      There’s no US politician that has any chance of being elected that would be any better about Israel. It all comes down to two things: Israel is our only real ally in the Middle East and AIPAC.

      They could literally be building camps to gas Muslims and expanding their plans beyond Gaza and we’d likely still support them regardless of which party is in office at the time.

          Bernie is great, but I think this is one of the things he’d inevitably have to compromise on, unless he somehow negotiated a new major ally in the Middle East that made Israel less vital to us.
