There has been an outpouring of support from both sides of the aisle in the United States since Hamas attacked Israel, but eyes are on the Democratic Party to see how long the support for one of America's strongest allies lasts.
This decision has angered those on the fringes of the House Democratic Caucus, causing swift rebukes from more centrist members of their party. President Joe Biden and members of his administration have also declared that Israel has a right to defend itself and the U.S. will offer additional aid in the coming days.
Some Democrats are already receiving criticism and backlash for their Palestinian support, dating back to their boycott of the Israeli president's joint address to Congress earlier this year. A Democratic congressman told Politico Playbook that the views shared by those such as Bush and Tlaib remain on the fringe but could easily spread — a similar outcome with Ukraine aid, as skeptics went from the GOP’s fringe to its mainstream caucus.
