Axios: Gaza war heightens ambivalence in America

Axios magazine announced in its report that the Gaza war and the differing opinions surrounding it have been observed to have increased divisions in American society. According to Axios, on college campuses, in workplaces, on city streets, and inside Congress and the White House, people's opinions about the real war in Gaza are vastly different and the "gap" between people is widening. According to the report, the deep division in America is a serious problem and could change American politics. Guy Ziv, an analyst and professor at the US School of International Services, acknowledged that: Although most foreign policy issues are not very important to American citizens, there has always been disproportionate interest in this issue. According to this analyst, this is partly due to the strong ties of the American Jewish and Christian communities to Tel Aviv. Moreover, social media also creates heated and provocative discussions among people and fake news is always published through these platforms. Axios concluded: Public opinion will continue to shift, and divisions could widen as the war progresses. In general, people's bipartisanship in their political views is one of the obvious features of American society, which analysts have warned about before. Environmental protection, gun policy reform and Washington's increased military power are considered other divisive factors in the country's society.
