EDIT: I really can’t fathom what could be so valuable and appealing about ~~Bibi’s~~ AIPAC’s friendship as to warrant this kind of hit to the campaign.
Not Bibi, but AIPAC and CUFI.
And also, the Democratic party itself is quite Zionist, with Blinken en Shapiro perhaps the most well known Zionists.
Democrats don't want AIPAC and CUFI to support Trump. Wavering on Israel will actually rile up the evangelicals to turn out massively for Republicans.
The sad fact of the matter is that 75% of the American electorate will support Israel regardless of how many kids they kill.
And the remaining 25% are actually split between Republican and Democratic voters and don't hold sway in either party.
Source for those numbers?
The evangelicals are already voting for trump
The Democratic party's disregard for Palestinian voices is costing them a significant amount of support from voters in key states
Hundreds of thousands of committed Democratic voters, hundreds of delegates, and the majority of the country are in support of a permanent ceasefire
