I'd feel the same way. And yet...it's still effective.
"Why were you late?"
"Protesters."
"What were they protesting?"
And just like that, the conversation has started.
I think you don't even have to bump. Just turn on your hazard lights and start slowing down in the middle lane. In medium to heavy traffic, this should cause a standstill.
As long as APAIC is funneling money into US politicians, everything Israel does is tangential to US politics.
In the 2022 midterm elections, AIPAC spent roughly $27 million, a figure that more than tripled to over $100 million for the 2024 cycle.
The US provided about $4 billion in aid to Israel.
We are right now engaged in a war - sorry, armed conflict - with Israel leading the charge.
So, yeah, have fun in your echo chamber where US politics is entirely divorced from the rest of the world.
More info here, but I can't speak to the veracity of this source.

Strook is a mother of eleven and a grandmother of twelve. In 2007, a Palestinian boy was found severely beaten and bleeding after escaping an alleged torture session.
It was later revealed that Zviki Strook and his friends had entered a Palestinian neighbourhood, captured a 15-year-old boy, handcuffed and beat him, stripped him, and allegedly hit him with an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) before leaving him tied up in a field. The victim escaped hours later, suffering from severe injuries.
Speaking of horses, did you know that house flies and horse flies can look almost identical, but are different species?
The possum is not the same species as the opossum. A rabbit and a hare are different species. A buzzard and vulture are different species.
It's all about DNA. If two bugs (or any organism) can mate and produce viable, fertile offspring - that's a species. If they can't, then they are different species.
