I know, that’s the part where I said the Democrats congressmembers were slow and had been funneled money from Israel for their campaigns. When they were elected into office support for Israel was over 50% in the U.S. in 2023 it was still over 50% so it was borderline rediculous. In 2025, support for Israel is only over 50% by one of those 2 parties. As for the other guy saying I’m moving goal posts… The post is about Israel having nukes and the media not mentioning them while discussing war with Iran, so I didn’t find it off topic to say this was about Israel possibly using nukes on Iran, but oh well. We’ll just have differing opinions.
Okay, so support (not even support, just sympathy) according to that chart for Palestinians didn’t pass 50% until 2024. The aid you are referring too started in 2023. So mid 2024 I would have expected to see about 50% democrats saying yes, 50% saying no. If less than 50% of Democrat Congressmembers voted against sending aid to Israel, then I would consider them slow on being up to date with their constituents wants.
The issue is if 100% Republicans vote aid, and 50% Democrats vote aid, you have a supermajority (~75%) still voting for aid to Israel.
Right now I imagine we would see it tottering on a supermajority, around 66-67 percent, but that’s just hypothetical as there isnt a vote at the moment.
Edit: the only thing close we may see is the bill Tim Kaine just put forward to block U.S. support to Israel pertaining to sending strikes at Iran ourselves, which is obviously different, and hopefully will split some of the Republicans votes. That said, Trump can veto just like he did when Kaine tried to block Trump from sending strikes at Iran in 2020

Hope you have a good day
They weren’t slow, though; they were very swift in supporting Israel.
