You're taking a minor issue for this cycle and thinking people care about it in the same way you do, which is nowhere close to reality. The vast majority of the population isn't thinking about the conflict in the Middle East and don't really care because there are other more important issues on their minds. Issues that have the appearance of impacting them directly are the issues that people care about in the United States. Foreign wars barely register at this point.

Now, when you get past the important issues on the table for this election - those being the economy, immigration, health care, women's rights, gun rights, crime, and racial/ethnic equality - you get to issues like foreign policy and climate change. Both important issues, but too complex for the average American to have a clue about. The average dude on the street doesn't understand how either issue impacts them directly so their attention to those issues is very limited. Not when they are told every day that they are hurting economically and immigrants are making their lives that much more difficult. What happens in another country as a result of American foreign policy doesn't really register.

If you really want to think about the issue though, maybe consider the alternatives. The Biden admin has limited the classes of munitions that are shipped to Israel. They are controlling what they can control. You may not think that is enough, but the United States is not turning its back on Israel, regardless of what it does. Limits on what munitions access Israel has is probably the best option you have at the moment. The alternative is the hawks that want to "unleash Bibi" and let him "finish the job." Is that the better alternative? Your whole line of reasoning is like voting for the Nazis because the Social Democratic Party wasn't doing enough to counter antisemitism in the leadup to WWII. Dumb reasoning that just hurts your cause.

What's dumb is you not realizing that this is a main issue for many in a crucial state like Michigan which can cost her the election.
