    Perhaps in some primaries you had the odd candidate here and there who opposed continued weapons sales to Israel, but the presidential election has absolutely not had it ‘on the the ballot’ because that would imply you had one candidate who had a significantly different stance on the issue to the other.

        Indeed

        Wait what tricked me into saying that. Absolutely not indeed, I firmly believe that whatever democrat hand were to lie on the tiller, you’d have a policy that at least had the goal of minimising the loss of Palestinian life, even if that goal proved too difficult to negotiate well. I do not believe the same of Trump - I think his callous disregard for everyone other than himself is absolutely evident. So I think if that is an issue to you and you agree with my base truths, then I think it is on the ballot.
