    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.

          If Trump wins it’s not going to be because of foreign policy. The US economy is probably going to be the top issue by far.

          If Trump beats Biden things won’t improve for Muslims anywhere.

          Anyway… tankie accelerationists are a very small minority of the electorate and probably wouldn’t vote even if Biden did everything they wanted.

            Let’s be clear, if Trump beat Biden, SCotUS will make a path allowing Trump to exile Muslims & strip their citizenship.

            It can & will happen here.

        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.

        I mean we all know this. It’s a matter of historical fact. It’s like living with a parent who completely gaslit the whole family. Everyone knows it’s all bullshit, but everyone has too keep playing along.
