It seems to me like it is more likely that Trump would support Israel taking more offensive actions than it is that Harris would support that. Trump had been vocal about how he would approach this and it seems like he aims to give Israel more freedom to operate offensively. Biden does apply pressure on Israel to operate offensively less, and even if clearly his pressure does not cause offensive operations to halt, it seems obvious to me that Trump supporting Israeli offensive operations would likely yield more offensive operations. So I think that it is trivial that if you care about reducing the amount of harm, and about having a more probable chance at seeing peace, you should vote for Harris.

I wouldn't even bother with this argument, honestly. It's completely obvious that someone like Trump and the republican party at large who literally use the term Palestinian like a slur and have actively encouraged Israeli politicians to "finish the job" and hasn't said a word about humanitarian responsibility or human rights or acting in accordance with international law would be much much worse and would enable much worse atrocities in the region. It's self evident. 

But people don't want to hear it. Even though I think you're 100 percent correct, a better strategy might be to focus on domestic issues. I don't think it's unreasonable to say "okay I'll cede the point of foreign policy issues. Maybe the rhetoric doesn't matter at all (even though it absolutely does) and regardless the material outcomes would be identical. All things being equal, we can at least agree that Trumps domestic policy will be worse and for.a million and one reasons, not least.of which is the possibility of Trump appointing two more extreme right wing activist supreme court justices, Trump must not.be allowed in the seat of power again"

That argument usually works better. And it's much easier to assess what kind of person you're talking to after, as well. Because some people will hear the above and say "I'm sorry I just can't fucking vote for genocide" which I think is misguided thinking, but is very understandable.

 But then others will start fighting you on how it doesn't matter who wins, Trump or Harris it's all the same. 

These people are either really stupid, or paid actors, and it's great because you can just ignore them because they weren't serious/honest to begin with and you dint have to waste any more time talking to them.

Or, idk, maybe they just have a conscience. Maybe the calculation is that once a party is enacting a genocide, to this degree, and this publicly, they are a failed party. My issues with her domestic policies aside, I would love to vote for Kamala. But I will not vote for genocide. No candidate should ask a potential voter to cast aside their morals and vote for them anyway. That's an insane ask. Once again, at that point, you are a failed party.
