    It’s not that simple. Changing positions will probably polarize people to vote against him as much as it will win over votes to him.

    Especially because those who are likely to withhold votes over this will probably demand the most drastic of actions before Biden passes their purity test.

    Geopolitically it’s a bad move on top of that as it ends the relationship with practicallythe only middle Eastern power we have as an ally.

    The reproductions of that alone is certain to energize opposition to Biden in the far right.

    While he may lose voters over his current inaction, taking action could easily lead to a net loss on election day.

    Unfortunately what is best for a country geopolitically and what is morally right often don’t agree with each other.

      Even from a moral choice Biden is the better option. You get someone pressuring for a Two-state solution keep aid flowing to Palestinians as well as to support in helping Ukraine who are being genocided by their definitions. While also supporting international efforts to re-open one of the busiest shipping channels so places like Africa & others experiencing hardships that will have trouble maintaining safety & stability if prices of common goods increases.
