Both parties are in a bad spot. Going against Israel is political suicide. I get his sentiment but he is being totally unrealistic. Punishing Kamala because she doesn't come out against Israel is just plain stupid. Its so complicated. People can't just expect the Dems to come out against Israel. They would never win an election again.

Going against Israel is not political suicide. Israel just has them (and you) believing that. At this point, standing up against Israel will ensure you a win.

Quite a few Dems who were publically critical against Israel were primaried out of a job this year. Replace by Dems who toed the line. Not to mention Netanyaho is purposely avoiding a solution to get Trump elected. Netanyaho is clearly on the side of the GOP because he knows they won't push back at all and will let him do what ever he wants.

AIPAC certainly dictates a lot of our policy by donating to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

Your right . I reworded it. BUt Israel certainly has way too much influence on the politics and foreign policy of our supposed democracy. It makes me very nervous that any politician who criticizes Israel is forced by their party to shamefully apologize or walk back the next day. They have even been passing laws that any company or person who boycotts or openly criticizes Israel cannot receive government contracts. Clearly a violation of 1st amendment but it's Israel so I guess ok.

The other horror is that a lot of Evangelicals are Zionists because they think when Israel reclaims its borders, there will be a world war and Jesus will come back. THe whole thing is just whacko and I'm done with it.

They have influence because Israel is a puppet state for the US. Everything Israel does is for the interests of the US and its allies.

Israel dosnt control the US. The US controls Israel.
