Israel’s advocates fear that its conduct of the war has cost it the support of an entire generation of U.S. voters.
By David M. Halbfinger Oct. 12, 2025
The war in Gaza may finally be ending, after two years of bloodshed and destruction. But among the damage that has been done is a series of devastating blows to Israel’s relationship with the citizens of its most important and most stalwart ally, the United States.
Israel’s reputation in the United States is in tatters, and not only on college campuses or among progressives. For the first time since it began asking Americans about their sympathies in 1998, a New York Times poll last month found that slightly more voters sided with the Palestinians than with Israelis.

I know genocide when I see it, so no, there’s no forgiving that.
Also, the war isn’t over.
Won’t be over while one Zionist breathes breathes.
American Jew here. Is it technically possible? Yes, most things are technically possible. Can they? I doubt it. The Israeli government has shown they don’t have the capability of seeing Palestinians as humans, so that indicates to me they don’t have the capability to get me to forgive them.
When Palestinians have the right of return, and can go to their family homes and kick the settlers out then we can have a talk about some country formerly known as Israel having made the correct decision to dissolve itself and become something shared with the actual people of that land.
A single state with equal rights for all. A land with Palestinians living where their parents and grandparents were literally born. Maybe it could be called the Freelands.
Why are we acting like Americans are the good guys and victims? They’re the biggest terrorist nation on earth and the masters of genocide. As an indigenous person, forget Americans, they will only look down on you. America is trash
biggest
Nuh uh! Russia is bigger by land area, and India has a bigger population! We only win by amount of terrorism or terrorism per capita!¹ maybe dont do slander?
¹most terrorist nation or most densely terrorist nation are much more accurate titles
Maybe a decade after all of Israel’s war criminals have been hanged in the Hague & my country stops giving them $4 billion in aid every single year so Israeli citizens can have free health care & college.
The nakba has been ongoing and escalating for 77 years. So if proportionate reparations are made for as many years as the nakba goes on, maybe.
So what I’m hearing is ‘probably not for this generation’?
