Not underestimating that at all, I just think it’s going to take a LOT for the administration to get there. AIPAC’s influence and money have a massive effect on US elections. There’s a reason both parties are so friendly to them even when public opinion is decidedly against Israel.
Money is votes in US elections. I sincerely doubt that the current administration is going to end Citizens United just to shut out Israel.

Because AIPAC’s policy aligns with the military-industrial complex. Funding Israel funds Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, etc, whom funds their campaigns.
Oh yes, I agree. It would be a major major shift.
