And so I think this is going to become a a a bigger and bigger issue actually in democratic politics.
voice-verified
It's not it's not going to disappear in the rear view window.
voice-verified
That's probably still the majority view, Justin.
voice-verified
But I don't underestimate the way in which Americans' view towards Israel have changed quite dramatically in the last couple of years.
voice-verified
And if you look at polling, you'll see that for the first time, a majority of Americans, about sixty percent, don't think that the US should automatically support Israel in whatever it does.
voice-verified
If you ask if they have a more favorable view of the Israelis or the Palestinians, you'll see for the first time, um, since uh polling was asking this question.
voice-verified
Question in the last sort of twenty five years or so, you see a majority saying that they've got more sympathy towards the Palestinians.
voice-verified
There's been quite a significant shift in public opinion, actually, and that kind of knee jerk support that there used to be on the left and the right for Israel in America.
voice-verified
It's changing quite significantly.
voice-verified
But Abdul Al Said, as you say, Justin, has to clarify his position of exactly where he stands.
voice-verified
And he was asked about American support for Israel.
voice-verified
Israel in an interview he did with CNN with Caitlin Collins just after he won the primary this week.
voice-verified
I think what was really interesting listening to him also there though was as he's talking about not wanting to provide unconditional military aid for any country, uh and that's sparked obviously by the money that the US gives to Israel, you do get echoes of No More Forever Wars and the kind of America first policy talking about not wanting to get embroiled in other people's conflicts around the world, wanting to save the money and attention.
voice-verified
to deal with the domestic situation, to put um your funding into education and health care rather than sending it to foreign governments.
voice-verified
And I think that is one way in which actually it's really interesting to watch the left and the right coming together on something that wasn't being talked about much ten years ago or so, but is it is actually becoming a a more prevalent idea in American politics.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And and Mike, earlier we were talking about how that does tend to suggest that this idea that the Democrats need to get behind a more populist economic message and that that's the way to counter Trumpism rather than with um traditional centrist politics is is defied by the demographics of how um the votes fell in Michigan for El Said.
voice-verified
But what you were saying earlier, I know you know that you were characterizing um Al Said in the way that Republicans will, because it's not true.
voice-verified
That he wants to seize the means of production, defund the police, or blow up Israel.
voice-verified
But that's what Republicans will say about him.
