CHAPTER

The Intersection of Social Movements and Political Calculations

This chapter examines the interplay between social movements and the Democratic Party, focusing on challenges faced by marginalized communities like Arab and Muslim groups. It raises questions about the party's political calculations, particularly in prioritizing the pro-Israel community over other marginalized groups, shedding light on the complexities within left-liberal coalitions and their impact on US-Israel relations. The discussion delves into the implications of US foreign policy decisions, the dynamics of maintaining influence in conflict regions, and the contradictions within US imperial strategy regarding Israel.
