    Biden is trying really hard to lose the election for the democrats.

    What blackmail does Netanyahu have on the guy? This is such a bad move.

      It’s either court centrist Zionists or let Trump win. There’s no alternative.

      It’s a numbers game. There are WAY more Jewish people in the US than there are Arabs (~7.5 vs 3.5 million, according to a quick Google search).

      Strategically, those Jewish voters are also more likely to switch to a Republican vote than the Arabs, regardless. It would take 2 Arabs (or any other Democratic voter) sitting out to counter a single Democratic voter switching to a Republican vote.

      Granted, none of this accounts for voter locations (because only the 7 swing states matter), voter enthusiasm, claims of national security, or (most importantly of all) ethics.

        Everything can be justified in this way.

        “Adolf Hitler identified he needed to blame all problems on Jews. And systematically put them in concentration camps. This was a political move necessary to advance his career and appeal to voters.”

          To be clear, at no point was I trying to justify any actions. My only goal was to explain the strategic path that would lead to it. And of course there are additional nuances, which I alluded to at the end.

          Besides, a winning strategy is not an indicator of ethics.

        People are downvoting you because they don’t like the outcome, not because they disagree with your argument.
