From a German point of view this is interesting watching American Democrats get bullied into pro-Israel positions by lobby money. Reminds me how staatsräson is used to silence critics. It's good to see fear of the people is overtaking fear of a foreign state to influence Democrats.

Jews are not Israel. Judaism has been around for over 4000 years, Israel is only 75 year old country.
