Will the latest election in Israel change things in the U.S.?

One can hope.
The importance of Tom Friedman’s article saying the Israel we knew is gone is not about Palestinians. No, the Israel Palestinians know (it) is the same. It is about American Jews. They are finally catching a clue. That is the importance of (early November's) election, the Itamar Ben-Gvir election, in which his fascistic Religious Zionism party took 14 seats, and hard right wing parties took 74 (per Dahlia Scheindlin). The new ugly Israel will alienate American Jews, as Israel lobbyists Dennis Ross and David Makovsky openly fretted in an Op-Ed...

The disarray is a good thing. Zionism — the ideology Ben-Gvir and Netanyahu embody, one of Jewish supremacy in the Jewish land – is at last becoming problematic for American Jews. They are up to their chins in a discriminatory ideology, and so we begin a war over Zionism that will bring down the Israel lobby in the next ten years. Because Zionism destroys everything in its path. - Mondoweiss
