The Israel-Hamas War, now six months old, has seen the death of 1,200 Israelis and 33,000 Gazan Palestinians.
More than 100 hostages of the 240 originally kidnapped on October 7 remain in Gaza, and famine is spreading in the Gaza Strip.
There seems to be no end to the bloodshed and hostage situation, and the war has divided the Democratic Party, with the left wing progressives condemning the war’s continuation, and Joe Biden being unsuccessful in influencing the strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
So as a result, many American Jews are angry at Biden for bringing pressure on Israel, while Arab-Muslim Americans are angry that Biden has not done more to stop the carnage.
And many Israelis are furious at Netanyahu for failure to negotiate the release of the remaining hostages.
The idea that Republicans and Donald Trump would have a better alternative that would win over the Jewish population and the Arab-Muslim population in the upcoming Presidential Election of 2024 is to believe in fairy tales.
However, if either group sits on their hands and stays home, it would dramatically undermine the Joe Biden campaign, and likely help Donald Trump to win.
CNN was talking with some young black voters from Georgia about this. They plan to either vote third party (they mentioned Cornell West as a possible choice for them) or not vote at all.
The impression I get about young progressives is that they want Biden to be more progressive like Bernie or AOC.
Incidents like this are why many people are condemning the war and would like to see Biden change his policy, such as putting conditions on aid going to Israel, urging him to call for a ceasefire, etc.

All this war is accomplishing is creating future terrorists, especially if it’s the same old status quo afterwards.
