    I mean they’re naming an illegal settlement after trump and Netanyahu is explicitly advocating for trump. What’s crazy is polls show Kamala would get like a 6 point poll boost by breaking with biden on this and saying something a little more forceful about a peace deal, such as a deadline where arms deals are halted. It would almost singlehandedly secure michigan.

        I think its more that they’re afraid of being labeled antisemitic by the media and there’s pressure from the military to maintain status with Israel.

        Edit: I don’t think people really understand how brutal the corporate media is about Israel. If you want an example, Jeremy Corbyn criticizes Israel and the labor right manufactured a fake antisemitism crisis which the corporate press used to throw the election.

        I don’t blame Kamala for trying to sit the fence given the past behavior of corporate media on this topic. Its possible the fascist genocide of Gaza by Netanyahu has opened the door to more criticism but I expect at least fox news to gleefully accuse democrats of being the “real nazis” if they drift even into skepticism of Netanyahu.
