Dems split on Israel, Paramount blasts Bonta

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The Wednesday vote nevertheless showed a seismic shift from two years ago, when only seven of 40 California House Democrats voted against sending military aid to Israel. Leadership past and present: The divide was especially apparent among Democratic leadership and senior-ranking members.
45% : Pelosi, a supporter of Israel for decades, said while the "amendment is ill-conceived" she voted yes to send a message that the Netanyahu government must change course and that U.S. policy must change to "put an end to a perpetual cycle of war."
41% : CUT IN TWO -- Fully half of California House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, voted for an amendment to block $3.3 billion in aid to Israel, exposing a deepening rift in the delegation over support for the longtime Middle East ally.
41% : Several members backing the motion said their decisions were meant not to permanently abandon financial support for Israel, but to send a message to the Netanyahu administration amid the war in Gaza.
40% : He said while he supports reviewing America's aid to Israel in the future, "it's wrong to abandon our allies and walk away from our agreements during such a fragile moment."
37% : On the frontlines: Democrats trying to fend off the GOP's most serious challenges in the state took different tacts, sensitive to voter concerns about the Netanyahu administration's handling of Gaza, but not a full rejection of Israel.
