Peloni: Israel’s interests have always been formed around seeking bipartisan support among America’ political elites. Yet, over the years, the weaponization of every aspect of politics, society and culture by the American Left’s obsession with maintaining power has led to support for Israel being very much weaponized within the American political discourse, so much so that now even funding for Israeli defensive tools such as Iron Dome have become intolerable by the ever increasingly radical Left who hold increasingly greater control within the Democratic Party.
