Yang said that many of his own campaign volunteers expressed disappointment in his pro-Israel views, writing that 'they felt that my tweet was overly simplistic in my treatment of a conflict that has a long and complex history full of tragedies.'

"I mourn for every Palestinian life taken before its time as I do for every Israeli. Suffering and pain and violence and death suffered by anyone hurts us all," Yang continued in his statement."Support of a people does not make one blind to the pain and suffering of others. Again, most everyone simply wants to be able to live and pray in peace."

Yang reaps liberal backlash, conservative support from Israel tweetAndrew Yang’s pro-Israel tweet Monday night won him the support of Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Ted Cruz, and the scorn of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Only AOC could line up against Israel defending herself against Hamas attacks. Yang is just an opportunistic populist like an average right wing populist. He is what Trump would have been if Trump had chosen to infiltrate the left rather than the right. Falling for demagogues supported by a surreptitious social media campaign is a serious weakness in US. '...Ocasio-Cortez and half of Twitter.'
