A new poll shows half of U.S. adults believe Israel's war in Gaza has “gone too far." The poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found growing disapproval among Republicans and political independents for Israel's conduct of its military offensive in Gaza.

        While money is definitely key to the size of the support in Congress, this is also an extremely rapid change. Like, outside of a few foreign policy dweebs like us, most Americans sided with Israel nearly unconditionally as recently as November.

            I understand what you mean, but given the decreasing number of downvotes for posts / comments critical of Israel, we’ve apparently reached a point where it’s becoming acceptable.

      Themselves.

      Representative democracy is a farce where at best you try to find someone or a group who will maybe align with one or two of your views or at worst because they’re not someone even worse.

      Most are probably evangelical morons. They actually think God wants them to defend Israel. I’ve asked them to show me where in the Bible it says that, but you can probably guess how that went.

    Damn, I really thought things wouldn’t change this quickly. A rare pleasant surprise. Hopefully, this will permanently open some eyes on Israel, and allow us to finally change that stain on our foreign policy.
