Political side of Gaza...

...I've noticed a lot of coverage given to "no confidence" votes by supporters of the Palestinians who are decidedly anti-Bibi-style-Israel, and the analysis over what this could mean for support for Biden. We've seen a number of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests in Chicago.

The plight of the Gazans should not come down to political calculus, but from many perspectives, that die has been cast.

I haven't seen much coverage about U.S. Jewish voter support for Biden, or support from non-Jewish voters who still strongly support Israel. I assume Biden's political people are all over this. For example--if Biden were to turn around, reject Israel, deny aid, etc., and become staunchly pro-Palestinian in all that that might entail regarding our Mideast policy; how would his national political support fare? It seems to me that he is in needle-threading mode, trying to assuage all sides, which might be a square-peg/round-hole mission.
