...currently put Biden in the same camp as Bush (Dubya, that is), who they have consistently called a war criminal. Won't necessarily get them to vote for Trump, but it is enough that they won't vote for Biden.

I think Trump is dangerous enough that I still feel morally compelled to vote for Biden. But I know that for a lot of people, "Vote for a guy you think is terrible because the other guy is much worse" just isn't particularly motivating. And I don't have much to say, because I too have been thoroughly unimpressed by Biden when it comes to the unbearable suffering of Palestinians. Empathy is usually his thing, but he has been a thudding failure when it comes to empathizing with the suffering of the Palestinian people, and he didn't even make the slightest attempt to course-correct on at least pretending to care until it was essentially too late. For me, knowing the Palestinian situation certainly will not IMPROVE under Trump is enough that I still feel compelled to vote for Biden, but I can't actually defend him on his merits on this issue.
