In recent days, a majority of Democratic senators voted for a resolution to bar the sale of assault rifles to Israeli police, a marked change in the party since the start of the military conflict. Their unprecedented rebuke comes as polling shows slipping support for Israel among Democratic voters, signaling the prolonged war has potentially caused permanent damage to the country’s relationship with the Democratic Party.
Well it’s not really a war anymore, it’s genocide. Impossible to ignore. Israel donates a lot of money in American politics, maybe time to find candidates they don’t fund
To paraphrase judeo-christan mythology, "it's easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle than it is to find a politician not compromised by israeli political donations."
Was it ever a war?
No it was not.
