Israel/Palestine

of his ingrained position on Israel--forged in a different era--and (just guessing here) not wanting to do like LBJ did with the Voting Rights Act, losing the South to Republicans in perpetuity. Only this time it would be the Jewish community & donors that might be lost.

Trouble is, the growing and vocal number of his constituents appalled & disgusted by the genocide and at the weaponry, cash, & diplomatic cover lavished unconditionally on the "Occupiers" has to be weighed in, just as growing civil-rights activism had to be weighed in back then.

So it's a tough balancing act with far-reaching implications that he has to wrestle with now.

All conjecture on my part.

I know what I wish, though, as I see the starving, maimed thousands huddled in the death camp.
