• If you think that’s all it would take, that that many Americans care more for the Palestinians than do support Israel, then I think you may have been consuming not enough diverse media.

    Just because there are many loud opponents doesn’t mean the votes he’d lose from pro-Israel blocks would be made up by the anti-genocide voters.

      Would be a more productive use of the administration’s time than a rule that can be undone just as easily.

      You’re absolutely correct that many Americans don’t care about Palestinian people, but the ones that do could very well swing the election. Each day the lip service continues that number grows. We are currently at “I’m warning you, for real this time” levels.

        Maybe some of the dozen of you, but then you remember that at the end of the day, you only have two options, and one is definitely the better option, even if it’s not a good situation. Be critical, that’s good and healthy, but it should not matter come Nov.

          There are more than a dozen Muslim Americans dude and your patronizing of the pain in their community is everything wrong with libs.

            You think that me exaggerating the relatively low number people that are being critical of Biden is patronizing to all Muslim Americans, but you saying that all of the entire community is so mad that you’re at, “I’m earning you, for real this time” levels, isn’t? This feels like more of an insult to the Muslim community than saying there aren’t a enough willing to sway the election.

            Edit: Also I never mentioned anything about the pain they’re going through. I empathize and personally not happy with the current state of affairs, but I’m gonna go out and cast my vote for Biden in November, unless somehow, someone more progressive leap frogs him and Trump isn’t eligible. So I very much didn’t patronize the situation and grief, just the numbers.
