[quote=Ted King]What's super-stupid is that if her vote helps Trump get elected, the Gazans will almost surely be much worse off then with Biden as president (even for how much Biden clearly leans toward Israel).
Biden has to have an attitude adjustment. His current policy is not sustainable.
This article was next to the Tom Tomorrow cartoon about Lieberman that anonymouse1 posted.
How Biden Boxed Himself In on Gaza
The president draws on 50 years of unflagging support for Israel, and not even a humanitarian crisis can dislodge him from that viewpoint.
For Biden, Israel is not just a foreign-policy issue. As Haim Saban, the Israeli American businessman who’s raising millions for the re-election campaign, put it, Biden is pro-Israel in his gut. “It’s in his kishkes.”
Biden has at times been forward-thinking on domestic policy and flexible in updating his old-school thinking when it comes to anti-monopoly policy or reproductive rights. As a retail politician, he’s eager to listen to workers on the issues they care about.
On foreign policy, he has often strayed from the Washington establishment, withdrawing from Afghanistan and avoiding knee-jerk hawkishness on China. Not so on Israel and Palestine. And that willingness to buck the establishment has given him confidence in the face of outside criticism, and an allergy to changing course.

But... why would the Gazans be worse off with Trump than Biden? The whack-job far righties LOOOOOOVE Israel, and nothing about Trump's prior stint in the White House suggested weakening support for Israel.
I'm confused by your question. But I'll just say because PAB45 is even more pro-Israel and pro-BiBi and has none of the humanitarian concerns that Biden has.
