Yeah IMO the last 2 years (and especially 5 hours) have pretty much permanently shattered Israel's privileged child status in the US. Their actions in Gaza have fractured leftwing support, and dragging the US into this war have fractured rightwing support.

Hope they're building other friendships in the region, I don't see the unquestioning US patronage lasting much longer.

Would be nice if that were the reality, but it couldn't be further from it. US support for Israeli is stronger than it ever has been.

It definitely is not. The gulf in support between US politicians and the US public is wider than it ever has been. That's not sustainable in the long run (it is probably a notable factor already in the loss of the Dems' presidential candidate [among many others, of course])

Among the political class, which is the only group that matters now that senators don't really answer to voters any more

Chuck Schumer still supports killing and maiming toddlers though.
