Majority of people do not care, but certain very vocal and very rich people do care. AIPAC, wacky evangelical leaders who believe in end times, national security types who see Israel as paramount to US security in MidEast, etc. They get to influence policy because majority will not push back on their policy because Gaza is an afterthought.

The voters deserve the government they choose. This includes those who abdicated their responsibility by not voting.

Military officer corp is easily the most non-political actors while the enlisted MAGA are diehards.
