"Yeah that’s what I meant by “? I guess whatever they do they’ll lose votes”
if he went too pro Palestine against Israel they’ll lose Jewish / pro Israel supporters
and with the opposite they’ll lose Muslims / pro Palestine voters. He won’t be able to win votes from both options"

The same applies to other topics as well especially where one side is more vocal so for example supporting the vocal pro transgender rights lobby / protests will gain votes from that group but lose votes from women who quietly don't agree with them. Supporting the vocal Just stop oil protests will gain votes from the more radical environmentalists but lose more votes from people who just want to get to work or afford to travel.
So many politicians see the louder shouting voices as the ones to back, perhaps because they come from a highly politicised background themselves. They fail to see that if you support group A then you lose votes from Group B.
Most voters are simply interested in the economy, the cost of living and the NHS and education. The political candidate that ignores this will forever be a candidate and not a politician.
