I responded to a comment asking why a national politician would choose a side in a conflict. My response was that her political party has picked a side to support by a wide majority.
Republicans support Israel in this conflict almost universally. Haley’s support of Israel isn’t controversial in her own party.
This wasn’t a statement on the morality of the conflict, but of the political support of the belligerents. Republicans support Israel.
Apologies, I misinterpreted the word “party” I thought it was a party in the conflict like Israel vs Gazans. And that Israel supporters don’t see it as controversial.
But Israelis DONT see it as controversial. Surveys of Israelis show 68% oppose humanitarian aid to Gaza. Intentional collective punishment and starvation are war crimes but they enjoy wide support in Israel; Netanyahu’s use of them is not considered objectionable by the mainstream and that’s not why the Israeli public is angry at him.
In the discussion of American politics, the Republican Party is very pro-Israel. The Republican Speaker of the House has gone as far to invite Netanyahu to address Congress as a show of friendship and support. The opposition to this invitation has mainly been from Democratic members.
American voters could punish Biden for being complicit in genocide, but that punishment isn’t going to end the genocide.

That’s why I clarified.

Pretty sure Republicans don’t as much support Israel as much as they just want to see Muslims bombed.
