The president is facing a backlash from pro-Palestinian activists who have swarmed campaign stops and sometimes shouted him down at abortion rights rallies.
Biden has, by many accounts, pressed Netanyahu to better shield civilians and consider a post-war Palestinian state.
But to many voters, especially young ones, this is insufficient.
A December New York Times/Siena poll found that 72 per cent of 18- to 29-year-olds disapproved of Biden 's handling of the conflict.
But how people feel now could very well matter in nine months . And so, it’s key to listen to all potential voters, including the many Democrats who are staunch supporters of Israel , and the growing number who are profoundly troubled by what is happening in Gaza . Those who would abandon Biden are hurting innocent Palestinians far more than helping. But the Democrats who would shame them rather than engaging in the tougher work of listening and persuading are also unwittingly doing Trump ’s work for him.
