Because the genocide the fascists allow will be so much kinder and gentler
Your thesis is that Israel is so powerful that they can do genocide with impunity and no one on Earth can stop them; if the US ever went soft on support for Israel it could install whoever they want as the president, ushering in an age of fascism in the US.
You actually believe all that?
"This is what Democrats actually believe."
I'm calling bullshit. Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib have both spoken out against the genocide, and yet both of them are still in office. Hell, Tlaib held up a sign that read "war criminal" during Netanyahu's speech before congress!
Kamala and Walz are superstars right now. Yet, we're supposed to believe that if she opposed Israel, the almighty AIPAC would dump a bunch of money into Trump's campaign and get him elected? Money is a huge factor in politics, but simply injecting more money doesn't cause somebody to win or lose.
AIPAC aren't gods, and the idea that they are is actually oddly antisemitic. It's like saying "We can't piss off Israel, because they control who wins or loses the election." This is batshit conspiracy theory territory.
Kamala has already shown that she isn't afraid of Trump. She needs to show that she isn't afraid of Israel, either. That is, if she's serous about ending the genocide.
