Democrats could be split for a 'generation' as left tears 'itself apart over Israel'
'We have a serious problem in our party right now,' said Maryland congressional candidate Joe Voge



The Democratic Party is divided over pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian factions in a major split that may tear the party apart for a "generation," according to a recent Wall Street Journal report.


Some of the biggest names in progressive and leftist politics are expressing concerns that the Democratic Party is no longer unified as politicians and commentators continue to battle it out in the public square over Israel. The article, headlined "The Left Is Tearing Itself Apart Over Israel," was published on Tuesday.


Others were disappointed that the Democratic Party was not doing enough for pro-Palestinian factions.





Shahid also pointed to flagging poll numbers for President Biden among "young and minority voters," according to the story. A recent Gallup poll found that Biden's "job approval rating among Democrats has tumbled 11 percentage points in the past month to 75%, the worst reading of his presidency from his own party. This drop has pushed his overall approval rating down four points to 37%, matching his personal low."
