Look Biden will most certainly get his votes in the general election for the most part because of the threat Trump poses.
However right now supporting Israel uncritically and unconditionally is undeniably more alienating and isolating politically than it ever has been. There is an extremely wide open field of leverage and restraint on Israel Biden could be flexing which would both be humanitarian and a political win for him. Maybe the ‘Uncommitted’ vote here will compel him to look into that. Maybe not though, given his trajectory.
