    Unfortunately 80% of the country wants us to continue our support of Israel or to do even more. I agree with you, but we are the minority.

        I misquoted the poll I was thinking of. It’s about 40% who say the US involvement is enough or that we should do more. 20% say we should be doing less. My point that we are the minority still stands.

        Anecdotally, I can say this. I live in red country. Everyone I talk to is unconditional about supporting Israel.

        Still though, I think if Trump were to come out tomorrow and condemn Israel and back Palestine, they’d all shit themselves, go home and change their pants, and then still vote for Trump. Seriously,

          Ok. Well I’m an American Jew who’s been to Israel twice, and have been taught my entire life that it’s the promised land, and I say they’re currently war criminals.

            Another American Jew here. I have never been to Israel, I don’t want to go to Israel and I do not support Israel, its apartheid or its genocide.

              Sadly seems like Christianity is the biggest culprit for getting on board with genocide

                They need all the Jews to return to Israel to rebuild the Great Temple so Jesus will return. But they’re going to have to kill me because there’s no fucking way I’m going to Israel.

            You may have also benefitted from an education that prioritized critical thinking and empathy

            Which is a pretty unrelatable experience for most Americans
