Morris Levy argues that Israel has not lost American support, even among Democrats, despite widespread skepticism following Yair Lapid's recent declaration. Levy acknowledges concerns about anti-Israel rhetoric and anti-Zionist Democrats, but presents data showing that in the next Congress, only one Senator (Abdul El-Sayed) and four House members are professed anti-Zionists—less than 1% of the House. He notes that about 40 House members have accused Israel of genocide, but calls this a 'dubiously expansive definition.' Levy suggests that many Democrats who have criticized Israel or distanced themselves from AIPAC still reject fringe anti-Zionist stances, citing Nancy Pelosi's recent remarks. He concludes that a change in Israeli government, excluding right-wing extremists, could improve the bilateral relationship.
