Like… who cares? He doesn’t speak for Americans.

Here’s some actual polling people can look at instead of just making stuff up: https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/03/...e-about-hamas/

I do believe his point is valid.
I didn't get the impression that he was suggesting Canadians shouldn't have an opinion or be engaged, simply that it is difficult to understand the American position on Israel through a Canadian lens.

There are obviously divergent opinions amongst Americans about Israel, but Israel is America's most important strategic relationship (American nuclear-armed vassal state), and American policy is and will always be total unconditional support. American politicians will make the right noises about ceasefires and Palestinian rights, but when it comes to it, Israel is unassailable.
Harris and the Democrats know this, even if they don't want to advertise it.
