      There's a limit to how much she can push rhetoric before it causes a fundamental break within US society. Already we're seeing unprecedented criticism of Israel and support for Palestinian resistance among USians, and the more she pays lip service to voters on this issue the starker the contradictions become between her words and her actions.

      That's not a bad result at all.

          I'm making the case for gambling, to be clear.

          Biden, probably more than most American politicians, is a dedicated Zionist. He's not just supporting Israel for his career or because that's what his donors want or because he's advancing his Party's agenda, he's doing it for the love of the game. There was never even the slimmest chance he would stop Israel from committing all the atrocities it wants.

          Harris is just a careerist, and she will eventually have to run for reelection. If conditions force her to break with Israel to save herself she'd do it in a heartbeat.
