It's not just Muslims. That's what many people don't get. Them openly supporting a genocide and ignoring international law loses them many voters than don't particually care for Palestinians, but care about human rights in general.

Heck Trump was able to dupe half of the population in believing he's anti-war candidate when his first term was one of the bloodiest in the recent US history. And that was only possible because of Democrats shouting how they will have the most lethal military in the world...
