Israel has become a very easy litmus test.
It's a code way of saying are you a progressive or are you a centrist? And it's very easy for someone like Graham Platner to yell condemn the genocide in Gaza. It can be harder to take a nuanced view and discuss well maybe Israel did go too far in the war in Gaza but maybe it's not a genocide and let's talk about what role the US should have in rebuilding Gaza. And we have seen in the polls a shift that Democrats and young people are less likely to support Israel. So we're seeing that in in the Democratic candidates.
