Left and Right Finally Agree on Israel Lobby Power. Why Can’t They Link Arms?
The Republican Party is fracturing in ways we haven’t seen before. Lifelong Trump supporters are walking away as Trump and the GOP back new wars and keep making policy decisions with Israel’s interests at the top of the page. Dissident voices on the right have shown that they are not pledged to MAGA, Trump, or any party, and they stand for principles, not team jerseys.
At the same time, some voices on the Democratic side are finally saying out loud what used to be taboo: AIPAC and Israel wield massive influence over American politics.
So if both left and right are starting to question the same lobby and the same foreign entanglements, why can’t they meet in the middle on this one issue? Have Democrats and progressives become so locked into identitarian politics that they can’t link arms with anyone outside their tribe, even when they agree?
Where does it leave the independent voter who rejects endless war, opposes foreign control over U.S. policy, and no longer feels at home in either party?
