Progressives aren't the majority, but there's enough of them that democrats can't win without them.

Young adults show up to vote. Not as much as older generations, but they do. They also vote more when their candidate is any good.
2020 had Trump as an incumbent, and while people were anxious about Biden's age nobody was "holding their nose" to vote for him. He was viewed as a less than perfect option that would nevertheless bring normalcy back to the White House as a vanilla corporate Democrat president. That is not, in any way, comparable to the current situation where he's the incumbent and despised by critical demographics for multiple failed policies whose successor explicitly states she'll carry over. The last time Democrats had to go around saying "hold your nose and vote blue no matter who" was, indeed, 2016.
Do not say “I can’t bring myself to vote for her.” Do not say “something something genocide.” Vote. For. Her.
This... Did not work last time.
Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?
She'd gain more than she'd lose, even before counting in the electoral college. Conditioning Israeli aid is supported by the majority of people of Democrats, Republicans and independents, and the people who don't want it don't care too much either way. Definitely not more than left wingers who want the genocide to stop. In terms of votes it's a no brainer.
Netanyahu doing his part to further the Palestinian cause. Respect.
What the actual fuck? Just... what the actual fuck? Imagine the willpower needed to just walk out on the job.
This plan is going to create a generation of such unreasonable people that future generations of Israelis are going to pay a price for.
Small correction: Attacking Israel is only unreasonable if Israel actually wants peace. They don't, and the people who do are decreasing (either leaving Israel, getting brainwashed by state propaganda or dying off) day by day. With modern Israeli politics the way they are, being "unreasonable" is probably the most productive thing Palestinian resistance can do.
Definitely nothing in Arabic AFAIK.
More Israel's right to defend itself?
