I've only recently started to educate myself on the complexities and intractable nature of the conflict, but there a huge amount of support that Israel get from the American government.
What are the implications of this 'counter-narrative' coming from CNN?
This feels like quite a shift away from the usual pro-Israel stance, but I'm completely outside the US context and am not familiar with where they sit (next to fox and so on)
The US government almost unanimously supports Israel, as does its ruling class.
The majority of working class Americans are unlikely to support sending aid to Israel if they had the option to vote directly on it.
Israel has more influence on American politics than American voters.
Ouch... That's tragic
