Gavin Newsom just confirmed the demise of the Democratic party’s support for Israel
American Jewish voters, who overwhelmingly trend liberal, are about to face some difficult choice
Most American Jews stacked their liberalism on top of their patriotism on top of their Zionism. They overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic Party, and overwhelmingly supported both Israel and the United States-Israel alliance.
In recent years, however, many have found it increasingly difficult to deny is that support for Israel is, at present, hard to square with liberalism. And a statement this week by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the probable 2028 Democratic candidate for president, made clear exactly how profoundly that shift has changed the Democratic party.
And the future of American Jews and the Democratic Party is now not only up to Democratic politicians who decide how much to give Israel and under what conditions. It is also up to American Jews, who have to decide whether those politicians, in doing so, are moving away from their values or bringing them back into alignment.
