This same question confronts foreign govts as well. Many have been cowed into appeasing Trump due to the very real pain he can inflict in the short term. But with his domestic weakness increasingly clear, a stiffer approach could add more pressure that weakens him even further in the long term.
The same question awaits the Dems. Do they act like a relatively normal party that has just gotten proof of concept for an electoral landslide, or scare themselves off of a fight they can win?

"The New York Times is an accomplice to the genocide in Gaza... Times editors have told reporters to avoid 'inflammatory terms' like 'genocide,' 'ethnic cleansing,' and 'occupied territory' — and even to avoid saying 'Palestine.'" Read the @wawog.bsky.social dossier here

Exposing The New York Times: The Paper of Zionist Record
High-ranking Times editors and reporters have material and ideological ties to Israel’s occupation and apartheid. Their journalistic malpractice enables genocide in Gaza.
