NYT today:

American Jews, long Israel’s strongest domestic backers, have turned sharply critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government over the Gaza conflict. A majority believe Israel has committed war crimes as it has killed tens of thousands of civilians and restricted food aid, and four in 10 believe it is guilty of genocide, a new Washington Post survey found — a charge Israel denies. The shift has created new incentives for even moderate Democrats in Congress to get tough on Israel, including by curtailing U. S. military aid.

The damage is also increasingly bipartisan. Despite Republican efforts to identify their party with Israel and to tag Democrats as providing aid and comfort to its enemies, younger evangelical Christians are breaking with their parents on the issue, seeing Israel as an oppressor rather than as a victim. And the breakup extends beyond evangelicals. "Everybody under 30 is against Israel,” the conservative commentator Megyn Kelly offhandedly told Tucker Carlson on his podcast last month.

The question is whether those younger Americans will be lost to Israel long-term — and what Israel’s advocates will do to try to reverse that. Israel’s dependence on U. S. support had become so glaring over the course of the war — in political, military and economic terms — that Israel would be motivated to treat its possible defeat in the court of American public opinion as an “existential threat.”

"Israel has no reason to stop the IDF created genocide. NONE. Their reputation is global trash. It will stay global trash and they know it. The world is distracted by the Trump irreality show and Bibi is the savviest operator of our generation - never let a good crisis go to waste.

Israel only needs one partner, and one partner alone, the United States, and at a more granular level, the Trump-MAGA Party. Israel will sacrifice ALL others in this ever evolving parasitic & symbiotic relationship.

Bibi / Likud's (there is no difference) primary plan now, is fourfold:

1) Continue to deeply intermingle Israel and America - so much so that you don’t know where one ends and the other begins.

2) Neuter the Knesset, the courts, the media, the arts & especially the secular electorate.

3) Fully scrap the Orthodox draft exemption under the guise of this 10/7 Hamas "extraordinary situation" while simultaneously avoiding responsibility for it's politically charged demise

4) Annex Gaza for development with Trump private companies in exchange for continued military, intelligence, diplomatic support."
