>> Political scientist and former US diplomat Michael Montgomery thinks the tonal shift might in part be emotional -- with TV images of starving children resonating more profoundly than the aftermath of air strikes.

>> "Perhaps it is because no civilized people see starvation as a legitimate weapon of war," the University of Michigan-Dearborn professor told AFP.

>> Israel has always enjoyed broad bipartisan support in Congress but the rise of the isolationist MAGA movement under Trump has challenged the ideological foundations ...

>> Pro-Trump think tank The Heritage Foundation in March called on Washington to "re-orient its relationship with Israel" from a special relationship "to an equal strategic partnership."

>> Americans are increasingly skeptical of Israeli actions in Gaza, according to a new CNN #poll conducted by SSRS [July 10-13] that also finds rising sentiment that the US should pull back on military aid to Israel.

>> Only 23% of Americans say Israel’s actions have been fully justified, a 27-point drop from a October 2023 poll taken shortly after Hamas’ October 7 attacks... [see the table attached]

>> Younger adults across parties express the most skepticism towards Israel. Just 1 in 10 adults under 35 say that Israel’s military actions in Gaza have been fully justified ... Younger adults are also most likely to say that Israel has used too much military force (61%) and that the US is doing too much to help Israel in its war with Hamas (56%).
