The way I see the current administration’s policy is this:
Obviously we’ve had longstanding defense agreements with Israel.
Obviously APAIC is an incredibly strong lobbyist
It’s dangerous to get ahead of polls and walk back defending Israel following October 7th
Especially when the Jewish-American electorate is every bit as vital to getting Democrats over the finish-line.
Now imagine if you will that Biden withdraws all aid to Israel, but then Bibi in a false-flag just so happens to say oopsies again and ignores intelligence and let’s another terrorist attack happen on Israeli soil. Democrats would lose in a landslide.
I think ultimately a lot of the optics right now is framed around getting reelected and ensuring Trump, who would be far more pro-genocide, doesn’t get in the White House. Blinken is clearly echoing marching orders from Biden in that respect.
Do I believe this administration at this point wants anything to do with Bibi in reality? Not really.
