That’s what is going to be really frightening in the years to come. I can very easily see the endless artificial defense of Israel building up a broad public disgust year after year after year. And then one day, AIPAC reaches into the wallet and its empty. Or Americans just stop giving a shit about the Suez for whatever reason. Or it becomes more profitable to hate Israel than to love it.
Just like with our reversal of public opinion on Afghani Freedom Fighters and East Asian Business Investment and NAFTA. The neoliberal to fascist turn is going to be a whiplash.
And it’s going to catch American Jews regardless of their support or opposition of Israel, putting them right up there with the treatment of Muslims and Hispanics. Trump’s admin is already infested with these guys, practically begging to go full “Protocols of The Elders of Zion”. It’s going to make the Khmer Rouge look like a pillow fight.
And then one day, AIPAC reaches into the wallet and its empty.
Considering the huge pipeline of money that flows from the US taxpayers to Israel to AIPAC to the US politicians who keep the money flowing (with a big side channel to US weapons manufacturers and everyone with a slice of that), I’m not going to be holding my breath for that to happen. AIPAC won’t run out of money before the USA runs out of money.
Maybe. But when the crash comes, it’ll come hard.

Analysis is a bit hyperbolic but the thesis stands.
I think many American Jews know this too hence why they not all of them support israeli genocide out of self preservation.
But this train has left the station, we just don’t know how bad the place we going gonna get.
