state.<\/p>\n<p>Omar&#8217;s claim that U.S. politicians only back Israel because of donations\u2014&#8221;It&#8217;s all about the Benjamins baby,&#8221; she wrote on Twitter in 2019\u2014was widely denounced as anti-Semitic and led to Republicans removing her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier this year. House Democrats voted in 2021 to stop funding Israel&#8217;s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system, under pressure from far left lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an extremely troubling trend,&#8221; Matt Brooks, CEO Republican Jewish Coalition. &#8220;Many elected Democrats claim to be pro-Israel, but party activists and rank-and-file members are increasingly indifferent and even hostile to the Jewish state. It&#8217;s long past time for Democratic leaders to admit they have a problem that must be addressed to restore the historic bipartisan support for Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gallup poll shows that Democrats have seen a marked shift in their views on Israel in the past 20 years. This trend has grown more prominent in recent times.<\/p>\n<p>51 percent of Democrats sympathized with Israelis more in 2001 than the 16 percent who sympathized with Palestinians more. The gap was just 5 points for Israel in 2020, and 2 points last year.<\/p>\n<p>Independents also supported Palestinians by 6 points more since 2022. However, they still sided with Israel by 49% to 32%.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to the poll, Republican views were unchanged with 78 percent supporting Israel.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/dems-favor-palestinians-over-israelis-for-first-time-poll-shows\/\">According to a poll, Dems favor Palestinians over Israelis for the first time.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poll comes as progressive lawmakers have worked to shift the Democratic Party\u2019s support away from Israel Original &#8220;Squad\u201d members Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.)
