As much as I find reading and listening to the Bulwark folks perspective on the current ins and outs of politics interesting, I am growing concerned that focusing on the GOP circus is missing a huge barrier to beating trump. You are not addressing the possible voters Biden is losing by continuing to support with funding, the Gaza bombing. Yes he counsels restraint verbally, but Netanyahu keeps on bombing. 20,000 actual dead (mostly children) is a reality , in my mind, is a catastrophe that overshadows the “potential of” a projected fascist catastrophe. The real suffering and death overshadows the possible. If Biden ignores the young voters, he will lose. And he is ignoring them. Just like he is ignoring the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. So in my mind, focusing on Chris Christie and Nicki are red herrings, interesting distractions that won’t stop Trump. Biden has to stop funding international war crimes. Young people can not stomach hypocrisy and murder even less. I urge readers to send their thoughts to Biden at https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

I originally was going to let your inaccurate statement that the Palestine’s MOH death count in Gaza was inaccurate, go. Anyone who believes in bombing a people into the Stone Age, has a heart that has been so hurt to say that, cannot be reasoned with.

But…. for those others who actually might be misled by that false statement, please consider the following statements, a few of many organizations, vouching for the accuracy of the death count in GAZA due to the massive bombing of civilians.

This is no WW2 effort trying to stop the Nazis. This is the continued genocide of a people. Day in, day out. (My son is Jewish, and visited Israel last year. I never have nor will support Hamas or the kind of murderous evil they perpetrated on the innocent souls on Oct 6. But this brutal response on civilians, is not only a war crime, it is not only equally as evil, but will come back to haunt all the world. Violence only perpetuates more violence.)
