The American President has maintained support to Israel despite the growing fall off of support for Israel’s Gaza/ Hamas hunting which has left death and destruction across Gaza and the West Bank….
Biden IS lossing support from Arab-Americanbs, Youngt voters and Minority voters….

Something far away could cost him his job…..Ref: LBJ?
