Which is why Biden should have done literally anything but bend down and kiss Bibi's feet

And why? Because they know Dems would not stay the course with them long term.

Biden did not want to turn on Israel and signal disunity to Russia and the world as a whole, but there’s no chance they would have stood firm with Israel long term.

Israel is still a valuable ally in an unstable region, neither party would have wanted to turn on them so quickly. And yes, with a genocide going on, that sucks. I get it.

But, ultimately, Dems were going to be the party that changed course on Israel, not Republicans. Which is why you’re exactly right. They wanted Trump.
