The fact that they aren't standing up to Israel even though it's obvious, there is disgruntlement is disappointing. In other words, I disagree but respect with GOP for their convictions but at least they have the power of their convictions. Half ass foreign policy is not the way to go in any foreign policy.


They are half assed because those are the electoral incentives they face. They have a loud contingent that opposes Israel and then a lot of people who are less loud that won't vote for Dems unless they support Israel. And ironically the loud contingent (young activists) is not a reliable voting bloc so that's why they get lip service whereas those that support Israel get the $$ and weapons.



Howzabout just do the right thing and not plan to spend your whole GD life in office? Do we need lifetime rulers?

Let me guess, as soon as Iran drops bombs on Israel we are going to mobilize for a full scale invasion of Iran at the behest of Israel who doesn’t listen to anything we say. Yay, here goes another $5 trillion USD flushed down the toilet in the crap hole known as the Middle East. This is getting worse by the day. Now we will have full scale war in Ukraine and the Middle East dragging in even more countries. Harris is going to be a disaster.


Let's see:: Hamas attacked Israel. Israel retaliated. How is this the fault of Biden Harris administration? You made the accusation now you give specific and proof of your ignorance and stupidity.

+1 Netanyahu wants this war.

If Trump were president he'd be even more emboldened.

Why are we involved? The only way the war spreads is if we get involved. Let Israel suffer the consequences and they will stop bombing, assassinating and invading.

Iran has shown great restraint with regards to Israel.


That this is probably a serious post is terrifying.

Dedicated public servants? Yes, there was a time when that was understood to be a positive thing. And it was certainly better than people like Trump who are all corruption and no upsides.

The Iran middle attack was launched. Over 100 missiles were reportedly fired; Israel is invading Lebanon. Biden and Harris are determined to cause WW3. I don’t know how anyone can argue that these people are competent. The world was at peace when Trump was President. Our border was secure, our economy was good. I fear for this country and the world if Harris is elected. Her weakness invites aggression from Russia, Iran and probably China soon.

The Democratic party's support of Israel goes well, well beyond Biden, if that's who you're referring to.

It's about who will vote for them, including Harris. And if Harris loses I assure you the other side will not cut support to Israel.

Some young activists think if they don't vote they will "send a message" - yeah, the message is, "don't listen to us, we are lackadaisical about voting anyway so find another group to support you".

Now the warmonger has an excuse to attack Iran and cause a regional Middle East War. I hope we don’t become involved.

Trump was a strong President and our adversaries feared him. We saw none of this chaos on the world stage when he was President.

So you think Trump won't bomb Iran?

What an absolutely simple-minded take. Israel support is a longstanding U.S. policy. It doesn't matter if it's Trump or Biden in office. It transcends the Presidency.

I hope we are not involved in attacking Iran. That would make this country less safe.

Oh well, at least this probably guarantees Harris will not get support from Muslim voters in key states like Michigan.

I don't agree. But this may push Trump back into office. We'll see how well he deals with all this.

+1 unfortunately the strategy of the anti-Israel activists has been to attack Democrats during the general election, helping Trump, who is even less likely to oppose Israel.

The correct strategy would be to:
- Fight like hell during primaries to nominate candidates willing to stand up to Israel
- During the general election, fight like hell to prevent the most staunchly pro-Israel candidate from being elected
- During the next term, fight like hell to get elected officials to stand up to Israel
