I really don’t think this was the reason, or that Israel/Palestine issues played any significant role in her loss.

I donno why people think they can say that so confidently, I think it could have played a big role. And I’m not sure why people think that’s “blaming” voters rather than holding democrats accountable or letting them know that the issue matters and they better change their policy on it if they want to win.
