    It is a coldly political calculation. The Dems are afraid that if they refuse to facililitate Israeli genocide, then American Jews won’t vote for them. At the same time, MAGA Nazis will step right up and pledge to kill every Muslim in the Middle East, and sweep up every vote.

    The Dems can’t afford to lose a fairly monolithic voting block.
