A new poll for Data for Progress that surveyed Americans ages 18 to 29 who are likely to vote in the upcoming presidential election found the majority of young Republicans favor cutting off US military aid to Israel.
According to the poll, 52% of young Republicans favor an arms embargo on Israel, while 36% oppose the idea, and 17% said they were unsure. The results signal that Israel is in trouble when it comes to long-term support from the US since Republicans are the more pro-Israel party.
The poll also found that 62% of young Democrats were in favor of ending weapons shipments to Israel, while 21% opposed, and 17% said they were unsure.
Factoring in independent and third-party voters, the poll found that 55% of all likely voters ages 18 to 29 support a US arms embargo on Israel, while 29% oppose the idea and 16% are undecided.
The poll focused on how young Americans plan to vote this November, and the majority favored Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump. Both candidates have vowed to continue arming Israel, which enables the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Previous Data for Progress polls have found that the majority of Americans favor a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The Biden administration has claimed it seeks a temporary truce but hasn’t put any real pressure on Israel to agree to one since the weapons shipments have continued to flow.
If only TPTB cared what the public wants or supports.
Touché!
Likud needs to sue for peace asap.
They will be labeled as MAGA or far-right Republicans as this article implied about Masseie :
"MAGA Republican Takes Shocking Stand on U.S. Arms Sales to Israel"
Massie, a far-right Republican, has been outspoken against America’s unwavering support of Israel’s unchecked military activity in the Middle East, challenging the notion that opposing to pro-Israel policies is a position held solely by those on the far left.

This is a major reason Israel is trying to create as many facts on the ground while the USA is still a pliable ally.
Just watch—in 10 years Israel (if it still exists) will be applying to BRICS when the USA is no longer useful.
LOL What a silly prediction.
And will these young GOP members vote for Trump? Yea, they will. Will Trump put an arm embargo on Israel? Nope.
Cynical Tim but not an absolute possibility…
You have no idea what Trump will do in his final term as President except that he will always put American interests first.
How dismal that not even 2/3 of young Democrats want to stop actively arming a genocide. I guess "liberal" means asking someone's pronouns and doing Wordle. Expensive genocide as a central organizing pillar of society? No problem!
Crazy Keith Olbermann thinks Trump is going to send him to Treblinka: https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1849867288872456262?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
They won't get it from Trump.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like way more Republicans are advocating for an end to the Ukraine conflict and the Israeli slaughter than are Democrats. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. There are people, including too many children, dying by the hundreds, for God's sake! It's time to stop sitting idly by, watching the daily body-count increase. Get on your version of a 'Horn" and start letting your representatives know you support putting an end to this insanity. Write to the White House. If enough people flood their server, they'll have to listen to what you're thinking. It doesn't matter how you say it…just say it! Use the congressional website: congress.gov. you can find all the info you need right there.
"So today, it’s no wonder that the anti-war left has disappeared: The left is firmly wedded to the military-intelligence apparatus, so much so that it has trained that apparatus on its critics at home."

so-called "left" or "progressives" today have totally lost the plot. they aren't anti-war at all. and they aren't even pro-working class. all they care about is hyper-racialized narratives, rainbows, and pronouns. They are tools for oligarchy. There ain't no Henry Wallaces out there any more, sorry. the only ones who care about working classes and anti-war are the old school paleo conservatives, who worry about economic concentration ruining our economy, and don't like im[perialistic foreign policy. At least that's how I see things.
See my reply to Tom B.
Have you completely forgotten the pro-Palestinian protests across America (and Canadian campuses) last year? Are you familiar with The Young Turks and The Majority Report? You've not heard of what's going on in Michigan? This is why there's no common antiwar cause: you can't break bread with the other side. You pretend it's not even there.
Because that's what the professors and the cool kids want. Because when the campus is closed down by protests, classes get cancelled. Party time.

If Trump or Harris came out with a commitment to stop the killing everywhere they would win with a landslide. Jewish lobby is only useful for funds after that they are a liability.
This shows hope that the next generation will get it right
