It's more about how the US handled the situation in a country with 3% of the population and the impact of that on either marginal voters or voters for whom this was a major issue.


> how the US handled the situation in a country

As if the US were responsible for the whole world. Hey Megalomania, nice to meet you.


In this case, it wasn't for lack of action. The US is actively funding one side's dominance and hindering others from helping the other side.

I think most people who are complaining about this are not expecting the US to be responsible for anything and would be pretty happy if the US just sat out.


The point is how the US government handled the matter, and that the votes were affected by that (at least that's the claim).

The size of the Gaza conflict in absolute terms is entirely irrelevant, it easily could've been only 1 person, dominating the media.
