On day 167 of Biden's hostage crisis, his Party's increasingly anti-Israel government sees only helpless Gaza -- and that through Alice-in-Wonderland glasses.
I know Democratic Zionists very well. They will not vote for any Republican let alone Trump over Israel. They will do the cognitive dissonance thing. They will pretend to themselves that it's about Bibi not appeasing pro Hamas Jew haters on the left. That's what Schumer's horrific speech was about. Today some miscreant (not Jewish) expressed the view that AIPAC is a right wing extremist lobby. Anyone who knows about AIPAC knows that it has always been strictly non partisan and it's purpose is to get the American Congress to support the policies of the Israeli government. This was true whether the government was led by Ben Gurion, Begin, Rabin or Netanyahu or anyone else. This is the legacy of Obama. But they won't abandon the party over the fact that it is now entirely driven by anti Israel policies.
This may be the best piece you have ever done, certainly one of the best.
Thanks! I look forward to meeting you and Aunt Sue the next time we're all together in Hymietown.

Given how Biden is treating Israel, do you think some of these people you know might just sit it out on election day?
I dont think so. Because of Trump. I hope I'm wrong. A message needs to be sent that voters who care about Israel cannot be ignored.
Yes, exactly, at least with respect to Zionist Jews -- they hate Trump (and for that matter, Netanyahu) more than they hate Hamas.
