    Not just funding but hedging against the 7 million Jewish-Americans still sympathetic to Israel and who are also a key voting bloc for Democrats.

    Actually it doesn’t seem to be a good tactical move even if we forget that we’re supposed to also have morals:

      Interesting poll, I want to see all the data instead of it being reported second-hand. I have much respect for Hasan but he’s an activist in this aspect, not a journalist. Moreover I find it interesting that both Michigan and Wisconsin were side-stepped, two swing states second only to PA in importance for Harris. GA and AZ tertiary.

      Morality is a fickle beast when I know for a fact there isn’t a single Gazan whose life would be better under Donald, forgetting the outright doom this spells for Ukrainians… Again, morally speaking. And that no matter what position Harris takes she’ll be more open to change than the alternative.

      Still I think if the polls continue to show this and shift as they have since Israel’s response to October 7th then you’ll continue to see a more aggressive posture from Harris. There simply is no way they’re going to get ahead of the polls here until we as the activists continue to influence public opinion on this matter.
