“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Given that the US genuinely cannot directly control what the Netanyahu administration does, I guess I’m asking what you want him to do differently?

    Make US aid contingent on not committing genocide would be a great help. Reagan stopped the bombing of West Beirut with a literal phone call. The US has that much influence on Israel.

        Doesn’t mean Biden is doing anything about it. Hell he didn’t even condemn the warcrimes or call for a ceasefire.

          That is not something Biden can do. It is not under his control.
