I don’t understand how Netanyahu gets so much support in the U.S. Not anymore.
Like, who is supporting him? It’s not really trumpsters or religious groups anymore, right? Is it just inertia?
Arms manufacturers
bribelobby politicians to send tax dollars to Israel via weapons shipments. It’s mostly about money.Yeah well that only goes so far. See: Ukraine, who need all the weapons they can get but are still facing opposition.
I think boomers are also a bit more unconditionally supportive of the state of Israel for some reason as well. Perhaps (and this is my speculation) they were more propagandized than younger people whom have better access to global communication and cultural exchange, and were therefore more Arabophobic on average.
Also, Israel is the US’s military foothold in the middle east, so it’s there as power projection to the oil-rich countries in the vicinity.
It seems you forgot USS Liberty
Anti Netanyahu is not the same thing as anti Israel.
Its like saying you’re anti American for supporting some controversial US politician, though TBH we don’t have a good equivalent to him.
Perhaps this is true but if he leaves office, the genocide will continue apace. It may ebb but it will always be center to Israel’s project. There is a lot of internal conflict in Israel and fascism is boiling over.
This is like saying the US will never change either.
Leaders can change the direction of the country, especially when a good chunk of the population is clearly unhappy with what they’re doing.
I didn’t say it won’t change, I am saying it is highly unlikely to change. Reality vs pollyanna.
Anti Netanyahu is not the same thing as anti Israel.
He wants people to think it is though, and uses Israel’s propaganda machine to get them to
Ah but if you send them too many weapons, they might actually defeat russia! and then they won’t need arms anymore
Israel is a proven long-term customer. Ukraine will only keep producing money if the war continues
Politicians mostly.
That is just an order of magnitud lower than Putin’s reaction to protests
Big props to those arrested. That’s leadership.
When syatem fails, only martyrs can send a message to the normies with heads in elites’ asses.
Seen 6 box trucks with billboards that said “Isreal, Nationalist, Zionist.” They were pro-Isreal. Not even trying to hide how they feel.
