He relentlessly campaigned against Obama’s nuclear deal with the Iranian regime, an initiative most Democrats still support. Polling by several organizations shows that Netanyahu’s personal ratings among Democrats have plummeted during Trump’s presidency, along with support for Israel. That would not include Omar and Tlaib, both of whom have endorsed the BDS movement — for boycott, divestment and sanction of Israel. By now, having outlasted both Clinton and Obama, Netanyahu seems to have written off the Democrats as losers who can’t harm him. Either way, what happens to Netanyahu this spring will have more impact on the Democratic Party’s relations with Israel than anything Omar or Tlaib do.
