They are actually right

Disprove me. Point me official policies enacted by one of the two US parties that materially opposed Israeli Apartheid and the genocide of Palestinians since Oslo. To make sure I don't move the goalposts by claiming you cherry pick occasional bleeps, make a strong argument by showing me a consistent trend.

EDIT: added "since Oslo" because we need some start time.

EDIT2: Here's what ChatGPT has to say about this. It is obviously not the arbiter of truth, but I guess this is common enough knowledge that it has made to the training of LLMs. Not a proof, but a baseline to beat:

Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, both major U.S. political parties—the Democrats and the Republicans—have predominantly supported Israel, often refraining from officially opposing its policies toward Palestinians. While individual politicians within these parties have occasionally criticized Israeli actions, a consistent, party-wide trend of enacting official policies that materially oppose what some describe as Israeli apartheid or the genocide of Palestinians is not evident.

Democratic Party:

Historically, the Democratic Party has maintained strong support for Israel. However, in recent years, a progressive faction within the party has voiced concerns over Israel's treatment of Palestinians. Notably, members of "The Squad," including Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have condemned Israeli policies. For instance, in October 2023, Tlaib accused Israel of committing genocide, stating, "President Biden, not all America is with you on this one, and you need to wake up and understand. We are literally watching people commit genocide."

Despite these individual statements, the broader Democratic Party has not adopted official policies that consistently oppose Israeli actions. The party's platform continues to support a two-state solution without explicitly condemning Israel's practices. While some Democrats have urged the administration to take a firmer stance, such as the January 2024 letter from 60 Democratic Congressmembers urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to condemn the forced displacement of Palestinians, these actions represent internal party debates rather than an official, unified policy shift.

Republican Party:

The Republican Party has traditionally exhibited unwavering support for Israel. Under President Donald Trump's administration, this support intensified, with actions such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving the U.S. embassy there. The 2024 Republican Party platform reaffirmed the party's stance to "stand with Israel" and called for the deportation of "pro-Hamas radicals," indicating a continued strong alliance. WIKIPEDIA

While there have been isolated critiques—such as Trump's personal criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—these do not reflect a broader party policy opposing Israeli actions toward Palestinians. Overall, the Republican Party has not enacted official policies that materially oppose Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

Conclusion:

In summary, neither the Democratic nor the Republican Party has demonstrated a consistent trend of enacting official policies that materially oppose Israel's actions toward Palestinians since the Oslo Accords. While individual members within these parties have expressed dissenting views, these have not translated into official party-wide policies or actions.
