Effect of Hamas Attacks and Israeli Reponse on US Politics

Well, here's one that I should have seen coming. The Democratic Socialists of America are broke:

Democratic Socialists face seven-figure ‘crisis’ amid Palestinian support that may force dreaded layoffs of staff.

Although some of the leaders are particularly clueless:

But the DSA officers recommending the job cuts said the left-wing group should be buoyed by the energy surrounding its anti-Israel protests — and seemed puzzled why their bottom line is sinking.

Let's see, is there a group within the socialists who might not be thrilled at the anti-Israel protests?
 
Here's another logical consequence that is relevant to politics: DEI is under attack, and this time not just from Republicans, but from American Jews:

Other prominent Jews calling for the demise of DEI are Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer and pro-Israel activist; Mark Charendoff, president of the Maimonides Fund, and David L. Bernstein, a Jewish communal professional whose opposition to “wokism” led him to form the Jew*ish Insti*tute for Lib*er*al Val*ues.

“It’s not that we don’t want to make campuses comfortable places for people of color and gays and lesbians. God forbid,” Bernstein said in an interview. “Unfortunately DEI quickly evolved into an ideological framework that tells people in no uncertain terms who are the oppressed and who are the oppressors. It tends to divide people into racial affinity groups, which can be very divisive. It often imposes political litmus tests with DEI statements that applicants must submit for getting a job or getting promoted.”

Bernstein agrees with Weiss that DEI turns the relative academic and financial success of Jews against them by suggesting they are “riding on the backs of deprived minority groups.”
