Moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.

He literally can't, because the compromise progressives want is to stop the attack on Gaza and Biden can't stop that, only Bibi can and he is absolutely intent on killing everyone in Gaza.

Cutting off aid to Gaza isn't going to stop the attack because Israel isn't reliant on current aid to make it happen. They have a stockpile built up from decades of support.

So, Biden tells Israel to get fucked, he loses the campaign donations from the Israel pac to get elected.

There is no equivalent donation machine on the Palestinian side, they have bigger things to worry about.

Someone go tell Bloomberg that campaign money is a better indicator of electoral victory than voters. I’m sure he’d be happy to hear that he won the presidency.
