    Is it possible that the Democrats’ hands are tied because the American public supports Israel and AIPAC has successfully primaried several progressive politicians?

    I think they’re in a tough spot politically, the left seems to think that support for Israel will cost the Democrats elections, but there’s more evidence that if they do NOT support Israel strongly enough, it will cost them elections.

      You’re probably correct in that it is a balancing act with no real winners.

      It’s too bad so few seem to be able to see the nuances.

      Right, because D-Day and Vietnam showed clearly that USA politicians never act against what the popular opinion dictates
