Effects on the political landscape?

I don’t know. Opinion is pretty squarely for Israel. I’d use their own words if I were running against them.

Well, we can only hope.

Going back to the original question...I was listening to Clay & Buck on the radio this week. They had a segment where they asked Jewish voters to call in and tell them if anything had changed in their politics since the Hamas attack.

Most of the callers were women. All were Democrats except for one lady in Chicago, who stated her family gave heavily to the Democrat Party, mostly through fundraisers (including for Pelosi). With the exception of the Chicago Republican, all said they would still be voting for the Democrat nominee in the Presidential race and also in other upcoming Federal office elections.

I just don't understand the seemingly monolithic support...

I don’t think this is as one-sided as you think.

Kind of insurrectioney, no?

I was floored by how unanimous and black/white the support for the Palestinian side is among them.

The View has put out the word.

Israel is a terrorist nation because they retaliated.

The View talks, women listen.

I wonder how many will get shot by the Capitol Police.

[Mik]

Need a little IDF action.

[George K]

Yup. In DC (wasn't clear at first).

"Assault on a Police Officer."

Bring the popcorn.

AOC is wearing them for the last week or so.

However, I have a fainting couch you can borrow.

He'll be ok, if he just loosens his corset.

FIFY

[LuFins Dad]

So will there be calls for Tlaib to be expelled? This was minutes before the protestors stormed the building…

How does President Biden feel about somebody in his party calling him a liar in regards to the hospital attack?

[George K]

Was this an incitement to an insurrection and potential takeover of the Capitol.

You're forgetting Trump - "The Jews love me. Because nobody knows as much about Israel as I do".

Abraham Accords. American Embassy in Jerusalem. Ended Isis.

Your swing...

There was a lot more to all of that than the magnificence of Donny “The Mouth” Trumpolino. And you know that very well.

One thing you did leave out was how he abandoned the USA’s Kurdish allies.

[Jolly]

You mean, after Bush and Obama? The Kurds never got what they were promised. In terms of realpolitick, the Kurds always took a backseat to the Turks.

As for what I mentioned, remind me what other U.S. presidents had those accomplishments?
