MODERATORS
My point is, they gave enough lip service, half gestures etc... to try and convince the "don't murder everyone in Gaza" some hope that they could be worked with. IE, they delayed one shipment, Harris didn't meet with Netanyahu that one time.
Again fully agreed they were ineffective half measures, but that was enough to let the Pro-Isreal lobby go in super deep "OH MY GOD LOOK HOW ANTI-SEMETIC THEY ARE!!! I NEVER".
The Dems don't support the genocidal settler-colony Israel because pro-Israel lobbyists hand them cash, but because Israel is an important projection of power as an Imperialist foothold in the region. This hasn't been about minor AIPAC donations but the massive wealth extraction that comes from securing the dollar as the world reserve currency and benefiting massively from brutal IMF loans.
