Americans Are Changing Their Views of Israel. That’s a Problem.

Earlier this month I attended an open town hall for my congressman, Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts. Since he’s a moderate Democrat in a district that has been reliably Democrat for some time now, I expected that the bulk of the questions Auchincloss would receive would be variations of “Why aren’t you fighting Trump harder?” Indeed, Auchincloss’ opening remarks were typical Democratic talking points including defending the Constitution, reinvigorating the Democratic Party and getting America talking again. While some constituent questions revolved around those topics as well, they were not the primary subject.
