    I don’t like being be cynical but all over the western and islamic world is people not liking the genocide and barely anywhere is there a government trying to stop it from happening. Yes this is good news, but I’m afraid it’s not gonna do much for Gaza or the West Bank.

      MSM did help with that, they mades ure it was front news all the time, in order to hurt biden/kamala chances, conveniently went quiet, into the background since he got elected.

      And it started at 42% before the genocide. So two years of genocide convinced 11% of people that the apartheid state was bad, actually.

      There were many polls, prior and during the election, that showed how popular a weapons embargo to force Israel to agree to ceasefire was, and has only grown as the genocide continues. All despite the constant manufacturing of consent from mainstream media, downplaying if not ignoring what has been happening

    Is it because they’re ostensibly our ally but have shitty political views and I’m not sure why we keep bailing them out when they fuck up? Because that’s how I feel about half my cousins. I want to be loyal but I also try to find a way to get out of Thanksgiving every year.

      It’s at least partly due to the amount of insane christian zealots who believe that any nation who turns their back on israel will be destroyed by god during Armageddon (the bible speaks of this). Wish i didn’t have first hand knowledge of this lol

        Funny thing is, the Bible really doesn’t speak of that. It speaks of the armies that come to destroy Zion as being destroyed themselves. The rest is opportunistic interpretation.

        Whether Zion refers to Israel the nation, the spiritual descendants of Abraham, Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem is all in how you read it. And the Jewish scriptures are pretty clear that the land will be levelled in the fighting, after which people from all nations will be able to come to the rebuilt Jerusalem in peace.

      Decades of propaganda at work and a political inertia exploiting the well-meaning attempt at thwarting antisemitism (and the risk of being perceived as Antisemitic), combined with massive anti-Muslin sentiment.

        I’ve never understood anti-Muslins… I mean, it doesn’t wrinkle and it breathes better than silk and linen… why the hate?

    Wow they must all be antisemites who need to be sent to El Salvadorian concentration camps! (Never mind the open white supremacists with Tiki torches marching through the streets shouting “Jews will not replace us!”, those guys are free speech advocates!!!)
