That's not the lesson they will learn from this, for a number of reasons.
1) The Israel Palestine situation is not listed by most voters as the main reason for their vote.
2) If you lose to a team that is explicitly saying the problem is that you were too weak on your support of Israel, then the lesson learned is that "Be more supportive of Israel".
3) The next election will not be about what was going on in 2024, but what is going on in 2026. What the public thinks about the Israel Palestine issue then will be more influential than what the voters opaquely signalled in 2024.

Will some people draw the lesson "We should have been tougher on Israel"?
Sure.
But the idea that this is the obvious conclusion is ludicrous, because "what were the voters actually saying" is rarely clear.
Think about how many people still disagree about what drove voting shifts in 2016 and 2020? (And what lessons the GOP debated learning from losing in 2012 as well?)
They are learning this lesson right now.
Democrats 'freaking out' over Joe Biden's chances in 2024 election

Keep lying so you can maintain your status as hate-mongerer-in-chief.
I'm not lying, Nikki.
You keep trying to argue that all Jews are genocidal, hate spewing zionists.
I keep pointing out that there are lots of great Jews, groups like IJV Canada.
At the march a couple of days ago there were lots with 'not in my name' signs, they are warmly welcomed at the anti genocide marches.

You should take your walker and your Israeli flag and get outside and find out .

Anyone with an ounce of human decency will be repulsed by the actions of the US and Israel.


Canada needs to show some balls, and some conscience and recognize Palestine, pronto.
They starting to show some...

This is one of your more ludicrous statements, and that's saying something. This war would have never happened had Hamas surrendered its hostages and surrendered those responsible for October 7 to be tried as criminals.

It's people like you, who apparently can't process this, that lack even an ounce of decency.

The genocide would never have happened had Israel ended the occupation and apartheid.
There would have been no need of Oct 7 if Palestine wasn't occupied.

You saying Oct "needed" to happen?
You really justifying Oct 7?
You mean Hamas has to rape women and kill babies?
And you still wonder why I think you're a POS terrorist supporter...
No, rich, I didn't say that at all.
Hamas said they attacked on oct 7 because there were 223 settler terrorist attacks followed by settlers storming the Al Aqsa mosque.
Which is the same reason they attacked in 2021 as well.

If you don't want the attacks then end the occupation.
