Obviously less, to the extent that anyone can predict geopolitical events that far in the future. I think the only counter-argument is the idea that an Israel that isn't receiving massive amounts of US aid will be invaded, but I don't find that argument convincing. It's an open secret that Israel has nuclear weapons, and even if the US stops arming Israel tomorrow I don't think Iran or their proxies are dumb enough to think that the US won't come rushing right back in if Israel is invaded.

The protestors want an end to the US facilitating genocide. Most Democrats want fewer, if any, aid to Israel, yet Democrat leadership refuses to budge.

You blame voters for "being willing to let Trump win". Why not blame leadership for hurting their own chances at election by going against their own base?

All of them, frankly. It's against US law to provide weapons to a nation that is using said weapons to commit human rights violations. My expectation is that the US follows its own laws.

Oh you mean that one weapons shipment that Biden very publicly refused to send, before he sent many more weapons?

Because everyone knows that Trump is not going to move on this issue, or really do anything good at all. Dems are supposed to be better than Trump, or at least they certainly insist that they are. People holding Kamala to a higher standard are taking the Dems at their word.

Leftists are some of the only people who paid attention or cared about Palestine before last year.

Hillary Clinton would have almost certainly won if her entire platform wasn't based around the idea that she didn't have to do anything good because, hey, what do you want to do, vote for Trump?

Blame her, because she is the one who fucked it up.

Just because you're not in on the joke doesn't mean it's not a joke

Civilians are not allowed in war zone, so they couldn't be civilians.

Real IDF logic right here. The people of Gaza have literally nowhere to go that isn't being bombed to hell by Israel. Children are also being summarily shot in the head by Israeli troops, but I'm sure you'll find a way to deflect blame there as well.

Hamas militants dequise as civilians, without considering the consequences on the surrounding civilians

Wait, so are there civilians in a war zone or not?

You probably should care, though. The DNC should absolutely care. Stein is not wrong that the Greens might stop Kamala from winning Michigan.

The Gaza Heath Ministry has consistently provided accurate death counts in this and previous conflicts, to the point that their estimates are considered reliable by the US State Department. Only recently, since Israel escalated their genocide on Palestinians, have their figures been called into question because they make Israel look bad (as they should).

Thanks for the lesson in semantics, but it doesn't address my point in the slightest. Sort of ironic I guess.
