Rahm Emanuel warns that support for Israel is plummeting globally, noting that the country has lost its biggest economic partner, Europe, and faces exclusion for its scientists and artists. Favorable views among Americans have dropped from 55% in 2022 to 37%, with even lower numbers among youth.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu has done the former to the exclusion of the latter. And as a direct result, support for Israel is plummeting around the world. You've lost Europe, your biggest economic partner and market. Your scientists face exclusion from international conferences and research networks. Your artists and academics are shut out of exhibits and meetings. In 2022, 55% of Americans held a favorable view of Israel. Today it is 37% and it is dropping. And among the youth of both America and Europe, the future of both America and Europe, it's even lower. The only diplomatic gain you've made in the last three years is Somaliland. As my grandmother would say, you lost America, you lost Europe and you picked up Somaliland. Such a deal."
