Here are the metrics doctors want you to pay attention to<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWithout question, the alliance is at a crossroads. It cannot stand or survive as it has been,\u201d he said. \u201cTo maintain the strength of our ties, we need significant changes and a new direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The problem, per Emanuel, is that Israel under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become \u201ca modern-day Sparta\u201d \u2014 a militarist, expansionist state that sees no alternative to crushing Palestinians under its foot. Such a country does not deserve the \u201cunconditional support\u201d Emanuel believes it has gotten from the US, which is the geopolitical equivalent of giving vodka to an alcoholic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cUnconditional support has allowed you to deny food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians in Gaza, leaving the world to conclude that Israelis not only want to kill Palestinians, but they are completely indifferent to their death, to their destruction, and completely indifferent to their suffering,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Instead, he said, the United States needs to push Israel to be a better version of itself. This means sanctioning Israeli political and business leaders who enable terrorism against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, ending US military aid to Israel, and launching a new framework for peace negotiations with the Palestinians built around support from other Arab countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>No one thinks this speech will change American policy. Rahm Emanuel very much does not speak for President Donald Trump. Rather, the speech should be understood in the context of intra-Democratic politics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>While both Barack Obama and Joe Biden clashed with Netanyahu at various points, both attempted to keep those disagreements mostly private and their public steps to punish Israeli misbehavior relatively muted. Even as multiple administrations called for a Palestinian state and opposed new settlements in the West Bank, sanctioning Israeli leaders and cutting off military aid were completely off the table \u2014 the sort of thing that only a left figure like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) would even dare suggest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Emanuel is not Sanders. In his memoir <em>The World as It Is<\/em>, Obama adviser Ben Rhodes recalls Emanuel repeatedly mocking his concerns for Palestinians in internal administration discussions \u2014 giving Rhodes the nickname \u201cHamas\u201d and accusing the advisor of making \u201cit impossible for my kid to have his fucking bar mitzvah in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>That a Jewish Democrat like Emanuel is now comfortable with once-marginalized rhetoric and policies is a marker that the old pro-Israel consensus is well and truly dead among Democrats. What\u2019s coming in 2028 and beyond is going to be very different \u2014 and much tougher for Israel \u2014 than what came before it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI think [Rahm\u2019s position] becomes the baseline of Democratic primary candidates,\u201d Ilan Goldenberg, the chief policy officer at the liberal J Street lobby, said. \u201cYou can\u2019t go to the right of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>The new center on Israel is the old left<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For pretty much all of 2026, Rahm Emanuel has been positioning himself to capture the centrist lane in the Democratic primary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In interview after interview, he has argued that the party has become unduly influenced by left-wing activists who are obsessed with unpopular trans issues, defunding the police, and abolishing capitalism. Instead, he argues, the party should refocus on \u201cmiddle class values\u201d and \u201cpocketbook issues\u201d \u2014 meaning deprioritization of social issues, stronger border enforcement, and welfare state expansion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In the past, this type of centrist candidate would almost invariably be taking a lockstep pro-Israel stance: unconditional military aid and diplomatic support. Democratic presidents, House speakers, and Senate majority leaders used to be regular attendees at AIPAC\u2019s annual conference \u2014 signalling their alignment with the pro-Israel lobby\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This old approach reflected public opinion. Most Americans were broadly supportive of the US-Israel alliance, and had been for decades. The basic centrist impulse \u2014 that politics should be about winning the median voter \u2014 militated in Israel\u2019s favor, leading both Obama and Biden to keep their frustrations with Netanyahu and clashes with him over policy as private as possible while in office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But the outcome of the Gaza war has changed everything. In February, Gallup\u2019s annual survey found that more Americans sympathized with Palestinians for the first time in the poll\u2019s history. A brand-new Pew survey found that 62 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Israeli government. This new American hostility is overwhelmingly driven by Democrats, with just 16 percent of Democrats expressing a favorable view of the Israeli government in Pew\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This has been brewing for years. Netanyahu\u2019s involvement in American politics \u2014 including his 2015 effort to sabotage Obama\u2019s nuclear deal with Iran \u2014 has long been driving down Israel\u2019s numbers. But it was the Gaza war that finally pushed Democratic voters to snap, with a July AP poll finding that a majority of Democrats now believe Israel committed genocide during the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanlivingreport.com\/?p=662\">What that wobbling New York office tower reveals about America\u2019s housing crisis<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Today, anger at Israel is a potent voting issue. Left-wing candidates, including Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Graham