    What’s to explain? There’s more potential voters for Biden who support Israel than oppose it. Especially given the inconsistent nature of the voters who oppose. Biden is already at risk of losing the election. He can’t afford to alienate them.

    The far left is a small sliver of the Democratic party. And they don’t matter in presidential elections because they mostly live in democratic states. Biden needs the support of moderates in swing states, and that means supporting Israel.

      supporting an apartheid state while it commits a genocide doesn’t seem like the play you think it is.

        I’m sure that’s what you want to believe, but it’s just not true. The political landscape is what it is right now.
