The Democratic Party is turning against Israel.

Increasingly, Democrats running for office, kowtowing to their base, disavow any allegiance to our long-time ally in the Middle East. A recent New York Times survey found 74% of Democratic voters opposed "providing additional economic and military support to Israel," with the number even higher among young people.

Someone needs to ask the anti-Israel crowd: who are you for?

Are they for Hamas, the terror group in Gaza that outlaws homosexuality, steals aid meant for their countrymen and provoked the current war with the Jewish state by slaughtering 1,200 innocents on October 7, 2023?

Or are anti-Israel Democrats aligning with Iran, which is guilty of mowing down tens of thousands of peaceful protesters in cold blood? A repressive regime that routinely calls for "Death to America" — Israel is at war with Iran, because Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen wage constant attacks on their men, women and children.

Democrats are, in effect, supporting terrorists. It is a binary choice. You are either backing Israel or you are backing those organizations fighting on behalf of Iran.

It is time to make Democrats openly avow that alliance.
