(371 posts)Unfortunately, blind support for Israel is one issue that most Democrats and all Republicans agree on. Trump will clearly make it worse, but it's not going so well with Biden in the Oval Office. The reason is simple: Campaign contributions from AIPAC.
Look up the story of former Congressman Andy Levin. Son of the late Senator Carl Levin, rabbi, self declared Zionist, Andy had the treminity to sponsor a bill which would have restricted American dollars from funding illegal settlements on the West Bank. Boom! AIPAC primaried him for stepping out of line and that was it. Believe me the message was heard all over the Hill. If they will do that to one of their own, what do you think they will do to anyone who dares to question complete support for Israel?
