I know you might find this hard to believe. But we don't actually have to do this. There is no "pact". Israel is a powerful country without our support. The fact that we're still giving them money and weapons to continue doing a genocide is gross, and the argument of "well its just how it's always been and how it always should be" is fucking dumb.

I didn't say it should be this way, I said this is how it is. I'm not sure if you're wanting me to be some sort of armchair-legal-historian here but I'm not pointing at any single agreement, I'm saying there have been a ton of agreements forcing us into this. I think they should be cut, but the entire world will have to change before we can just ignore the Israel problem. In other words, right now in THIS reality this ship sailed long ago and anybody not directly attached to the issue has no business caring. I don't see Gaza as an issue for or against either candidate nor do I see it as anywhere newsworthy as it is getting, the only problem I see that literally nobody can change is wrongheaded activists on either side of the Israel/Palistine issue blaming current politicians for the problem they inherited here and voting against them. That will cause swings in some areas, likely against Biden (incorrectly), but again nothing to do about that. We are allied with Israel. It would be interesting to see if Trump did just pull out and stop trading with Israel but I don't think it's an option in the near future.
