Don’t know what to tell you. I’m expressing my opinion on how I personally see them, which is an entity that is openly hostile to the American public.
People voting for them doesn’t negate this. It only means that people vote against their own self-interests, which is nothing new as we’ve seen time and time again.
That doesn’t change my opinion. That alliance is to the U.S. government, not to the U.S. people. I consider them to be a hostile entity.
With Israel’s mask off, other nations need to start allowing these protesters so long as they don’t actually turn violent.
We don’t need to pretend that Israel is the “good guys” anymore; they’ve straight-up told us told us that they aren’t.
The birth rate over 30 is probably lower, and putting a deadline forces you into a FOMO situation.
I’ve a heard a similar theory explaining why some (U.S.) Republicans want to ban fertility treatments: FOMO to have kids younger because you might not be able to later.
I personally think this will not work out the way they plan it to, bu there is a twisted train of thought behind it.
Can we finally stop pretending that Israel is an “ally.” I consider the state of Israel to be an enemy to the general American public.
I have too. Thank you for the reminder.

It’s good. And the decision to have (or not have) kids is one of the few forms of power that the general population has over those in charge. If people are being squeezed out financially or have no hope for the future (e.g. environmental collapse), they may choose to opt out of reproduction.
The terrorist state of Israel. Anyone who supports the state of Israel’s actions at this stage of things is a terrorist sympathizer.
They seem to go out of their way to do that.
And when I talk about Israel being a direct threat to Americans citizens, this is part of what I’m talking about.
Yes, I know this happened in the UK and not the US, but the principle still applies.
Getting really old and also going to backfire spectacularly. Israel has pretty much completely lost support of younger Americans (can’t speak for UK). Once those younger generations age into politically power, we’re going to see a major shift.
The amount of bias, propaganda, and straight-up misinformation from western media regarding this “conflict” (more like massacre) is truly outrageous.
I don’t have any inherent support either side, and there’s too much history along with bias, propaganda, and outright misinformation to make a determination of who the “good guys” are, if anyone.
However, in such cases I will support the underdog on the principle that you don’t really want one side to have too much power over the other. That’s how we end up with things like ethnic cleansing and genocide. If Palestine (and Lebanon) had powerful militaries, you wouldn’t be seeing the mass devastation and huge loss of civilian lives. I’d prefer to see the sides more balanced so that they can keep each other in check.
Another angle to consider is that I consider the state of Israel to be actively harmful to Americans on the basis of:
using our tax dollars to commit mass murder against civilians, including a staggering death toll for children
infiltrating our government, interfering with our elections, and having an undue level of influence on American policy
corollary to the preceding point: they support getting Trump back into the White House
training American law enforcement, who then use their oppressive tactics on Americans
similarly, technology they develop for surveillance and other means of control being used on Americans
directly attacking our First Amendment rights
Bottom line is I’d say everyone sucks, but in different ways. But I am anti-Israel on the basis of them being way out of control (and without anyone to keep them in check) and due to the threat they pose to the American public.
You go too far!
No, I had it right the first time.
Of course they are. No lives matter when there is money to be made. The pursuit of profit overrides all other principles.
What does it mean when a “democracy” supports genocide?
I believe so, and that is a really bold thing for them to publish regardless of one’s opinion on the situation.
What a damn farce this is.
