Nope, but that is an important factor that bears consideration. I'm of the opinion that it is nearly impossible to wage war when your enemy cares less about its own civilians than you do, to the point of bragging about how it tries to "martyr" as many civilians on its side as possible.
No one is voting for Trump. However, the way Kamala comes off to them is that she is too arrogant or they are not important enough for her to earn their vote. She just expects them to vote for her because Trump is worse. Imagine people you care for are being mass murdered and starved and someone tells you to wait and see. The problem is that every day we waste waiting is another day that more innocent people die.
Kamala's husband is Jewish. I don't think she's terrified of AIPAC. She probably simply recognizes that Israel has the right to defend itself without going too far in doing so.
Other important factors that bear consideration:
Many of these are debatable.
Why does that matter? Many of the anti-genocide people are Jewish. AIPAC is pro-Israel, not pro-Jewish. Huge difference. Also, what line does Israel have to cross for it to not go "too far" in defending itself? Mass starvation? Collective punishment? Raping and torturing innocent prisoners? Bombing water supplies? Bombing schools? Bombing hospitals? Bombing "safe areas" where people are in tents? Bombing World Central Kitchen vehicles that were traveling on supposedly safe zones? Sniping children?
The genocidal rhetoric is coming from the government in charge, not from an extremist fringe.
The genocidal rhetoric is coming from Hamas and its supporters. Great job ignoring 95% of the post, though.
Cutting off water is a war crime. So we are fine with supporting that?
All of this was proven, even by the UN who found weapons caches stored in Palestinian elementary schools. U.S. intelligence also found evidence that Hamas was (and likely still is) using hospitals for military operations.
No point in responding to someone who is completely bought into propaganda from a far-right government that is sniping children.
As opposed to someone who is completely bought into propaganda from a terrorist organization that lights children on fire in front of their parents? Cool. I'm fine placing you on my ignore list, then.
Have you heard the rhetoric coming from Netanyahu and his cronies? They're spouting genocidal rhetoric AND are acting on it.
What children were burned in front of their parents? Why are you quick to believe a government that is actively dismembering children with bombs and sniping them?
He's ignorant of basic facts about the situation because he doesn't care. He's a liberal who sees this as a moment in which he can bash "Bernie Bros" and the left at large. These people don't care about the brutality of American foreign policy. He's repeating debunked talking points from months ago. It's like a broken record with the defenders of Israel.

There's a whole list of atrocities that Hamas committed on 10/7. They even video recorded a lot of their torturous and murderous actions. I'm not sure why you are attempting to gaslight us into believing that 10/7 wasn't horrific?
Huh? Show me one place where I said 10/7 wasn't horrific. Just because something horrific happened doesn't give Israel a green light to wipe out everyone in Gaza. Also, why are you gaslighting us into believing Israel hasn't crossed the line and has the right to do everything it is doing? Are you able to justify how their horrific actions make Israel any safer?
Israel has absolutely crossed some lines. And Israel isn't "wiping out everyone in Gaza"....not even close to it. Unfortunately, when you are fighting an enemy that has stated that its goal is to murder every single Jewish person in the area, and that has acted on those intentions with devastating consequences, that enemy (in this case, Hamas) cannot be allowed to continue to exist in any meaningful fashion. Hamas knows this, which is why it deliberately uses schools, hospitals, universities, apartment blocks, etc to conduct military operations. The best thing for Palestinians at this point would be for Hamas to cease to exist. Unfortunately, that isn't realistic, but Israel has substantially weakened them.
