MODERATORS
If the majority of congress is on board, then why repeatedly circumvent them and put himself as the sole person responsible for these wildly unpopular actions during his reelection campaign?
Because he represents the country?
Spending is controlled by Congress. Foreign policy is largely handled by the President, though spending and authorization of the use of force has to be approved by congress.
Also if he's using it in his campaign why do you think it's unpopular? Do you believe they don't do polling?
You may be in one of those internet information silos and not have a good understanding of what's happening. Hamas committed genocide. People are against genocide. A lot of people are attempting to "both sides" this and claim "uhhh... Israel genocide too" but that's insane and only makes the Pro-Palestine movement look like lunatics. People cosplay as Hamas members at Palestine marches, literally cosplaying as people that committed genocide. Again, looks like lunatics. Attacks on synagogues, and jewish businesses. The dog whistles "from the river to the sea." sound an awful lot like blood and soil. Trying to discredit a democracy. Violent movent, misogynistic and homophobic leadership, anti-democracy, genocide.... looks an awful lot like a fascist movement.
The best argument in support of Israel is a five minute conversation with a pro-palestine activist. There's too much hatred in that movement, and given the inability of that movement to separate itself from Hamas, it seems Hamas is the source of all of this hatred on display is the group Israel is currently fighting against. Send them the needed weapons to eliminate the blight on humanity that is Hamas.
Once it's done the children on the internet claiming to be socialists while supporting a fascist organization lead by billionaires in Qatar and a genocidal maniac in an underground lair in what's left of Gaza will soon forget and move on to the next thing their hormones have them outraged over. The tankie socialist kids don't vote anyway, (or if they do it's for some bullshit third party) so why bother trying to please people whose heads are so full of ideological bullshit and propaganda originating from Iran they are completely incapable of even seeing what they look like to people outside of their information silo?
