Important commentary from (Jewish American) analyst Mitchell Plitnick on Ben Rhodes’ NYT piece.
Plitnick lays out why Kamala Harris’ Israel Palestine stance was a major political own goal, even among voters who weren’t so focused on Palestinian rights.
Worth your time. As is Rhodes' oped.

Ben Rhodes takes Democrats to task for their failures on Israel and Palestine. He misses a few points but gets a lot right.

Rhodes: "Politicians cannot ask people to face hard realities while avoiding discomfort themselves."
This is devastating for Starmer specifically: asks unions, pensioners, voters to accept tough choices.
But won't take political risk on Netanyahu? Undermines entire leadership brand.

Final point: Rhodes isn't arguing "be more left-wing." He's arguing unconditional support for strongmen doesn't work.
Strategically, morally or politically.
Democrats tried it. Failed.
Labour is repeating their mistake with even less justification.
Learn. Or repeat.
