It would be strategically counterproductive for Israel if their stated intentions were true. This won’t make hezbollah “uncouple” from Hamas.

The intention is really to start a war so big the US has to step in, which would be catastrophic for everyone, Israelis included.

Sounds like the calculus is simple. You either push your candidate to embrace a solution that has majority support with the democratic party voter base or risk losing a chunk of voters who’ve decided that genocide is their red line. I don’t see how attempting to browbeat them is going to work. Especially as doing that gives license to the democratic party to shift the Overton window even further right.

Idk, American support for Israel doesn’t seem like it would stretch to risking US troops. Weapons are one thing, American lives are another.

I could see Trump trying to fob this onto Blackwater or whatever they’re called now.
