government runs. he has the majority inside the knesset to pass what he wants to pass if he keeps them together, in theory, if he wants to have these people on the streets, he can push this through. just think most of the people in the streets aren t worried about the indictments against benjamin netanyahu. they re worried about their everyday liberties living in the jewish state of israel. so i think that is the focus of why they re in the streets, and i think the schism becomes the people who come from yesteryear that people all who are looking forward. what will the jewish state of visual stand for moving forward? i think that s a conversation that s happening every day. and don t think that the rockets being fired by the iranians don t give benjamin netanyahu the leverage. he needs to remind people about those founding ethos of that nation on an entirely different note. now to this the song rainbow land by dolly parton and miley cyrus sounds warm and fuzzy. i was like, wow. but you
38% israelis. 13% neither, both or no opinion. that s an 11-point increase in sympathy for palestinians in the last year. moving to support palestinians for democrats. as a supporter of israel, as a jewish american, as a democrat what do you think? i think gallup s asking the wrong question. i think where most democrats are, certainly where i am, is that of course we believe in the existence of a democratic jewish state of israel. i also believe in a sovereign palestinian state. i think any solution that works needs to make sure that it honors both israel and palestine. i value a lasting and enduring peaceful co-existence in the area. i think the two-state solution is the best one we have. so i think gallup needs to update their question and talk about a solution that works for everybody. all right. but that is their he question. that s an interesting answer. but that is their question. and i m wondering why you think it is that when asked which group are your sympathies with democ

that s what we re talking about here. israel doesn t have absolute power over anything, even its own electorate, for goodness sakes. but this plays into these longstanding tropes, jake, that have led to jewish people being harassed, suffering from violence, and literally being killed. so it s not something we can take lightly, especially when it s coming from a former commander in chief. it s really quite distauurbdist. trump claimed evangelical christians love israel more than jewish americans. obviously a lot of evangelical christians are supportive of israel. there s a theological reason behind that. what is he talking about? it s true there are many people of the christian faith, evangelicals, catholics, other denominations within protestantism of the church of latter day saints that feel very strongly about the jewish state of israel. that could be for biblical or political reasons but to say
