And that's our biggest problem: private money in politics. It's totally corrupting. I remember one day several months ago that Biden had the UN Ambassador block an otherwise unanimous call for a ceasefire, then go right to an AIPAC event. As long as we have private money and protracted campaigns, we're sunk.

I don't know how Germany is supporting this genocide. Maybe they are, and I just don't know about it.
Yeah, Joe reportedly says "Bibi, might you consider a ceasefire?" And Bibi says "First of all, go fuck yourself. And second, send us more weapons to wipe these people out." And Joe says "OK. Just a thought."
It is absolutely true that the Jews have made a millennia-long career of being the victims of one group or another. But I always think of the Lieber and Stoller song, "Charlie Brown," sung by the Coasters. It has a recurring line that goes "Why's everybody always pickin' on me?" The Jews never ask (themselves) that question.
I grew up Jewish (I gave it up), and this year, I went to a Passover dinner (Seder) that was focused on the Palestinians. That's the theme of Passover: remembering suffering, and vowing not to let that happen to anyone else. Few Jews remember the second part. But even if almost all of them did, the problem is Netanyahu. They need to get rid of him, like the Russians need to get rid of Putin.
I'd say we need to get rid of Biden, too, but I'm not remotely confident that Harris would be any better. Either she says she wouldn't, or she's playing those cards close to the vest for fear of upsetting those lobbyists you mentioned, and any pro-"Israel" voters she thinks are out there. But as I said, every week, and day, and hour, and minute she waits, Netanyahu wipes out more Palestinians.
