The line he’s walking right now definitely isn’t working but saying that cutting support to Israel and sanctioning them “would pretty much guarantee” him the election just is not true at all (unfortunately). It’s not even close to true.

Biden could pretty much guarantee a win tomorrow by announcing that it has been determined that Israel is indeed committing war crimes, followed by cutting support for them as per the Law when the recipient of help is committing such crimes, ideally followed by sanctions.
I wish this was true but it very much isn't. He'd immediately lose Pennsylvania, at a minimum.
Traditionally it meant Soviet apologists. Now it gets used more generally for the authoritarian left, where the horseshoe starts curving around.
We should do whatever we can to keep people off of the tracks in the future. But that’s not mutually exclusive with pulling the lever right now, since the trolley is already heading towards people.
Welcome to politics.
Netanyahu won't agree to a permanent ceasefire. The hope seems to be to get any sort of long pause then push to extend and extend it so it is de facto permanent (and hope Netanyahu gets kicked out of power somewhere in there).
Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.
Genuine question: Are there any countries that aren’t segregated by income? Because I think that’s been true of everywhere I’ve ever been.
It’s a brilliant ironic send-up of the need for a sequel for the first 30 minutes … and then it descends into unironically just continuing the story of Reloaded & Revolutions, but with bad action scenes this time.
I can see the insanity on both sides.
But being able to see both sides doesn't mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They're not.
Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.

I definitely do not think it does, and I agree with the rest of your post that neutrality would be a better path forward
