    Biden is privately pressuring Netanyahu to knock it off.

    I mean, what is your plan? Vote for Trump instead?

      I’m not American so to an extent I’m all mouth here, but Biden’s private “pressure” is equivalent to not doing anything, because he’s not pressuring Netanyahu; he’s asking nicely.

        If he does too much out loud, the AIPAC lobby will back Trump even more forcefully and Jews backing the democrats may feel less motivated to turn out. Netanyahu already wants Trump to win. Democrats are trying to thread a needle. And, frankly, they need to. There is more than one issue in this campaign. Should we let America fall to a literal fascist, see abortion banned nationwide, or lose another seat on the Supreme Court for 20 years because Biden and Kamala didn’t throw a loud enough fit over Israel?
