A decade ago or so, Bibi saw that US Ds were going woke, where Israelis could never go, and so switched focus, with ever more fervency, onto Rs as support for Israel. That Israel, in view of objective circumstances, remained a client rather than a sovereign state was then and remains a known known all around the planet.
Younger US Americans who identify as Jewish are, most of them, woke, going with Palestinians — anything to be against The Man, whoever He is at the moment. Butterflies flitting from flower to flower in search of nourishment (a cause).
Polling definitively shows that Israelis of the same age cohort go in the opposite direction, their senior rabbis exhorting to the same effect: kill Palestinians, all of them, and take their wealth to yourself, without hesitation or remorse.
So, US American Jews, younger and older, most of whom are Reformed, have a problem: keeping USG focused — as if US American Jews embody such authority — on subsidizing the slaughter of Palestinians. From within their own families, schools, and associations there is palpable horror at the savagery going on in the name of, as senior rabbis put it, God’s Injunction to kill them all.
Now that the R Party is in the hands of so-called Evangelical Christians, who are Zionists for AIPAC-JINSA-ADL political purposes — but not for the same reasons that AIPAC-JINSA-ADL harbor — Ds’ former stalwarts, US Americans identifying as Jews, are less than stalwart Ds, at least in their younger cohort, who are numerous and bumptious.
Bibi saw this coming a decade or so ago. Thus his cultivation of friendship with POTUS Trump. This phenomenon kind of sends Ds and their elder US American Jewish stalwarts back to recalculate their trumps, so to speak.
Ds did it to themselves, adopting woke values: LGBTQ. Meanwhile, the nations — whom God loves without favor — are less than enthusiastic about prostrating at the foot of Zion. Senator Schumer lately took note.
Postscript: Why, if Ds presume — as one should expect they can — they have US national elections in the bag, so to speak — by making them federal rather than state functions — would Rs imagine that Ds are concerned about winning said elections and Ds say that they are too? Someone is pulling someone’s leg in this regard, I think.
