This might be a hot take and I have nothing backing this up but: I don't think the average US voter gives a fuck about the Palestinians or the US support of Israel. The people who do are a vocal but tiny minority, even among Democrat voters. That minority still likely voted overwhelmingly for Kamala. I just don't think the Israel Palestine issue had any affect at all on the election. If you look online, you'd think it was the single biggest failure of the Democrat party. Which...it is, morally speaking. But I don't think it decided the election. I'd love to be proven wrong but I think Americans don't care about foreigners.
