Israel's Shifting Support Base

Shereen Salah
About this episode

This episode is primarily focusing on the diverging views of Jewish communities in the US and UK. It presents survey data revealing that while many US and UK Jews maintain emotional ties to Israel, their opinions on Israeli government actions and policies are significantly more critical than those of right-wing voters and politicians. The author argues that Israel's support base has shifted towards right-wing groups, particularly evangelical Christians, reducing its reliance on support from diaspora Jewish communities. This shift is presented as a consequence of the increasingly partisan nature of the Israel-Palestine conflict in the US, where Democrats are portrayed as increasingly sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, while Republicans strongly support Israel.
