That's according to a new op-ed from Guy Benson at Townhall, which you can read here.
Much of the op-ed draws on the North Carolina Democratic Party's anti-Israel resolutionapproved by party leadership last month.
The Benson op-ed reads in part:
These numbers are highly disturbing yet unsurprising. Democratic voters' sympathies have dramatically shifted from pro-Israel to pro-Palestinian since October 7, 2023. On that terrible day, Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 people, including dozens of Americans, and took hundreds of hostages -- also including Americans. These acts of explicitly genocidal violence touched off a brutal war in which Hamas used civilians as human shields while operating their terrorism out of hospitals and schools. As a result, self-identified Democrats in the United States stampeded to turn against the Jewish state, the victims of the attack. Democrats are now are pro-Palestinian political party, and it's not even particularly close.
BOTTOM LINE: The silence from elected and prominent North Carolina Democrats like Gov. Josh Stein, former Gov. Roy Cooper, Attorney General Jeff Jackson, and former Congressman (DC Intern) Wiley Nickel is alarming.
Do they go along with their party's base in agreement or are they too afraid to speak out?
