I am all for killing the messenger, if the messenger is the one who is causing the biggest problems.

As sundin13 has already pointed out, taking a firmer stance against Israel comes with the risk of losing votes. I'd say it would lose easily more votes than the current course of the Biden administration, because support for Israel is something that both Democrats and Republicans agree on.

(RolStoppable, that first sentence makes no sense to me lol. The one abt killing the messenger.)

In any case, did you not read my response to Sundin13? Cutting aid to Israel and having U.S. utilize its leveraging power in stopping further Israeli aggression would be an extremely popular move amongst (non-Republican) Americans. I already provided a poll backing this claim, see my response to Sundin13. Are you genuinely telling me that Biden reaching a ceasefire agreement prior to the election would actually cause more harm than help for the Dems? Especially when the opposing party is sporting the line of “Finish them.”?

I am refering to you when I talk about the messenger.

I did read your response to sundin, and I also read his response. I agree with him that such polls have little to no value.

Since Netanyahu absolutely wants to have a war, pressuring Israel into a ceasefire agreement would take nothing short of providing no aid to Israel anymore AND threatening them with sanctions. This wouldn't bode well for the American election.
