Not a single thing you wrote takes away from the fact that this has very real political implications for Biden at the end of the year. Are you suggesting that Biden isn’t considering how this will play in November? Because that would just be silly.
I’m not suggesting that they’d be weighing whether or not to do anything fundamentally different with respect to our relationship with Israel. I’m suggesting that they’d be weighing whether or not to come out with a more forceful messaging strategy for encouraging them to throttle back a bit and stop with the whole war crimes thing. There’s a very real difference between dropping all support for Israel as a state and conveying a stronger sense of urgency for the innocent civilians that are being indiscriminately bombed. As it stands, voters are watching us not only do absolutely nothing to reduce bloodshed, but also actively send money and resources to the ones producing it.

No. I’m suggesting that nobody in Washington really has any intention of doing anything differently with regard to Israel.
