The problem is Netanyahu. He was elected by certain interest groups to fulfill a permanent solution. He's quite a trumpian criminal. His actions are backfiring badly among American millennials.
In the long run he will have damaged Israel badly.

With Zionism losing the narrative, it's nice to see AIPAC being unable to even take down a moderate.
May goodness prevail and the genocide cease.
My greatest fear is that by allowing that Orange pedophile and the rest of the cult take over all 3 branches, this effort will be null and void.
What the fuck is the point in getting anti-genocide politicians the Dem ticket if Trump is just going to prevent any Dems from winning by stealing the elections?
This was the fucking point I was trying to make to people in 2024. The reason to vote Kamala wasn't for Kamala. The reason was because its far easier to defeat genocidal liberals in a democracy than it is to defeat genocidal fascists in an autocracy.
Refusing to vote Kamala enabled Trump's victory, and thus was the pro-genocide move.
It was the Democrat's strategy that resulted in low voter turnout. The votes were up for grabs, they ran away from them.It's not like the campaign was unaware of what messaging and policies were unpopular. They chose to ignore it. They chose to run to the right on policy and messaging.If they gave a shit about being an opposition to fascism, about actually winning, they would have heeded all the warning signs and run a different campaign. Instead they prioritized the interest of their capital donors, and gave a fuck you to their constituents that they are supposed to represent.

The folks who refused to vote for Kamala over the genocide were politically irrelevant — a fact that sends to infuriate them and those who want to blame them. You are completely right, of course, but they didn't cost Kamala the election by themselves. It was rural swing state voters who could give a fuck about the Palestinian genocide assuming they didn't celebrate it.
Why exactly the vote went the way it did, I can't say. I think it was pure economics. But no one gave a shit about the genocide in the states that decided the election. (Not strictly true of course because Detroit has the largest Palestinian population in the US, I believe, and there are people who care about it everywhere including myself, but in any event they didn't swing Michigan.)
It's an interesting dynamic. AIPAC provides a clear path for politicians willing to toe the line of absolute, unthinking support of Israel in all things. But AIPAC only works towards Israel's strategic depth if that support is truly absolute. They still have so much strategic depth that AIPAC occupies itself by denying even the conversation about how much support Israel should get through actions this one - there is no conversation, they must get whatever they ask for and anyone who disagrees is an anti Semite.
The problem with this all-or-nothing approach is that it lets them get completely out flanked - they can't control someone who never wanted AIPAC support in the first place.
