Despite deep partisan divides in Washington, a rare consensus affirms Israel's right to exist. Prominent political leaders across the aisle, including both Senate leaders and members of the Biden administration, have united in this stance. However, the article contends that a more pertinent question pertains to Israel's treatment of individuals under its control, suggesting that Israel fails to sufficiently protect their rights. By comparing Israel's situation to hypothetical scenarios in the UK, the piece challenges whether states should exist without the consent of those governed.
In 2023, the House affirmed Israel's right to exist by a vote of 412-1, which is a rare bipartisan consensus in today's politically polarized environment.
If America's leaders prioritized the lives of all those who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, the question would shift to whether Israel adequately protects the rights of individuals.
