    That Tim Walz’s and AOC’s support for Israel is the single-issue that’s stopping Democrats - or at the very least Walz/AOC - from winning elections?

    I mean, it’s a significant swing factor. It’s clearly not the only factor, but you have entire communities in the US not voting for candidates because of their stances on Israel. You would think this past election would be a glaringly obvious example, but I guess not.

    Gallop polls suggest it’s a significant issue or voters;

    Democrats’ sympathies for the Israelis dipped to 38%, while the reading for Palestinians jumped 11 points to 49% […]

    About 50% of them. To imply that they’re not losing elections because of the support of Israel is supremely ignorant and stupid.
