Much more notable is the fact that Democratic Party leaders -- including Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi -- are just as lockstep in their blind, uncritical support for the Israeli attack, in their absolute refusal to utter a word of criticism of, or even reservations about, Israeli actions. While some Democratic politicians who are marginalized by the party's leadership are willing to express the views which Democratic voters overwhelmingly embrace, the suffocating, fully bipartisan orthodoxy which typically predominates in America when it comes to Israel -- thou shalt not speak ill of Israel, thou shalt support all actions it takes -- is in full force with this latest conflict. It was the same with the war in Iraq.....first the American people became against it; then the politicians. It will be the same with Israel. There used to be a time when 80% of Americans would support whatever Israel is doing.....no longer. Eventually, only the neos will care.......25% of the population but then, they are always behind the rest of us.

What's actually somewhat remarkable is that there is even more lockstep consensus among America's political leadership supporting the Israeli attack on Gaza than there was supporting the U.S.'s own attack on Iraq (at least a few Democratic Congressional leaders opposed the war on Iraq, unlike for Israel's bombing of Gaza, where they virtually all unequivocally support it).<< Not a surprise to countless Americans who have come to realize that ISRAEL/AIPAC runs our country. Hilary lost because she is so pro-Israel. Won't make a difference in our ME policy. We are just pawns for Israel's political masters.
