    No presidential candidate is going to do more than lip service until the situation there changes drastically. From a political standpoint, this is only an issue at all for the under 30 crowd. Even then, it’s almost exclusively an issue for the demographics that are going to vote democrat or just stay home, most are smart enough to realize that the other side would be worse. Even if the youth turnout somehow doubled, this probably still wouldn’t make up for how deeply deeply unpopular the Palestinian government is with every other demographic. Anyone who is old enough to remember when the current organization in charge first got going is looking at the younger generations like they are insane.

    She’s much more likely to just be more generically silent and passive on the issue now that her exposure is higher. I would bet she actually dials it back even more than she did on her last speech.
