Harris, if you're listening... Your position on this issue is very unpopular.

Yes but money speaks more and louder in politics rather than votes.

There are deeper root causes for the political class' dedication to Israel to the point of genocide. While I suppose capitalist class dictatorship could be euphemistically referred to as money, the political class true believers in the project like Genocide Joe and by extension his lockstep veep, see a strategic value in Israel's constant violence as a European settler colony. Biden even had a famous quote about the need for an Israel, it is about American domination of the entire region to control the petrodollar and disrupt a locus of national independence.

These are cynical people, not simply sellouts. They think genocide is worth it. They also want your vote so they do some kabuki, present the half-assed aesthetic that they care about "ceasefire" while maintaining intense material support for the genocide. They are banking on their electorate being accepting of genocide.
