After nearly two years of genocide in Gaza, the Democratic Party’s once-unshakable support for Israel is beginning to fracture. The party’s voters are loudly signaling that criticism of Israel is not only acceptable but needed—a shift seen most prominently in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory in New York.Unfortunately, the Democratic elite—which has played a crucial role in enabling and perpetuating the slaughter in Gaza—is still clinging to the status quo.

Amid the luxurious habitat of the jet set, even the most tactful and diplomatic campaigner is tempted to let their guard down and make politically damaging statements.
