This used to be the case, but now they see real hardship speading in the USA while hundreds of billions are sent to fund forign wars. The consequences are starting to arrive.
Israel remains a valuable asset to the US in the region and as such is their number 1 ally in the Middle East.

As so many other rational posters have just said, regardless of which party is in power, Israel will have the unconditional support of the US. That's just the way it is, folks.

The people who they elect are then ones that vote on measures.
But then the voters do have a choice, albeit an indirect one. Mellojello seems to think otherwise.

The U.S.pulled out of Vietnam in 1973.
The first major demonstration was in 1964, and they went nationwide the following year. How many years of nationwide demonstrations is that? Even the Kent State killings didn't move the needle.
The U.S. pulled out because foreign policy changed when they started building relations with China.

That was a war of ideology. USA vs communism. Gaza is not even Americans dying,

There's two parties, they both support Israel unconditionally, where's the consolation. Neither party will ever abandon Israel, unless the Middle East becomes irrelevant.
This is U S. foreign policy, the parties and the voters are irrelevant.
Except its never been clearer that supporting Israel will lose elections and tar the US for decades.
AIPAC must have a ton of shit on all those representatives, their handlers must be keeping tabs.

Do those dems have to decide to risk their careers or risk losing their seats?

How is putting trump in power and spending $40 billion to make the US complicit in genocide good for the US?
