What's this?

Even under Biden? Biden has a very long history of ardent support for

Israel. It isn’t Joe Biden’s or Donald Trump’s generation showing such precipitous declines in that support. There’s no risk of a collapse in support for Israel over the next 4 yrs. Or 8. Probably not for another 12 or so years.

It’s when attitudes on display on campuses now rise to leadership positions when that risk may show itself. Obviously depending on many factors between now and then. That’s the potential inflection we’re seeing.
