Something that, despite BOTH parties being committed to, the RW lied constantly otherwise to hammer Democrats about.

Netanyahu, in his desperation to remain free of jail, is rapidly destroying that which was once unthinkable--and I see no other country likely to come to their defense and $$$$ support. Polling has been "gentle" and "quiet" in this country, but opinions DO seem to be hardening against Israel among many after their conversion of a justified defensive reaction to Hamas on October 7 turned into a years long genocide against Palestinian people. Does anyone think the American people are likely to be less conflicted now? Especially those still somehow supporting Trump?
