Is the Democratic Party in the US becoming anti-Israel?
The 'Ad HaKatz' podcast examines the dramatic shift in the American left toward Israel. Keren Neubach and Moav Vardi analyze how criticism of Israel has become a political asset, tracing the roots of the progressive movement from the 2008 financial crisis to the role of AIPAC.
The 'Ad HaKatz' current affairs podcast of Kan 11, hosted by Keren Neubach with foreign news editor Moav Vardi, examines the dramatic shift in the American left's attitude toward Israel. In the past, it was almost unimaginable for a Democratic candidate to run a campaign against Israel, but today harsh criticism of Israel has become a political asset that brings in votes. The episode delves into the roots of the progressive movement, from the 2008 financial crisis and the anti-establishment sentiment that grew from it, through the war in Gaza, to the role of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC in elections. The episode asks whether the Democratic Party is lost from Israel's perspective, or whether this is a process that can be stopped.
