    Could backfire on the GOP if he publicly praises Biden for his support.

    More likely though Bibi will shit all over Biden despite his unwavering support, which I would think would snap Biden out of this lunacy but I can’t imagine him changing his stance at this point.

      Biden has supported far more than he should, but it absolutely not been unwavering. Are you even paying attention?

        Wavering in aesthetic, maybe.

        I think he paused weapons for all of 24 hours and has chosen to obstruct any accountability from the UN and ICC

      This is far more likely. Biden like many Democrats has been blindly pro-Isreal for literally 4-5 decades. He’s a sure thing and he will be treated as such. There’s no advantage to praising Biden and no disadvantage to shitting on him. Seems Israel has more of a right to American tax dollars than Americans do .

        Short term yes, but it is a strategic risk long term.

        Part of the reason Democrats are turning on Netenyahu (and, by association, Israel) is genuine policy concerns and grassroot pressure.

        However, another part of his problem with Democrats is that he has spent the past decade inserting himself into US politics as a Republican alligned figure. That both makes Democratic politicians more willing to oppose him, and gives the Democratic base a permission structure for opposing him.
