It would be nice if the two sides made up and promised to be friends, but that's not the real world. Regarding Israel at the moment, I don't see where there's much the US can actually do. I think Trump inflamed Hamas and he has even said the war needs to play out. Netenyahu is going to do Netenyahu things. He's supported by enough Israelis and powerful lobbying in the US even as support here wanes. What possibly can a third party candidate do to end the war? I also challenge the assertion that presidents lack commitment to support the agenda of the base. A president needs a base.
