NEW from me: Biden's support for Israel is fracturing the reproductive rights movement. Repro workers believe Biden is contributing to a repro health crisis in Gaza. Theyโ€™re deeply frustrated with him + the big repro rights groups that are backing him. huffpost.com/entry/biden-isrโ€ฆ

I feel like โ€œPalestineโ€ is a tantrum about other things. Especially the decline of left politics in general. They were just waiting for a wedge issue to come along

Moderate Dems can then absorb the moderate Republicans and simply make the crazies on both sides irrelevant

It started with the TERF Wars, but the requirement that all progressive orgs be in lockstep on every issue has been a disaster.

To be fair, Israel is killing alot of civillians in Palestine, and we do have influence there. It's not a "small" issue.

They don't have a choice. Their ideology commands it. They can't just ignore their ideology when it isn't the best electoral strategy for democrats.
