"Israel's killing of over 75,000 Palestinians, as well as its role in the Iran War, has led to a steep drop in popularity among Democratic voters, and increasingly among lawmakers as well."
"J Street has gained influence as its core ideas increasingly align with the center of the Democratic Party, and is now poised to play a major role in shaping the party's future posture toward Israel."
"During the course of this war, one of the issues that has made the critiques of what Israel is doing resonate so deeply in the U.S. is that the U.S. paid for a lot of the arms that Israel is using."
"We believe it's time to rapidly and responsibly phase out financial taxpayer subsidies."
Military support for Israel has traditionally been strong among Democrats and Republicans. However, the recent Gaza war and Israel's actions have led to a decline in support among Democratic voters and lawmakers. AIPAC's influence is waning, creating an opportunity for J Street, a liberal Zionist group, to gain traction. J Street's ideas align more closely with the Democratic Party's evolving stance on Israel. The end of a significant U.S.-Israel financial agreement prompts discussions on future relations and the need to reconsider taxpayer subsidies for Israel.
