I wonder if that’s not a miscalculation. To assume that people who are Jewish are automatically in favour of Netanyahu. Even in Israel itself his popularity has dropped a lot, I’ve seen big demonstrations in the news.
This is daft though considering that he needs Michigan and the Muslim voters in were one of the Democratic pillars in that state, and he has completely and possibly irrevocably alienated them.
The moment the US stops spending on military, keeping the production chains working, building the latest and baddest, and selling weapons all over the world… it will have to face countries wondering how much exactly is the USD worth.
This is almost certainly not true. There are ways to push the breaks lightly, without cutting off funds. There are ways to press the gas too. If you don’t think lightly tapping the breaks is any different than not doing it, I’d have to disagree. In my opinion there’s likely a countable difference in body count. Not to mention that the other guys could easily increase the funding, which could cause a few of the other meat grinding dominoes to fall. I don’t see the Republican Blinken running around trying to negotiate some ceasefire.
Biden literally circumvented congress twice to give Israel more weapons, using an unusual method that is not standard practice. He did not have to do this. No matter what comes out of his mouth, his actions put the lie to it.
I do agree the Republicans would probably be even worse, while simultaneously dropping the much needed Ukraine aid too. But Biden ain’t tapping any breaks.

Wouldn’t he have his election campaign coffers already full up at this stage?
And after that it doesn’t matter anymore, he’s not going to run for president again whether he wins or loses.

This is the point.
It doesn’t matter what they say when they both do the same thing.
