Israel divide grows in Democratic Party after New York primaries
Israel policy fights and antisemitism accusations are widening inside the Democratic Party as primaries test how far voters will go, analysts said.
- California state senator Scott Wiener faced harassment from protesters at a San Francisco Pride Shabbat service on Friday, with demonstrators screaming, "We fucking hate you," over his stance on Israel.
- John Podhoretz of Commentary argues that DSA-style antisemitism has permeated the Democratic Party for decades, claiming leaders tolerated and emboldened this trend rather than confronting it.
- In the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, candidate Abdul El-Sayed has faced criticism for his stance on Hamas and Israel, telling CNN, "It's not how evil is this one versus that one."
- Wiener and El-Sayed encounter intense pressure to conform on Israel, with refusing to align risking ostracization from communities they have long called home regardless of other identity or advocacy.
- On Tuesday, two states host Democratic primaries that will reveal whether this anti-establishment sentiment holds national appeal, testing if the party's internal friction is localized or signals a broader shift.
