until the Israelis stop him. I don't think they will. They've always known what he is about.

Next election is in 2026?

From Wiki:
"Legislative elections were held in Israel on 1 November 2022 to elect the 120 members of the 25th Knesset. The results saw the right-wing national camp of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu win a parliamentary majority, amid losses for left-wing and Arab parties, as well as gains by the far-right.[1][2][3]"

It's a number of years old now, but it's really poignant and speaks to the disillusionment of the young. Joe is fighting THIS. His loyalty should be to the future of THIS country. I think it is overall, but it is going to be hard for Bernie and AOC to keep the young on board with Joe while Netanyahu razes Gaza and continues the annexation of the West Bank.

Great lyrics to this song:

Is it any Wonder by Keane

I, I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
And so on, but now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on my side
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Sometimes, it's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well, maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme a soundbite
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Good Lord!

(Evanston even fancies itself a "city" - one daren't call it a suburb at the risk of sending its residents into a rage).
