I don't entirely agree with the article or the generalization that the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem was necessarily in and of itself a major contributor to the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, but it seems clear Hamas saw its influence waning in the Arab world because the Saudis and others had put the Palestinian issue on the back burner. But irrespective of that , you are correct that these young progressive voters seem ignorant of anything beyond the thrill of putting on a kaffiyeh, chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," screaming "genocide Joe" and disrupting traffic (with a touch of antisemitism thrown in for good measure). They could very well cause Biden to lose in a couple of swing states and reinstate Trump. They don't seem to care, and they won't get any sympathy from me if Trump is reinstalled. They, like Jill Green and RFK Jr., are willing to indulge in political suicide and ignore what's best for the country as a whole.
