How the Israel-Hamas war is dividing U.S. voters ahead of the 2024 Presidential election

A new report by the American Jewish Committee found that 63% of American Jews say they feel less safe living in the U.S. than a year ago. Muslim groups are feeling it, too. The Council on American Islamic Relations reported a 300% increase in requests for help in the weeks after Oct. 7. It's all part of the fallout of the Israel-Hamas war. But a world away, it's having a profound impact on people in the United States. In Talking Points, Esme Murphy looks at how the war is fueling tensions here at home and deepening a political divide that could impact the 2024 Presidential election. Political analyst Larry Jacobs, a politics professor at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, says the growing divide is dangerous for Biden. Minneapolis, like other cities around the country, have passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who is Jewish, vetoed the measure, but the council overrode the veto. However, Robyn Wonsley, the Ward 2 city council member, says her constituents demanded the resolution. The impact of the war is personal on both sides. Steve Hunegs, the executive director of JCRC Minnesota and Dakotas, says everyone knows a victim caught up in the ongoing war. Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of CAIR-MN, recognizes the great loss Minnesotans are feeling as the death toll grows. #israel #israelpalestineconflict #israelhamaswar #palestine #hamas #gaza #news #biden #minneapolis Read more of Murphy's findings here: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/talking-points-an-ongoing-israel-hamas-war-drives-voters-apart-ahead-of-the-general-election/ New 'Talking Points' episodes premiere exclusively Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. CST on CBS News Minnesota streaming via the CBS News app: https://www.cbsnews.com/mobile/ PlutoTV: https://cbsloc.al/3G5HJMh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This episode's Talking Points: 0:00 The impact of the war on Americans 0:56 The political damage to Joe Biden 5:35 Mayor Jacob Frey on ceasefire resolution 10:35 Robyn Wonsley on ceasefire resolution 15:31 Rise in Antisemitism 19:04 Rise in Islamophobia
