I think maybe she was effective because it's not really a new argument.

In Israel for 40 or 50 years, especially on the right, they've been arguing that every time Israel gets in a war or makes a peace deal, it's the United States pressuring Israel by offering more aid or saying they're going to withdraw aid if Israel doesn't agree.

So even the war in Gaza was caused by Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2006 or 2007.

in which the United States promised more aid.

The Egyptian peace treaty was based on the United States promising massive aid, and that hasn't worked out at all.

Egypt is still a hostile country to Israel.

They helped Hamas get armed.

Withdrawing from southern Lebanon, Israel withdrew without any security arrangements whatsoever.

Again,

In Israel, they felt that the United States was unduly influencing Israel because of promises for extra aid or threats to withdraw aid.

So it's not a new argument, and a lot of Israelis think they'll be better off without the U.S.

financial aid in place.

Well, don't forget Dan Feinstein was also penetrated by the Chinese intelligence for many years and not much really happened.

Look, Swalwell, we took a look at his mortgage.

He bought and purchased a home in Washington, D.C.

that he declared as his principal residence while not having any verifiable address in California.

According to the U.S.

Constitution, you have to be an inhabitant of the state that you represent.

California law, Code 349, you actually have to have a physical address and live there.

Swalwell has big financial problems.
