@chmadar Because there's been no discussion of cutting it. Entirely possible that will change in the future but I doubt it

@speechboy71 I also doubt that military aid will fall in the future–which begs question: does this cooling off on Israel mean anything? -
@chmadar I think so. The military aid is only one aspect of the relationship. -
@speechboy71 True, but the most significant aspect by far, wouldn't you say? In terms of consequences, budget, far more than "peace process" -
@chmadar Israel doesn't face a serious conventional security threat. -
@speechboy71 True, but U.S. military aid is a sine qua non for maintaining the Occupation. -
@chmadar I'm not sure I'd agree with that -
@speechboy71@ChMadar Perhaps way to look at military aid is that without it, Israel would face very different cost/benefit for occupation. - 4 more replies

@ChMadar Just seems weak, like it lacks real & actual examples of Democrats truly turning on Israel -
@kgosztola And if some Dem pol actually did–called for ending aid, taking Hamas off t list–the pile-on by other Dems would be fast &vicious. -

@kgosztola Ha! I'll keep that ace up my sleeve.
