I do recall them being unabashedly genocidal in Palestine though, so I'm not exactly in a rush to give them credit for less-than-the-bare-minimum.

That's table stakes in the US unfortunately. There's no option for "no genocide", you need a complete reform of the electoral system (basically anything newer than 18th century will do) and then some new political parties. But since that is wishful thinking at the moment, the lesser of two evils will do.

Weird, I was able to find one.

"genocide is the lesser of two evils" is exactly where this mentality has gotten you. You may be compromised enough to sign your name off on that. I am not and never will be.

Last time I looked, the genocide actually has expanded to Lebanon, with threats to directly implement it in Iran. Congrats, I guess?

where this mentality has gotten you.

Where?
