Young Democrats go wobbly on Israel. @WJMcGurn
Image: The Palmach, Immigration to Israel Bill McGurn, WSJ editorial board & Main Street column; in re: The typical pro-Israel Democrat is getting older and more isolated in the Party. The Squad, Rep Omar, and the like, are all [heading a different direction]. Bernie Sanders is feverishly anti-Israel. He lived on a kibbutz as a youth, when then-recent Soviet expats were much in control of the country. As Israel has moved from kibbutzim to free and open health care, he seems to have moved toward Castro’s Cuba. He’s now at odds with the average Israeli’s concerns about security. In a crunch, would Joe Biden be any help at all to Israel? Biden keeps invoking Obama, who aggressively disdained Israel and Netanyahu. When asked, not one Dem candidate said s/he’d have been willing to order the demise of Soleimani —who had the blood of many Americans on his hands.
