Maybe, just maybe, if enough people keep complaining…
This right there is my point. This abstention is unprecedented and has only come about because of the pressure American citizens are putting on the administration.
When this genocidal campaign started, the administration’s tone was all in with Israel because that’s what it has always been. They didn’t even bother to read the room. Then it turned out that a significant number of Americans, including three generations worth of voting age citizens, were not overwhelming in favor of genocide. Go figure. Now the administration is back tracking and taking a different tone. That is all because of those who raised their voice. Keep up the pressure.
EDIT: To be clear, I am not saying that we shouldn’t aim high. We absolutely should, but we should also acknowledge our victories.
