It's been taboo for so long to speak any criticism of Israel, kind of like it's "not done in polite company". That's changing, we're seeing the flaws along with the positives, but I think this is a political hot potato for the Dems. And of course more incendiary because she's Muslim. I'm sorry to see this happening.
