A university professor says that Palestine is by far the most vehemently divisive foreign policy issue in the United States. | A recent report by Axios shows that Palestine, especially in light of the Israeli war against Gaza, has become a deeply divisive topic among Americans. Anti-zionist discourse has grown increasingly amplified, especially on college campuses, getting wrongfully framed as anti-semitic, while Zionist-sympathizers have resorted to Islamophobic bigotry. The report raises concern that the division over this issue is roiling American society and has the potential to reshape US politics. ● [The professor] explains that social media has exacerbated the divisions with the increasingly amplified anti-zionist discourse and the Islamophobic counter-discourse. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it received 774 complaints about Islamophobic incidents between Oct. 7 and Oct. 24, the report cites. Meanwhile, 213 cases of alleged "anti-semitism" were recorded over the same period.
