The bolded is absolutely not true, any US Presidents has many options what it comes to Israel that do not involve clandestine operations or sabotage.
We provide most of their funding, we provide most of their arms, and we are their chief protectors when it comes to diplomatic institutions (like the UN) all around the world.
Joe Biden absolutely had leverage over Israel, he just chose not to exercise it. Israel is a client state, it needs to be repeated over and over.

I believe Americans confuse all this funding we provide Israel as a one-sided benevolent gesture, which is why they believe we have so much power over what Israel can and can't do.
It is one-sided gesture, israel is our welfare state, us taxpayers additionally help fund Israelis Healthcare and a segment to not work and focus on religion
Do you see the irony in how condescending this post is, given your apparent lack of understanding of the U.S.–Israel relationship? No one who truly follows this issue closely would say something as absurd as:
“But the only way he was going to stop what was taking place was through threats of military conflict with Israel or clandestine operations to sabotage its offensive efforts. We know that was not going to happen.”
That statement clearly shows that the person either doesn’t understand what they’re talking about—or is deliberately being dishonest.

It is not one-sided.
The post above proves my point. What's ironic is you dapping the post while trying to tell me what I don't understand.
Imagine if the united states didn't have to spend 1 trillion on defense per year, imagine the type of services we could provide if we were a vessel state like israel.
We've spent over 300 billion propping up israel

.this 300 billion could have went to 300 inner cities rebuilding infrastructure

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts
Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid, including military assistance. That aid has come under heightened scrutiny over the course of Israel’s conflicts with Hamas and Iran.

How has united states citizens benefited from israel being over 300 billion of wasted tax dollars?
Ok, if you claim that the relationship is two sided, then provide the argument. What benefits does the US get from Israel that we can't get from other Middle Eastern powers, such as Saudi, the UAE, or Qatar? How is it in the American interest to continue being their chief benefactor financially, militarily, and diplomatically?
What Israel did is obviously genocide and Dems (along with anyone who isn't a POS) should be against it on general principle.
But people overrate the electoral importance of this, it's not why Trump won. Dems could've taken any position on Gaza and they still would've lost. Even if it never happened, they still would've lost. Trump's cult is unfortunately too fervent and there are too many people who would simply never vote for a black woman in the current anti-woke social climate.

See, I think the issue is actually the fact that the Democrats were aiding and abetting the genocide so they couldn't credibly make the moral case in the past election. Although I grant you that it's probably pretty annoying for someone who doesn't have a deep moral revulsion to the bombing and mutilation of children to be made conscious of their immorality by those who do. Like, I think this video is a pretty instructive Rorschach test if you ask people which of these two groups is the problem:
It was more like the Democrats were asking their potential voters to kill someone else's kids to save themselves. A truly disgraceful situation to put voters in, and it was not necessary. I don't begrudge anyone who refused to kill a child to save themselves.
Evidently not the Democratic Party.

The reason that the Dems lost is the same reason they took the wrong position on the genocide. Evacuated moral core, no actual principles, can't stand for anything meaningful. The world in which they took the right position on Gaza is a world in which they have overcome their completely feckless donor-driver political ideology is a world in which they could have won the election. They didn't lose because they took the wrong position on Gaza, they took the wrong position on Gaza because they are losers.
I disagree. Kamala was actually in a pretty good position to win in August of 2024 because she flipped the script and became the change candidate, signalling a different path from the incumbent administration on multiple fronts, including Gaza. Then she changed course and committed to being business as usual, and starting drowning, and died. She could have won that election if she didn't make critical self-inflicted mistakes.
The Republicans are going to nominate some batshyt MAGA fascist like Winsome Earle-Sears and she's going to crush the centrist triangulated Democratic nominee like Josh Shapiro.
its funny and sad ar the same time
