US will fund Israel whether it’s a “democracy” or not
Congresswoman Susan Wild, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, thinks Democrats are stupid – or at least poorly informed – when it comes to Israel and growing sympathy for Palestinians.
She was responding to a new Gallup poll indicating Democrats now sympathize more with Palestinians than with Israelis by a 49 to 38 percent margin.
Wild, who serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee, said during a recent online event hosted by Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania, an organization that endorses her, that she warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about coming changes in the Democratic Party while visiting the region in February with the lobby group J Street.
“What I said to him was, ‘I’m worried that in a decade, let’s say – it’s not going to be this year, next year – in a decade, maybe a little longer, Israel may find itself not enjoying the broad-spread support that it currently does from the US Congress.’”
She added, “I think that is a very real threat to Israel.”

No, the US will not fund a non-democratic Israel. The new generation of young politicians will see to that.
