The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.

Multiple administration officials in press briefings on Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heart-breaking,” “tragic,” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.

      There’s actually been articles about that. Apparently it’s super important to the “mega” donors, but small to mid sized donors are writing letters telling him to stop support. Combined with polling in the majority among his base it paints a mostly clear picture that those Mega Donors are who he listens to. The only thing I haven’t seen is battleground state polling. It’s entirely possible their strategy depends on a certain state and that state considers supporting Israel a necessity.

      What kind of a mind fuck would it be if Biden was the first modern democrat to win without the popular vote?

      Israeli PACs are currently pumping EVERY dollar available into every politician available and aren’t gonna stop until every Palestinian is dead.
