35. I would tend to agree that she may not have the temperament.

But I won't go so far as to call her anger with and harsh criticism of the State of Israel as hatred. I understand how it might come off as that. I mean I don't know her well enough.

But there is a voice in this country that is highly critical of Israel from a Palestinian perspective. If she represents that, we have to be careful to not minimalize or suppress that anger and struggle for justice regardless of the motives of political leaders in the region.

And we shouldn't let her mistakes distract us. I suspect that Joe Biden has more compassion towards her than resentment. She has some arrogance and blind spots, but I can't say I'm as mad at her as I am at Joe Manchin or Kristen Sinema, whom the GOPs love.
