As the Israeli aggression rages on in Gaza, the United States is seeing its own kind of war over US foreign policies and current President Joe Biden's capabilities for future presidency.

Biden's support for "Israel" is having lasting effects on his left-leaning voters and people of color with them reporting more dissatisfaction toward him than ever before, according to The New York Times.

Liberal Democrats are demanding that Biden break the pattern of support for "Israel" embedded in US policy and calling for a ceasefire. 

The issue of support for the occupation is a fundamental policy dispute according to the NYT, which makes it different from issues like the economy that could be remedied with communication. Biden is incapable of navigating Democrats' ideological and generational divides as he has in the past since this issue has no middle ground.  

Blacks and Hispanics, which were behind Biden's victory in 2020, may be the most critical of his support for "Israel" today since all 18 House members who signed an “immediate de-escalation and cease-fire" petition were people of color.

Polling has shown that US support for "Israel" is less favorable among voters under 35.

Biden's supporters changing perspectives amid US' Gaza war response

Palestinian-American comedian Maysoon Zayid was a big supporter of US President Joe Biden during his presidential campaign, even speaking on a call set up by the Biden campaign featuring Arab women and Biden's team even praised her endorsement in a press release.

Zayid now says she can no longer support him for 2024 in light of his response to the war on Gaza, as she says, “The man broke my heart."

She expressed fear for Palestinians and Muslims in the US who are currently facing discrimination and hatred since the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 and stated that Biden is just adding fuel to the fire through his rhetoric.
