Miriam Elman cited in Jewish News Syndicate article on Democrats' support for Israel

"It’s not surprising to find dropping sympathy for Israel as this happens," says Elman, "because for the far left, identity politics dominates as an overarching world view, in which both Israel and America are cast as white supremacist, colonialist, and capitalist oppressors of minority rights and liberties." 01/29/18
