Okay —
So here’s (most of) Tomasky’s “Biden On Israel” column in TNR. Paywall got me on the laptop but not the iPhone…yet.
Here’s the link for those of you who’ve not exhausted yer freebies, whatever the format.

So, the thesis is that Biden, who doesn't think a lot of Netanyahu, is going to lose votes to Trump, who LOVES Netanyahu, because voters hate Netanyahu...?
I see.
I'm substantially younger than Joe (and that's not an age comment) - I grew up with the idea that Israel was a beacon of democracy and first tier ally, so Joe is steeped even deeper.
He's not dumb, tho. And he's already broken precedent with stating conditions for Israel. I don't think Bibi is going to last much longer anyway.
@InUnfunky It's not a war, it's a genocide.

And as Tomasky points out…prezzes (R and D) in the past used to not be afraid of cutting off aid if the Israelis got out of line…
