Kamala Harris has had a successful three weeks in the 2024 presidential race, while Donald Trump has struggled. Polls show that Democrats are as likely to vote as Republicans, and Harris's supporters are voting for her rather than against Trump.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent speech on Israel has sparked contradictory sentiments among Democratic supporters of Israel. While there is fear for Israel's survival, there are also concerns about its conduct in Gaza.

Israeli sentiments about the war in Gaza are challenging for American liberals, with a majority of Jewish Israelis favoring military operations and opposing more humanitarian aid for Gaza. American leaders should try to understand these sentiments, but their advice may not be well-received until after the war ends and an official commission of inquiry issues its report.
