Trump already said he’s all in on supporting Israel. To appease her Muslim voters, could she back out of her promises of supporting genocide?

    To repeat a quote I’ve been seeing around, it’s far easier to pressure a president than it is to resist a dictator

    Aside from rhetoric, there will be no difference in the actions of the two candidates with regard to Israel.  Both will fully support Israel and supply them with the weapons and intelligence to commit genocide against Palestinians.

      Yeah, definitely can’t be a one policy voter in this election, you have to look at the whole person. Even if you believe in “pro life” which I absolutely don’t, but say that that’s the key issue, even then Trump is still worse in nearly every other way, but single issue voters ignore everything else and focus on their one issue.

      It absolutely sucks, but we’re forced into a 2 party system, which simply means I have to pick the lesser of the two bad choices. I gotta say, Kamala is better than most candidates I’ve voted for at least.

    America will continue to support Israel. There’s money in it. That’s the bottom line for the US. To think differently is naive.

      I concluded a while back that no lives matter to those in charge. We are all expendable if it furthers the goals of power and the almighty dollar.

      Once you accept this, other things start to make more sense.

    They both would let the genocide continue while providing the explosives to do it with.

    I know America faces an existential crisis but no lives would be saved here in this one area

    Both Harris and Trump are all in on supporting Israel. Harris/Biden just offer empty platitudes to make them appear like they care, whereas Trump just openly says it. If Israel can do all that they did in the past 13 months without any actual consequences, then there’s no real difference between the two on this.
