And what exactly would your solution be here. This is truly rock-and-a-hard-place country.
Protest all you want, but also understand the alternatives. Sure, protest the Democrats for trying to strike a balance while still supporting your only real ally in the region, but what is the alternative? The Republicans, who would love to see the Palestinians eradicated along with much of the Muslim world? That's kind of the point. Try this protest at a Trump rally and you're going home bloodied. Do this at a Harris rally and you get shhhhhed. Vote for the Republicans and you're going to see your side exterminated. Vote for the Democrats and they will at least try to sway Israel's behaviors and limit the access to the most damaging munitions. It's a Sophie's choice, but one is clearly much better than the other.
There is a third option though. Be a Bernie Bros ######bag and stay home. But then you risk really get kicked in the nuts because you possibly allow the Republicans getting in and then having to live with those consequences, which are going to much worse if they get in.
