Because the alternative is that much worse. Simple pragmatism.

Actually no. One will not “allow” it, he will actively participate in it. Gleefully.

You don’t give a shit about Palestinians. Stop using them as political pawns in your corny-ass, edgy teen-tankie bullshit. What you’re doing is shameful.

Oh yeah. Forgot. There’s no other issues at play in a country half the world away.

We (the US) are absolutely complicit in this atrocity. Thing is, we’re good at it and kind of used to it by now. Also, of note, we’re not the ones actively doing the killing. So we can’t vote and fix it. Best we can do is vote for a person who might fix it. Maybe. If every political issue aligns. But first duty is a vote to make sure I can vote again in the future.

We provide the weapons and financial aid with no strings attached, so we are absolutely complicit

Harris isn’t going to fix it. She gave Netanyahu the luxury of a private meeting

“vote to make sure I can vote again in the future”

lol sorry but I if that’s really what’s coming then I don’t think the Democrats are against it; they would have pulled out all the stops to block Trump from even getting on a ballot.
