      Of course there is that, but don’t kid yourself, there are a lot of pro-Israel voters who really do support whatever Israel does. And as I mentioned, those voters care more about supporting Israel than they care about most other issues. They won’t vote for a candidate who doesn’t support Israel no matter what, and they vote (and donate) in large numbers in key swing states.

      And, like I already mentioned, the voters who don’t support Israel no matter what are mostly opposed to the genocide of Palestinians, but that isn’t the most important voting issue for those voters. The few voters for which stopping Israel from committing genocide haven’t historically voted (or donated) in sufficient numbers to swing any state one way or the other.

      The upcoming Presidential election might be the first one where Palestine shows up on exit polls as a priority issue, but since neither candidate is willing to criticize Israel, it’s hard to predict where those voters will take their votes, other than home.
