"Despite these polls and the passions raised by the war with Hamas, it is easy to exaggerate the power of Gaza as a motivating issue for voters eight months from no-win November. History suggests that foreign policy issues end up as a minor motif in presidential politics unless American soldiers are dying in combat as they were in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004.”

    Okay, I don’t have a lot of confidence in this, but I assume the average American is actually pro-Israel? At least the swing “independent” voters?

    Like I know young people are pro-Palestine but those people probably wouldn’t vote for Trump in any case and probably live in strongly blue states?
