Support for Israel in Modern Left Politics
Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. John Fetterman's support of Israel goes against the anti-Israel trend in the modern left, making them political outliers.
Key Points
- Kennedy and Fetterman's support for Israel contrasts with the anti-Israel views gaining popularity among Democrats.
- They have resisted progressive pressure to align with more pro-Palestinian sentiments.
- Their stance may be seen as a return to more mainstream liberal support for Israel within the Democratic Party.
Pros
- Kennedy and Fetterman's vocal support for Israel shows a departure from the anti-Israel sentiment within the modern left.
- Their stance may indicate a potential shift back towards more traditional support for Israel within the Democratic Party.
Cons
- Their pro-Israel stance may alienate them from the far-left wing of the party, which has been pushing for a ceasefire and criticizing Israel's actions.
