Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris has a chance to chart a different path with the war-weary public.

He says if Israel pulls the U.S. into a war in the Middle East , the Democrats are almost certain to lose the election regardless of whom Harris selected.

Zelizer says Harris risks being branded a warmonger by association, while Trump portrays himself as the dealmaker who "started no new wars".

Unless Harris signals clearly that she will no longer bankroll Israeli aggression, Netanyahu will continue to push the region toward war.

He has been trying to provoke Hezbollah for months .

If Biden 's past decisions suggest that he could commit U.S. troops on Israel ’s behalf, it would give Netanyahu exactly what he wants.
