U.S. and global politics surrounding Israel are shifting rapidly as the world recoils in horror at Israel's starvation of Gaza. Here are several lessons the left should take note of.
We've never lived through such rapid change in the politics of Israel as we are now. Two nights ago more than half of Democratic senators - 27- voted to block some arms sales to Israel. A day before that, the UK and Canada said they will recognize a Palestinian state at the U.N, echoing France's recent statement.
These are steps that advocates for Palestinians thought might be years away. But today the world is shocked by Israel's starvation of Gaza, and the mainstream press is at last reporting the charge of genocide.
Israel's international isolation has begun.
