pro-Israel
Favoring the state
Pro-Israel describes support for the state of Israel, its policies, or its right to exist.
The term appears in political contexts ranging from foreign policy debates to campus activism: a pro-Israel lobby, pro-Israel legislation.
What counts as pro-Israel varies—from backing Israel's security interests to endorsing specific government actions.
Critics sometimes use it to suggest uncritical support.
