Zionism has lost its place in U.S. society after the Gaza genocide, with liberal Zionists like Aaron David Miller and others having little influence on Democrats. Polls show that American people favor giving humanitarian aid to Gaza more than military aid to Israel, and the progressive base of the Democratic Party has started a political "firestorm" over U.S. support for genocide. The Zionist group J Street postponed its 2024 conference due to its own rank and file being enraged by Israel.
James Carville on MSNBC blamed Israel for the catastrophe in Gaza, stating that if Biden loses, it's Israel's fault. Brad Sherman, an Israel-loving Congress member from Los Angeles, defended his support for the massacres of Palestinians in Gaza, accusing them of seeking the genocide of Jews. This is the chief refuge for Democrats who excuse Israel's actions.
Liberal media is giving a platform to progressive critics, such as Mehdi Hasan on New York public radio, who denounced Hamas but pointed out the inevitable consequences of military occupation. Meanwhile, Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg withdrew from a speaking engagement at the University of Kentucky (UK) after students questioned his record as a former IDF prison guard and his views on Zionism.
The process of recognizing Zionism's loss in U.S. discourse is just beginning, with the view that Israel supporters promote bigotry against Palestinians still off-limits. Donald Johnson has written on the site that anti-Palestinian racism on the Israel side is never discussed, and that any group, including Jewish supporters of Israel, can be racist.
