We wish for peace and security for Israel
But we also have to acknowledge that Israel cannot have peace and security while conducting a genocidal occupation/apartheid
While we're wishing, we could also wish for the US to withhold military aid until Israel stops the occupation and settlements
I don’t believe anything they say on wanting to liberate Palestinians, but unlike most on center right, they seem to have enough foresight to see the looming consequences.
J Street is not to be trusted.
Even when J Street is recommending policy that's better than the Israeli government they make the Israeli government's case that the Palestinians deserve what the Israeli government is doing.
"That's a nice Democracy you're trying to save there Mr. Biden. It would be a shame if anything happened to it. We'd really like like to support you, but unless you end the war there's not much we can do to help you and it'll be out of our hands."
Holy shit! This is actually a big deal. Maybe, just maybe, we'll see Biden change course in a tangible way. I have no hope that it won't be incremental, but if he can't keep J Street in the fold the election is absolutely lost.
I'm still not convinced that Biden wouldn't suffer much worse of a political beating if he openly opposed Netanyahu's war.
Five months of every major media outlet accusing him of being a terrorist sympathizer? You think it wouldn't work? Half the country think the economy is bad solely bc media.
Feel like this woulda meant something six months ago, now it just sounds like them laying all the blame at Biden’s feet ignoring Bibi’s deranged threats to go on his own
