"Despite these polls and the passions raised by the war with Hamas, it is easy to exaggerate the power of Gaza as a motivating issue for voters eight months from no-win November. History suggests that foreign policy issues end up as a minor motif in presidential politics unless American soldiers are dying in combat as they were in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004.”
Yeah, the average American doesn’t care enough about the Israel/Gaza genocide. Like if it was between Biden and a moderate or more progressive candidate that didn’t support Israel’s genocide then maybe. But even then you run up against the generations of Pro-Israel bias that has been fostered in America a lot of people aren’t even aware of. It just won’t matter on election day. Americans will care a lot more about issues that affect them like abortion.
