There is something remarkable about the politics surrounding the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran. The war was launched by two unpopular leaders of two deeply divided countries. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been the main drivers of deep polarization in their countries. They have both been reviled by critics and idolized by supporters, and they have both faced accusations of corruption and misconduct.

And yet, when the two countries joined forces against the regime that rules Iran, a regime that majorities in both the U.S. and Israel see as a dangerous enemy, popular opinion in the two countries moved in opposite directions.