Platner in Maine, have used the issue to burnish their anti-establishment identity and rocket to the top of hotly contested primaries. Mainstream Democratic candidates are using the word genocide to describe what happened in Gaza. AIPAC is frequently denounced as an enemy, if not outright evil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This is where Emanuel\u2019s speech is coming from. A consummate centrist, he has decided that what used to be the far-left position among Democrats \u2014 that America should use its leverage to try and push Israel to change for the better \u2014 is the center. It\u2019s the latest sign that the old pro-Israel consensus within the party is dying, and something new is emerging to replace it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>The new Democratic debate on Israel<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>So if the Democratic debate on Israel has changed fundamentally \u2014 if the old consensus is well-and-truly dead \u2014 what does the future look like?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Goldenberg is a helpful guide here. J Street, his organization, has long occupied the ground Emanuel is now attempting to claim. Indeed, J Street hosted Emanuel on their podcast in March, and his speech is very clearly influenced by their ideas. His proposal for reviving the peace process \u2014 a \u201c23 state solution\u201d in which Israel works with Arab governments to bring about a Palestinian state as part of a regional settlement \u2014 is directly taken from J Street literature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Goldenberg liked the speech, telling me he agreed with \u201c80-90 percent\u201d of what Emanuel said. His critiques were less with its policy vision and more with some specifics: Emanuel offered a view of the peace negotiations of the 90s and 2000s that put nearly all the blame for their failure on the Palestinian side, which Goldberg thought was unfairly one-sided. This reflected, in his words, an \u201cIsrael-centric\u201d worldview that took the perspective and needs of the Palestinian side less seriously than he\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But the fact that the disagreements between Emanuel and Goldenberg are this narrow reflects just how far the Democratic center has moved. When they were founded in 2008, J Street\u2019s views represented the left fringe of the Democratic coalition. Now, one of the party\u2019s consummate insiders is literally lifting its talking points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Matt Duss is perhaps the leading left-wing policy wonk on Israel-Palestine, having advised both Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the topic. He tells me that he found real things to like in the Emanuel speech \u2014 in particular, that it marked a decisive break with the lockstep pro-Israel past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But he was more exercised about its discussion of the conflict\u2019s history than Goldenberg was. \u201cTo call this a tendentious presentation of history would be to give it too much praise,\u201d Duss wrote in the Nation. In general, he thinks, the speech simply didn\u2019t go far enough, describing it as a \u201clandmark,\u201d but one \u201cwe should\u2019ve passed long ago and should quickly leave in the rear view mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This is the future of the Democratic party conversation on Israel. Gone are the arguments over whether the US should put pressure on Israel to change; the questions now are what kind of pressure, how much of it should be applied, and what the ultimate end goal of said pressure should be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Emanuel\u2019s view will hardly be the only one. Just as J Street has moved from the left to the center of the party, the growing discontent with Israel has also elevated competing groups and ideas into the conversation that were almost invisible in the halls of power until recently, like the rising slate of DSA-aligned candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>One can imagine a spectrum of views here. The J Street side wants to preserve both Israel\u2019s existence and its strong relationship with the US, conditional on Israel ending its occupation of Palestinian land. There\u2019s a more left position, that the US no longer has any interest in being an ally of a country like Israel. And there\u2019s a lefter-still position, in which US policy should actively aim towards a one-state binational solution that dissolves Israel\u2019s identity as a Jewish state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The boundaries between these positions are not always clear in policy terms, and they can blur together at the edges. It\u2019s hard to know exactly what the balance of forces will be in the 2028 election, let alone beyond it. A lot will depend on Israel\u2019s own election, scheduled for this fall, in which lightning rod Netanyahu might finally lose power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But the forces behind this change run deeper than one prime minister. Through its occupation of the West Bank, wanton violence in Gaza, and direct partisan interference on behalf of Republican priorities, Israel\u2019s leadership has fundamentally broken its relationship with the Democratic party. That\u2019s not something that\u2019s fixable without a fundamental transformation of Israeli policy \u2014 one that doesn\u2019t seem especially likely in the short term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>There is, thus, every reason to believe that the Emanuel speech is, as Duss said, a \u201clandmark\u201d \u2014 another all-but-formal codification of the reorientation of the Democratic party.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanlivingreport.com\/?p=660\">How to tell your neighbor they\u2019re annoying you<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve lost Rahm Emanuel,\u201d Goldenberg said, \u201cyou\u2019re kind of toast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span>See More<!-- -->:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Politics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rahm Emanuel and the death of the pro-Israel Democrat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
