    This is emphatically false. Like… Literally just a lie straight from the “both parties” crowd.

    The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically (weakly, since they seem afraid of piss off voters and hand everything to Trump).

    The Republicans fully support everything taking place right now. 100% support for Israel and this Hitler-esque leader of Isreal.

      “No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none,"

      Joe Biden like yesterday

      How is Israel being pressured? Do you mean phone calls where Biden asks bibi to chill then sends him everything he wants anyway? That’s not pressure. Pressure would be putting conditions on arms transfers and Biden won’t do that so the only thing separating Ds and Rs on this issue is a very thin veil of rhetoric that no one believes anyway

      Do you suppose they could pressure me? I could use billions of dollars with no strings attached.

      Saying “Hey, bud, don’t do x, is I’ll be real mad at you,” and then going “Gee, you did what I told you not to. Well, here’s a few billion dollars more weapons for you, so you can keep doing what I publicly asked you not to do.” is not pressuring them, it’s attempting to give plausible deniability to people who feel bad about supporting a blatantly genocidal state, and to fool the folks who take soundbites in the news at face value.

      Current Democratic pressure amounts to fuck all outside of a handful of legislators who are demonized by the centrist and right wing factions of the party. To say otherwise is to either deny reality, or else willfully misrepresent it.
