    He did it in 2021. He can also stop aid right now and stop blocking a UN ceasefire. It would legitimize the Israeli left’s efforts and possibly cause a new government in Israel.

      And lose a few million Votes by turning his back on Israel. Hmm, potential couple hundred thousand idiots don’t Vote or several million don’t. You desire is stupid.

        Polling does not have American support for Israel that high, and certainly not in battleground states. It’s mostly in safe states.

          Not relevant. Polls didn’t have support for Palestine that high either, until the division propaganda anyway.

            You mean the headline news articles about Israel shooting aid convoys because “Hamas” is with them. Only it turns out that it’s the local police trying to distribute aid in an orderly manner? That propaganda?

            Or the beheaded babies that turned out to be a poorly orchestrated conspiracy to lie about an already horrible event?

            Or the accusations about UNRWA that our own intelligence community rated “low confidence”, which is Intel speak for either unprovable or utter bullshit?

            Yeah. There’s been some propaganda going on but it’s not who you assume it is.

              No, I mean nothing of the sort. Oh, and again, none of that is relevant as the subject isn’t your moral condemnation, oh holier than thou dip stick, but in actuality the subject is US Voters that shall crucify any politician stupid enough to suggest Israel shall not be protected. So stamp your feet and call all those suggesting you pay attention genocidists, but reality shall continue as it has been where politicians know better what the balance of Votes is.

              Oh, and the propaganda is the same ol’ same ol’
              nothing new, you are just the latest in a long line of useful idiots. Pootie is so proud, your ancestors, not so much.

                Lmao. American politicians have been infamously out of touch for 40 years. Universal background checks for guns sits at 80+% support and doesn’t get a bill. 57% of Americans want healthcare coverage for all guaranteed by the government. Oh and 50% of Americans say Israel’s response has gone too far.

                Considering no one is seriously talking about regime change or successor states in US politics, that pretty clearly means there’s plenty of votes out there for Biden tying weapons to food aid and robust enforcement of the laws of war.
