Free Palestine
it's getting closer, Israel is so close to collapsing. every day Iran fires on Israel is a day where its economy is completely halted. It's stretched incredibly thin with all their war fronts. they are becoming extremely unpopular, US population is now more in favor of Palestine than Israel. as soon as the USA stops supporting Israel (and the USA doesn't become a Trump dictatorship... fuck it already is) Israel will become a pariah state with little support.
I don't think you have any idea how much reach Israel has in the US. How much of the US is actually controlled by Israeli interest groups. And how many Zionists live in america. Israel is nowhere near collapse. And US support is nowhere near gone.
I hate it and I wish I could personally gut every one of the tyrannical bastards involved. But I and many others that feel similarly are ultimately without power to change this. Protesting only works when those in power have a conscience. We need a violent uprising to effect any change in the US and that won't happen. Not through lack of desire but through the inability to gather in appropriate numbers.
Edit:just saw in another comment that you are Israeli so maybe you have an insight that I don't. But from a US perspective I just don't see anything changing.
no doubt AIPAC and ADL have a hold of US politics. however, it's a very fragile hold. people are waking up and primarying out candidates that take AIPAC cash.
and taking AIPAC money for campaign funds is useless if it makes you unelectable.
I can only hope. I appreciate your optimism since I feel like mine died years ago.
if you can. check your local Dems, regardless of how much they suck, and see if there's an actual progressive running, then vote for them in the primaries.
Don't forget CUFI. These people are genuinely nuts. My old church had a CUFI pastor before I realized he was intentionally misreading the bible to promote his agenda. Wild stuff.
never heard of them. and i was happier not knowing they existed
I felt the same way. Spreading the joy.
AIPAC has some tacticians among them. They know the acronym itself is hated and mistrusted. But, it's very common and possible for reasonable people to see a convincing political ad, and not ever realize it was funded by AIPAC indirectly.
technically, AIPAC doesn't give anyone campaign funds or political donations. they have clever legal ways around lots of laws.
their modus operandi is to connect politicians looking for bribes with rich individual who will bribe them on AIPAC's behalf. so it's never a foreign interest group bringing politicians.
no income inequality? trust in government? 20% of Israelis are arabs and are legally second class citizens, high poverty rates, and definitely a mistrust in the government. and that is only considering those Israel considers as people, as Palestinians under occupation have no rights at all. so bullshit, there is massive inequality and mistrust of the government.
my understanding of the damages Iran is causing comes from family I have in Israel, even though the total destruction is minimal, the actual effect for Israel is a total economic pause in practically all productivity. Given that during bombings, they have to spend the time hiding in shelters (which only Jewish communities get, arab Israeli communities only get mocked if hit).
Lol, they closed the port in Eilat, it literally went bankrupt.
Latest polls call on your bullshit, there is more support for Palestine than Israel in the US.
my question is, why is a Russian propagandist doing Hasbara work?
