Support for Israel is waning in the Democratic Party. The Times of Israel’s editor, David Horovitz, posted an important yesterday article showing that Israel is rapidly losing support among Democrats in the United States. Support for Israel among Republicans appears to be holding steady though. The polling was done by U.S. pollster, Frank Luntz.

According to Horovitz:

Three quarters of highly educated, high income, publicly active U.S. Democrats — the so-called “opinion elites” — believe Israel has too much influence on U.S. foreign policy, almost half of them consider Israel to be a racist country, and fewer than half of them believe that Israel wants peace with its neighbors.

Forty-seven percent of Democrats agreed with the characterization that Israel is a “racist” country, while only 13 percent of Republicans agreed. Luntz noted that Israel will soon no longer have bi-partisan support in the U.S. Furthermore, many Democrats are becoming ideologically aligned with the Palestinians.
