    He has been a very enthusiastic supporter of Israel for a long time. He believes in zionist colonialism.

    Not that he doesn’t have to consider voters whatsoever, just saying that he’s certainly not reluctant to support Israel out of any ideological disagreement with Zionism.

      I’m not really talking about his personal feelings on the matter, which aren’t really as relevant right now as what he thinks will get him re-elected. So far, he seems to think lip service toward the Palestinian cause plus the maritime-based food distribution while militarily supporting Israel is enough for people supporting Palestine to support him and not going too far to upset the pro-Israel people. Like I said, I don’t think he’s doing the balancing act well.
