I said the legacy of this will long outlast any positive action Biden has taken. Yeah people will probably vote on domestic issues (although if even a few percent don't want to vote for someone aiding a genocide it is getting pretty tight for Biden), but this recent inflation or whatever will be a distant memory in a few years, while the genocide will not. The court case alone will take years to finish up.
Also under the genocide convention, it is also a crime to be complicit in genocide. So what happens if (ie probably when) the court rules in favour of South Africa? Biden is in the shit. Then he has to answer for HIS actions, as the primary backer of Israel. Not a good look.
I'm not saying "this is going to cost Biden the election," which it seems you were responding to (even though maybe it will). I am saying "people will remember Biden as the guy who gave the bombs that they dropped on the innocent children and not that guy who had decent economic policy."
If I was president this would bother me but maybe Biden doesn't care ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
