    We’re going in circles. Anyone who abstains from voting in protest of Israel support will be allowing someone to win that supports Israel more. It’s that simple.

      If Biden’s support of genocide makes him unacceptable, then people will not vote for him. They will not vote for trump either. Which means they will either vote 3rd party, vote uncommitted, or not vote at all.

      All of which certainly increases the likelihood that Trump wins. Which is Netanyahu’s goal.

      Biden should change US policy on Israel to mitigate these losses. Otherwise he will lose Michigan, and likely the election.

      The point is that, for many people, Never Again actually meant Never Again. Funding a genocide is a nonstarter for many who were taught that the Holocaust must never again occur
