    From a German point of view this is interesting watching American Democrats get bullied into pro-Israel positions by lobby money. Reminds me how staatsräson is used to silence critics. It’s good to see fear of the people is overtaking fear of a foreign state to influence Democrats.

      Not all Jews support Israel, many oppose Zionism.

      Jews are not Israel. Judaism has been around for over 4000 years, Israel is only 75 year old country.
