“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.
I agree with the point you’re making, but the question of why people in the U.S. at least care more about this conflict than the others does have an answer, and I think it’s that the Israel-Palestine conflict has much more of a relevant history to Americans and our government is much more directly involved in it (or at least perceived to be) than the others. Pro-Israel support groups have existed here since Israel was formed and pro-Palestinian groups have existed here for at least a few decades as well. So, there’s already an existing activist structure to respond when something like Oct. 7th happens.
