General Discussion

...so many successive presidents, republican and Democratic, restrained Israeli presidents from many of their worst ambitions.

Not much interest it seems from the folks who thought voters should blame the Biden administration (and Kamala Harris, the eventual nominee negotiating for a ceasefire in '24) for what Netenyahu eventually did under Trump.

Not sure what the cache is in spending time convincing those same self-defeating demagogues that Democrats wouldn't acquiesce to Israeli presidents wanting to use our military to war on their behalf, like Trump has.

I think we'd do more good accurately representing the party and our elected officials, who have always acted and communicated responsibly about our Mideast ally.

Moreover, we'd also do more good recognizing that issue in the election was a deliberately diverting and divisive canard, considering the republican opposition and the abdication of responsibility we've all witnessed from them.

I'd guess that's where you'd, correctly, find our elected and aspiring Democrats - focused on what concerns and affects Americans the most. Outside of a clear determination to end the Iran war, Democrats need to remind voters that their energy and efforts aren't mired in the fate of some nation or interest other than the United States and our people.
