It's Not Us Who Changed, It's Them | Raz Zauber

Raz Zauber, former spokesman for the Consulate General of Israel in New York, argues that demographic and cultural changes in the United States are weakening traditional support for Israel. He describes observing people on the streets of New York and San Francisco, noting that America was built on an Anglo-Protestant tradition that provided theological justification for support for Israel, and that as this tradition loses its power, attitudes toward Israel are changing.

Raz Zauber, former spokesman for the Consulate General of Israel in New York, argues in an opinion piece that demographic and cultural changes in the United States are weakening traditional support for Israel. He describes observing the faces of people on the streets of New York and San Francisco, noting that he saw "a lot of faces, but almost no 'Americans'." According to him, America was built on an Anglo-Protestant tradition that provided theological justification for support for the Jewish people, and as this tradition loses its power, attitudes toward Israel are changing. He cites four examples of politicians of non-European descent who hold hostile positions toward Israel, and states that "the big loser from this process, at least from our perspective, is the State of Israel." The article uses the argument of demographic and cultural change as an explanation for political change, while dismissing the replacement theory as conspiratorial but confirming the existence of the change.
