Two things:
A. Dems (and Repubs when they aren't in power) say this because they think it's what makes it 'real' to US voters and compels them to vote. I don't think they are wrong.
B. As leaders they have a duty to reflect the best of us and recognize the humanity of people who don't live here.

most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant
Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches.
This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.
I wonder if a hard-line successor will assume power and further destabilize the region just like every other time this has happened
