Practically everything passed by the Congress requires a coalition. That means single attributions are rarely correct. The protests added a coalition partner to the team, but that was marginal and far from the bulk of electeds’ (and voters’) concerns. First and foremost, this is and has been for a few years now about China.

That coalition is looking like Politicians wanting that juicy AIPAC money

They want those voters. Again, most people who called their electeds and have a voting record seemed to mention China, at least in New York, Arizona, Wyoming and California, where I know some of the folks.

Single attributions are rarely correct until it's about Israel/Palestine. You might need to immerse yourself more in the issue before you start noticing these things.
