      This is much more honest than the usual rigmarole people come up with. It ignores the possible shifts in Jewish-American opinion (towards disengagement with Israel and post-Zionism) as well the electoral costs of a putatively anti-racist party abandoning principles. https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1394290240450449413 …

      Younger Jews are less pro-Israel than their parents (IE, BDS geting 11% support in the two-way among Jews over 65 to 27% in the two-way among Jews under 30), but the idea that there's an emerging post-zionist Jewish majority is a leftist pipe dream.pic.twitter.com/mqEevufyGi

      The question is for how many of these voters is this a super-salient issue. Your original post indicated its a small minority, which I think is true. I'm not sure the universal principles of human rights are worth sacrificing to placate such a small group.

      I do not agree with the premise that the Democrats taking a more aggressively anti-Israel stance would result in better outcomes for Palestinians.

      So is your objection strategic or is it substantive? Or is the strategic claim being used to advance a substantive preference -- which I think is a problem in these discussions.

      I think the Obama/Biden policy line is substantively what does the most to keep things on the ground from getting much worse, while the vote maximizing strategy would be to be more pro-Israel. Moving to the left of Obama/Biden is strictly worse on both. https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1263329491033694209 …

      But in the actual world we're seeing is option 3 supported on a bipartisan basis (enthusiastically by GOP, reluctantly and with hand-wringing by Dems). That's the reality of policy which seems objectionable if one actually believes in human rights.

          Your inability to see how much worse things can get than the status quo is probably the main source of our disagreement here.

          I've been to East Jerusalem and Ramallah and I think things are pretty bad. Can they get worse? Sure. But right now there are real people living in a hell on earth. I'm opposed to a politics that supports that that status quo.
