Activists say the reason for this is that they do not have the same juice within the Republican party as they do among Democrats, and have little ability to influence Trump’s policy approach. So they continue to focus on the party where their influence remains.

    So tired of centrist whining and refusal to acknowledge what they did. If they hadnt backed a genocide we wouldnt all be in this mess. And they did that because they were too cowardly and unprincipled to stand up and stand with the right side of history. How much hubris and stupidity do you need to try to run a pro genocide campaign from the party that thinks of itself as the left.

      They weren’t “backing genocide”. They repeatedly called for a cease fire, hostage release, and two state solution. That’s 180° reversed from genocide.

        Biden pretended to care whenever he was in front of a camera. Then he made sure Israel was protected and well supplied, and had all the support the US military could give them.

            Did they have the right to conduct the Nakba? The thing where they stole Palestinians land, murdered a bunch, conducted biological terrorism and herded them into armed prison camps where they casually kill them and block everything about their daily life?

            You know, the stuff that led to Hamas existing in the first place, and Iran launching those missiles. Was that all just fine? You want to start this with the first missile launched against Israel, it seems.

              If you’re going to go back to the Nakba you might as well go back to the beginning of time when primitive tribes were fighting and bleeding over the same land, it’s not relevant to the current discussion.

              Israel is committing a genocide, that needs to stop.

              At the same time, the world decided Israel had a right to exist following the Holocaust.
