I don’t care what the dem leadership says about it, nearly as much as I care what they do about it. That the Biden admin and the rest of the dem leadership have real power to stop Israel, yet don’t do it is materially the same thing whether they wring their hands about it or not. Maybe the confusion is around the word “support”. I don’t mean it in the sense of like, thoughts and prayers. I mean “support” in the sense of send offensive weapons, block any hostile measures by the UN and run interference on public demonstrations against your genocide. Plenty of dems fit the second meaning. The first meaning is irrelevant.
You’re grasping for justifications where there are none. The US could very well guarantee Israel’s security from Iranian attack the way it is doing right now: by parking a carrier strike group nearby. Incidentally, we could use those same assets to simultaneously enforce a no-fly zone over Israel to prevent further bombing. Beyond that, Israel guarantees its own continued existence by way of a nuclear arsenal.
Nobody in the Democratic party supports Genocide.
They support the ability of Israel to exist and defend itself.
The problem is that Bibi intentionally misuses that support and the Democrats are too spineless to call him out on it.
That’s not the same as going “Oh, yes, please, take our support and kill as many people as you can with it!”
That’s the Trump doctrine.

“They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to – you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”

That’s the thing, they don’t have any real power to stop Israel.
We could cut off funding today, the genocide will continue.
So might as well keep funding then? Lol
We’re going to keep funding them as long as Iran continues to make noises about wanting to attack them, yes.
