I’m hard-pressed to believe that Biden and Harris actively support genociding Gazans. They are not psychopaths like Trump.
I believe the issue is far more complex than most give credit, and if it were that simple, I’m pretty sure Biden and Harris would rather not be associated in any capacity to the actions of Bibi in Gaza. But naturally, they have more granular internal polling that probably details subsets of these populations and in critical states that they need to be wary of.
Moreover AIPAC is one of the strongest lobbyists in Washington. You said yourself have powerful lobbying is. You saw how much money was poured into tiny primaries just to get rid of Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman to successfully derail their campaign, right?
Israel has both an online misinformation troll farm akin to Russia’s IRA troll farm. There’s a fine line to play to keep Israel from deploying all its resources to derail the Harris reelection effort.
I agree that most of the “slight” resistance to Israel as of late has largely been ineffective. I just think that’s a product of how critical this election is unfortunately and truly don’t believe that Biden and Harris want anything to do with being indirectly or directly linked to Netanyahu’s actions if they weren’t caught between a rock and a hard place in this election. Which is why I am trying to find common-ground with those most vocal advocates for Palestinians in saying that you need to join me in going to the lion’s den of places like r/IsraelPalestine subreddits and arguing with any pro-Israeli on Facebook and so forth until one-by-one we influence the polls, because if it was a complete slam-dunk, then there would be no choice but for the administration to respond. After all, no administration is going to go against something that has 90%+ consensus in an election year. I mean shit, I got banned form r/news and r/worldnews for spreading the word on Israeli atrocities before it became a bit more mainstream on reddit. Nevertheless my voice among many others can make a difference. But I focused on influencing my fellow Americans instead of shooting myself in the foot by possibly undermining the election success of the only administration who may actually change — for you and I both know certain as shit that Trump will not change.
