With polls showing anti-Israel protesters have failed to persuade the American public, they are now switching tactics to focus their fire on one target they think they can influence: the Democrat Party.
Despite their best efforts, the vast majority of Americans do not think any less of Israel. In January, 80 per cent of respondents to a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll supported Israel, down just 1 per cent from the previous month.
The respected survey also found that 67 per cent back Israel’s war aims and say there should only be a ceasefire if all the hostages are released and Hamas is removed from power.
Where once protesters brought parts of cities like New York to a standstill, they now struggle to muster enough to shut off a sidewalk. Perhaps it’s the cold weather or perhaps a dawning realisation of a pointless cause. In London, January saw protests of 200,000.
