Let's hope that the US republican views on Israel are starting to shift and hopefully they will finally see sense. Hopefully, they will finally accept that what Israel is doing to Gaza is a genocide www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202... #Republicans #Politics #FreePalestine

The Republican consensus on Israel is starting to fracture
Christian Zionism made support for Israel a Republican cause. America First Republicans are challenging that consensus.
