CNN interlocutors Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and Don Lemmon ignored foreign policy and US national security issues in a debate among Democratic presidential candidates on Tuesday, Reuters reported. July and Wednesday, July 31, 2019, and the word Israel is never mentioned for comment by the 20 Democratic candidates in competitive debates (or for six (6) hours of dialogue), the evidence points to a fundamental change towards Israeli occupation among the progressive base segments of the Democratic Party, especially Young ones.
Dissatisfaction with the progressive rule of the Democratic Party from the disregard of the traditional leadership of the party for the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, and the mistreatment of the Israeli occupation authorities for Palestinians suffering from the misery of the daily arbitrary oppression, is finding its way to the various media, whether cyber, print or even radio and television Of which.
Rising Star of Congress Democratic Progressive Representative from New York City Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, on Tuesday, in conversations with a radio popular among young Democrats "Debio.

Kurtz explained: "I think when we start looking at it through that lens, a lot of these things start to make sense. Young Jews in Israel are tired of this. The (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu administration is very similar to the administration. US President Donald Trump ... and the right (extremists) want to develop and promote the idea that if you participate in criticizing Israeli policy, you are anti-Semitic, but this is far from the truth ... in the same way that I criticize Trump. It makes me anti-American, and criticizing the occupation (Israeli) does not make you anti-Israel, frankly, e If it does not mean that you are against the existence of a nation, it means that you believe in human rights.

"There is this dialogue that has begun, and frankly developed from the political right, that if you participate in any criticism of Israel, it necessarily means that you are against the existence of the nation (Israel). We don´t talk about China like this, and we don´t even talk about the United States like this ... If you criticize any other country, they don´t say do you believe that Britain has a right to exist? So deep (for Israel) ... there is a reason to ask this question when it comes to Israel, because the Jews were subjected to Throughout the history of human persecution. "
"I don´t think that by marginalizing Palestinians and neglecting their rights, they create safety and security (for Israel). I think injustice is a threat to the safety of all people," Kurtz said.

As you know, social instability is what happens when people do not have the plan or feel that there is no vision for their future. "

“The wisdom of the public mood was that racial equality from the perspective of white liberals meant supporting Israel, and standing against the Palestinians, but this is now reflected: white progressives are more critical of Israel than ever before. What was once seen as a stubborn regional conflict between The only democracy in the region (Israel) and a series of authoritarian regimes surrounding it that are trying to destroy it, is now seen as a conflict between a white colonial power and the people it oppresses.

Israel and anti-Zionism, especially with the rapid growth of anti-Zionist organizations among the Aws I young Jews. "

The author links the change in white liberal attitudes toward Israel with the resemblance of repressive acts of violence between US police that kill unarmed blacks and what Israel is doing by killing unarmed Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
