5. It's horrific

Israel is bombing Gaza almost daily and the people there are wasting away dying of disease and lack of food.

The world is distracted with Iran and now Lebanon, but the people of Gaza have gotten almost no relief and are hanging on by a thread.

The Free Gaza movement in the US was a political football that has been abandoned now that it serves no political use for the Right. The people who were there before the the 2024 election are still there, but the paid rabble rousers are gone and the media attention is nowhere. But it will still be useful to the Right this election, so we'll hear more then. I see it on Reddit all the time, so called liberals who won't support candidates because they support Israel with little nuance into the fact that the GOP candidate will support the total eradication of Gaza.
