And if she doesn’t do it, AIPAC shovels 10’s of millions of dollars towards defeating her in 2028.

That’s the cold, cruel political reality.

Kamala wins send a whole new dynamic to the current Israeli stalemate. I think Bibi bails to a place with no extradition treaty....pretty much like Trump.

somehow rig elections. Democrats don't change policy because of powerful lobbying firms, they aren't corrupt. Money is not the only motivation for everything and again, Democrats are not corrupt. It's a conspiracy theory.

"Defy" -- what are they going to do? Stop donating? So what. Mitt Romney had more money than Obama and lost, Hillary had more money than Trump and lost, Trump had more money than Biden and lost. CT that everything's about money and everything's rigged is ... .

AIPAC is coordinating $100 million in campaign contributions this year.

4. "When Harris wins.....what does Bibi do?"

As already correctly noted: Bibi has nothing to worry about.

Sure, like Putin, he’d rather have Trump, but he knows there’s little, if anything, the US can do.

support them to get their end times jam on . Most politicians will support Israel whatever they do because. shit I really don't know why they will support them because they will. Some people say they are our allies in the ME but Netanyahu sure would rather have Trump.

If another country was doing what Netanyahu is doing the US would raise a bit of hell.
