Ummm...I've always thought of support for Israel coming primarily from the right. Of course, there is a powerful lobby in this country, and Dems are not immune to it. But it's mostly a Republican/evangelical thing.

[googling]

Yep. Thought so. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2022/07/11/amer...
Republicans and Democrats also diverge in their views of Israel, with a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (71%) saying they have a favorable view, compared with a minority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (44%). Views of Israel are particularly positive among conservative Republicans (75%) relative to more moderate or liberal Republicans (62%). Conservative and moderate Democrats (50%) are also more favorable toward Israel than liberal Democrats (36%).

I've thought for many years that we should have slapped them with sanctions for extending their territory illegally, and creating an apartheid state. I get that they have a tough situation, but I don't agree with how they're handling it. Especially building illegal settlements on what is supposed to be Palestinian lands.
