General Discussion

In 2024, they actually were less kneejerk Pro Israel than the US typically has been. You could say the withholding the bigs bombs given the use they would be put to was too little, too late and had no impact on Netanyahu.

Politically part of the problem is that some of the better known US Jewish advocacy groups reject not just politicians rejecting actions of Israel's right wing government, but of mainstream Jewish groups like J Street. AIPAC in particular, at least around a decade ago, claimed they did not assess what policies should be, they just supported Israel. Polls of Non orthodox Jewish people showed that the position of J Street was more supported, but AIPAC has always had more money and was willing to use it against any legislator who disagreed.

Add to that the fact that evangelicals, at this point, might support Netanyahu at a far higher percent than non Orthodox Jews. The combination means that in many places, even the smallest deviance from supporting Israel is politically dangerous. Ask yourselves why calling for a boycott of Israel is illegal in many states that allow you to call for a boycott of another state!
