NextImg:The Corner: Democrats Now Prefer Cuba to Israel, Gallup Finds

The anti-Israel left has gained so much ground that Cuba now rates higher among Democrats than the Jewish state.

Just 33 percent of Democrats said that they had a “very” or “mostly” favorable view of Israel, according to Gallup, which compares to 55 percent who said the same about the repressive communist dictatorship of Cuba. Also, 45 percent of Democrats said they had favorable views of the “Palestinian Territories.”

In contrast, 83 percent of Republicans shared a favorable view of Israel.

While Democrats and Republicans once shared similar levels of admiration for Israel, that gap has widened considerably over time.

Following the October 7 attacks, Republicans rallied around Israel and sustained their high levels of support for the nation’s campaign against Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, while Democratic support for Israel cratered.

Though it’s good news for Israel that President Trump is currently in office, the numbers should be of longer-term concern. For decades, the perception of bipartisan support for Israel has maintained the alliance no matter who has been in power.

But as older Democrats retreat from public life and die off, they are getting replaced by younger, anti-Israel Democrats. That creates the possibility of a deep rupture in relations during the next Democratic administration.
