More than 100 House Democrats on Wednesday voted to zero out all American aid to Israel — a stunning shift in the level of support that the Jewish state has on Capitol Hill. The amendment from a Republican, Congressman Thomas Massie, would have stripped all aid to Israel out of this year’s annual funding bill for the state department and foreign aid. In the years since the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel, Democratic voters have shifted sharply against Prime Minister Netanyahu and continued American support for his country. One poll from the New York Times and Siena College in May found that 68 percent of Democratic voters oppose sending aid to Israel, compared to just 24 percent who said they support economic and military assistance.
