“‘The idea of accusing progressive Democrats of being anti-Israel and antisemitic has been proven to be an incredibly powerful weapon, not just for Republicans to use against Democrats, but to throw in and let Democrats use against other Democrats,’ said Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace. ‘Until the Democratic party is willing to make space to legitimise a spectrum of views on Zionism and Israel, then this is always going to be a sharp-edged weapon that Republicans just throw onto the other side of the aisle and let Democrats attack each other with it.'”

“”Immediately after this current government came into took office, we started to hear language about the US-Israel relationship being stronger than one government or the policies of one government. And I think that’s something this administration and Democrats in Congress are leaning into hard,” Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, told MEE… ‘This [visit] is about bear hugging Israel, the idea of the nation, the people, the relationship,’ said Friedman. ‘The relationship is bigger than any of these policies. US unconditional, unshakable support for Israel’s security is bigger than any [judicial] reform.'”
