In what even the legacy media is calling a “seismic shift,” some 100 Democrats in Congress voted to abandon the primary U.S. ally in the Middle East, Israel.
The move, however, failed, as the votes to cut off U.S. aid fell short.
Fetterman Draws a Line: Anti-Israel Shift Could Push Him Out of Democrats
Sen. John Fetterman says he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party — but he set a clear boundary.

Democrats have drawn a reprehensible line in the sand when it comes to Israel.

🚨 Anti-Israel fanaticism is officially driving the Left’s policy in Congress.
Yesterday, more House Democrats voted to cut aid to Israel than to defend it.

A report at Politico said the polarization on the issue was now “cemented.”
It explained the vote was on an amendment to a State Department spending plan that would have eliminated $3.3 billion in funding.
Due to “strong Republican support for the Jewish state, it failed 314-104.”
The Democrat Party, which historically has supported Israel, fell to pieces.
The vote followed weeks, even months, of leftist campaigns that have taken increasingly negative perspectives on Israel, to the point some have openly advocated for Islam, which holds the goal of eliminating Israel.
“The scale of Democratic support for the amendment Wednesday was an acknowledgment of the grassroots fury that has reshaped the political landscape inside the party,” the report said.
The report noted only two years ago, there were only 37 House Democrats, of the hard-left ideology, who voted for a similar plan to cut aid.
Ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi supported the cut, claiming Americans “are rightly demanding an end to a perpetual cycle of war, and the Netanyahu government cannot maintain its current course.”
Republicans were almost unanimous in their support for Israel.
One Democrat who opposed the suggested cuts warned about what the vote reveals.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., said, “This is a seismic shift in supporting a key ally, and I think it’s a devastating shift. I think people are bowing to political pressure instead of actually looking at the facts on this.”
Reports blamed the shift against Israel on the democracy’s response to the 2023 terror attack by Hamas, whose members invaded Israel and slaughtered some 1,200 innocent civilians, often in horrific fashion.
One reported noted the division should be cause for alarm for Democrats, as it’s another division in the party already left fumbling without a strong leadership and no messaging beyond, “But Trump,” in the aftermath of the party’s catastrophic failure during the 2024 president race.
