We are told who the bad guys are it is considered to be "daring" to talk about Israel but you want to see someone show actual courage?

Have them talk about Saudi Arabia.

They own a big chunk of FOX "News" and Wall Street and their #1 rival in the region is Iran. We are supposed to just consider it a coincidence that Republicans who suck up to the Saudis are eager to go to war with Iran.

Want to see the future under Republicans? Look at Saudi Arabia. Morality Police, leaders who claim they are actual Holy Men speaking for God while they cavort in harems, women are property, torture, public execution, your life is determined by your place in society and that's based on your birth.
