民主党对以色列的转变在道德和地缘政治上的影响值得比党领导人愿意给予的更多辩论。目前，进步派对犹太国家的敌意主要归因于本雅明·内塔尼亚胡政府，而非以色列的存在，当然也不是犹太人这一说法，仍具有一定的说服力，足以让民主党人继续这样表述。
The moral and geopolitical effects of Democrats’ turn against Israel deserve more debate than party leaders want to give them. For now, the conceit that progressives’ ill will toward the Jewish state has mainly to do with Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, not with Israel’s existence and certainly not with the Jews, has just enough plausibility to keep Democrats mouthing it.
共和党在这一方面也有自己的麻烦。但一些显要官员——参议员汤姆·科顿和泰德·克鲁兹，大使迈克·赫克比，众议员埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克——已经批评了他们这边的反犹主义者。对于民主党人来说，诚实的辩论可能不得不等到出现不利的政治影响之后。
Republicans have their own troubles in this area. But prominent officeholders—Sens. Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Rep. Elise Stefanik—have criticized their side’s antisemites. For Democrats, the honest debate may have to wait for adverse political effects.
