Supporters of Israel, principally Israeli Americans and Evangelists, are extremely well organised. They donate. They go to meetings. They call their Congresspersons. And when they vote, they treat this as a single issue.

More broadly, Israel is an advanced democracy and technological jewel with which we have a close economic, military and political alliance. You stick with your friends through the bad times.

Some friends, other friends like Canada can apparently be beat up no problem.

Yeah, until the very moment Canada elects a right-populist/neo-fascist government. We all know what Trump and his administration are up to.
