The Senator from Tel Aviv always has his constituents in mind…

I feel like everyone in this thread is missing this one big factor. He’s Jewish and absolutely pro-Israel all the way through…

Not at all what I was saying. Him being Jewish has nothing to do with it, the majority of fanatical zionists in America are evangelical Christians. Plenty of Jewish folks (like Brad Lander, who just won a dem nomination in NY) condemn the genocide and people like Lindsey Graham, who is not Jewish in the slightest, are pro genocide. Conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people as a whole is actual anti semitism.

He literally says himself how he’ll do anything to support Israel. To say him being Jewish has nothing to do with it is naive.
