The only way it makes sense is if the people who’d not vote over Israel don’t actually care about Palestineans so much as being on the “right”/socially cool side of the issue.
This statement is incredibly disrespectful to the people who are currently losing relatives in the 10s and 100s due to Biden’s actions. Like hell they’re not in this to be on the socially cool side of an issue shut the fuck up.
Unconditional US support from 2021-2024 is what got Israel there? Are you of the view that if we dumped them completely, right now, Israel would collapse or have no ability to prosecute their war against the Palestinians? To the best of my understanding, this is not the case, and I do not believe Biden has the ability to flatly dump Israel singlehandedly; I believe we have treaties with them, which are the law of the US and would need to be nullified by congress, which is never happening, and cannot reasonably be laid exclusively at Biden’s feet.
Israel would collapse or have no ability to prosecute their war against the Palestinians?
Not collapse, but they wouldn’t be able to continue bombing Gaza to the ground. I can’t find the source (Edit: But their reserves are too limited). They’d also need to actually think of their neighbors’ responses to their actions (remember how Sisi threatened to go to war over Gaza until Blinken had a “talk” with him), but let’s set that aside because it’s not something Biden can control single-handedly.
Biden has been bypassing Congress to send them weapons, pressing Congress for Israeli aid and on top of all that defending them at the UN (preventing measures such as UN-led sanctions from taking place). These are things Biden could stop doing right now that would materially impact Israel’s campaign in Gaza, and the fact that he’s not doing that is causing him to hemorrhage voters.

Due to Biden’s actions, or due to the actions of the government of Israel on which Biden does not have a leash?
He literally does though. Israel only got this far because of unconditional US support.
