Fair enough. Honestly at this point it's a humanitarian issue, not an electoral one.

In terms of the election, both candidates are bad for Gaza (Trump more so) and Trump is also bad on basically every other issue unless you're a MAGA republican, rich or a fascist. Obviously any sane person must vote for Biden anyway.

In humanitarian terms, Biden's response has been a total and utter disaster and anybody who values all human life equally should be disgusted with him. He has possibly the most leverage to change the situation of anybody outside Israel, so the question is, what type of person do you want to be? Do you want to be the person who stays all chummy with the one committing the vast majority of the atrocities and tries to shield him from criticism, or do you want to be the person who calls out injustice when he sees it? Because I am certain that he sees it.

For the election I do think he should be concerned that not all voters will be so pragmatic. But much more importantly he should do the right thing for the 2 million plus people that are currently suffering collective punishment because of the actions of a small minority of them. This isn't about getting elected, it's about respect for human life.
