[It's disgusting how feeble and late this is, but it is an indication of how popular sentiment continues to shift against Israel. 👍 ]

In recent days, a majority of Democratic senators voted for a resolution to bar the sale of assault rifles to Israeli police, a marked change in the party since the start of the military conflict. Their unprecedented rebuke comes as polling shows slipping support for Israel among Democratic voters, signaling the prolonged war has potentially caused permanent damage to the country’s relationship with the Democratic Party.

I don't think that's really what's happening here , yes every person with a sliver of humanity will not want to have anything to do with Israel and it's supporters, ever. But the reason these "moderates" are saying stuff like this is because they know the last stages of ethnic cleansing are being rolled out and they are preparing the field so they can say "I didn't like it you see, but it's done now we have to move on". These people have 0 remorse and this is nothing more than a cynical ploy to further assist Israel in it's genocide. These people need to be removed from society if we ever want to create a better world.

Also IIRC politico has been deepthroating Israel since day 1, which is more confirmation that this "moderate shift" is nothing more then a tactic to advance the genocide.
