    I’m agreeing with you, but if you look at the demographics, you’ll see there are several categories besides just Palestinians who do not think Israel is justified in their attacks on Gaza.

      62% of the US Jewish population supports Israel’s actions. That’s 4.6 million people + an unknown number of non-Jews that also support it. Is the number of Palestinians and their supporters higher than 4.6 million? I legitimately don’t know, but if it isn’t, then my point would still stand: Biden denouncing Israels actions at this point would piss off even more Jewish people and put him at even greater risk of losing the election, while also having the side effect of anti-semitism spiraling out of control.
