A House vote makes it clear: Israel’s support among Democrats is starting to buckle

More than 100 Democrats voted to cut military aid to Israel as US public opinion shifts - Republicans are noticing too

Somewhere in the days before Wednesday's vote, Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, sat down and wrote his caucus a letter urging Democrats to reject an amendment that would strip security assistance to Israel. For most of his tenure as Democratic leader, that kind of internal whipping operation would have been unnecessary, because the outcome would have been assumed.

His own second-in-command voted the other way anyway.
