Kind of a big deal for her to talk this way. She may in fact not be scared of Netanyahu and AIPAC. Will be interesting to see what she does in her second term, when she has nothing to lose.
Can we please stop judging politicians by their virtue signaling and look at their actions?
Also “not be scared of Netanyahu and AIPAC” is contradictory to “what she does in her second term, when she has nothing to lose.”
Either she isn’t scared and can do something now, or she is scared but wants to do something else, postponing it, or indeed she just agrees with what is done.
Also Biden is not up for reelection. Still what he does and doesn’t do speaks enough volumes to rebuild Gaza from those books.
It is always possible to stop allowing shipments of weapons. It is always possible to stop sending more money. It is always possible to stop vetoing UN security council resolutions. It is always possible to not make public statements of support.
Stopping your own actions is always possible. It may have ramifications, but the US full well knows, that it is the only reason Israel is not facing justice at the ICC and is made to stop the genocide. The US full well knows that all of its allies would follow suit, if it stopped supporting Israel. Many of their allies would prefer to do so, but are intimidated by the US threats.
The US would win a lot globally by stopping Israel and upholding a rule based international order for once. And the Democrats would win in a landslide on it, but they choose not to.

Maybe you just don’t understand world politics? Things can’t “just be done”. Sorry. That’s naive.

You underestimate the power and money of the Israeli lobby.
