    I think the US is about done with Netanyahu. The media is already starting to talk about the fractures between him and Biden.

        Biden isn’t going to do a damn thing to fundamentally alter our Israel policy. He’s been hawkish on Palestine for decades, and despite how much the youth vote disapproves of the war, there’s also a substantial part of the base as well as independents who strongly support Israel.

        There have been several opinion polls recently showing that a majority of Americans support Israel over Palestine, even as Israel has killed 20x as many people as Hamas.

        Biden is in zugzwang. Keep supporting Israel’s slaughter, and the youth vote will stay home. Oppose it, and he’ll be labeled a Hamas sympathizer or an anti-Semite. Continue to do nothing, and he looks weak and ineffective. Every move is the wrong move.
