On The Kim Iversen Show, the host analyzes Joe Scarborough’s surprising take that Benjamin Netanyahu bears primary responsibility for Israel’s plummeting support in America, citing four years of “maximalist” policies, indiscriminate bombing in Gaza, actions in the West Bank and Lebanon, and even funding Hamas before October 7th. Iversen agrees, contrasting older generations raised on Holocaust liberation stories, Munich Olympics terror, and intifada coverage with younger viewers shaped by live-streamed images of civilian casualties and famine. She critiques the post-WWII creation of Israel as ironically anti-Semitic “pawn them off” thinking and notes how constant exposure to one-sided narratives has given way to average Americans—especially younger ones—rejecting what they see as brutality, signaling a major erosion of unconditional pro-Israel sentiment across the political spectrum.
