Adistressing number of Americans, especially in academia and media, are effectively siding with Hamas against Israel. Some of them do so with horrifying specificity. Some do so by repeating Hamas propaganda and slogans (such as “from the river to the sea”) or accepting the premises of that propaganda. Others are cannier about not saying it quite out loud but make plain that their sympathies, their prescriptions, and their willingness to believe the evidence are unequally against Israel.
If you drew a Venn diagram of the Americans siding against Israel and the Americans who embrace the woke worldview, it would overlap very substantially. That correlation would become even tighter if you looked at who embraces academic ideas such as “settler colonialism” and “decolonization” or political demands for reparations for African Americans, which might at first glance seem to have nothing to do with Israel, but which rests on the same worldview.
