[unbelievable - of course Biden and Harris will go along with no complaint]

    Yeah. I think it depends on who wins. Biden has given qualified support with a little bit of pushback. Trump’s support would likely be fully unqualified, since he needs to appeal to his Evangelicals and far right folks who support Israeli expansion. I don’t see much incentive to change from his course of full throated support for West Bank annexation and moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, de facto acknowledging it as the Israeli capital.

      I think you’ve hit it on the head, in that it will be a question of how openly the next administration enables the horrors perpetuated by the Israeli government. What a time to be alive!
