“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Given that the US genuinely cannot directly control what the Netanyahu administration does, I guess I’m asking what you want him to do differently?

    Make US aid contingent on not committing genocide would be a great help. Reagan stopped the bombing of West Beirut with a literal phone call. The US has that much influence on Israel.

      Biden does not control that aid. Congress does.

        Doesn’t mean Biden is doing anything about it. Hell he didn’t even condemn the warcrimes or call for a ceasefire.

          You said:

          That is not something Biden can do. It is not under his control.
