  Yes, and try running a presidential campaign on that and see how it works out for you.

    The most popular politicians in the US are vocal about stopping the Palestinian Genocide, so yeah I absolutely would take that strategy if I was going to run.

    Do you have… any basis for your beliefs or is this just all feelings and no facts for you?

        And that is a very recent turnaround. It’s only been very recently that people have started to come around on Israel.

        Uh…it was turning around like mid 2024. This is from March of 2024, and the numbers only keep falling from there:

        I’m only looking at Independents and Democrats; I don’t care about the % for the Republicans since they weren’t going to vote for Harris either way.

        Wait, which is it. Are Palestinian supporters too few to care about, or were they numerous enough to blame for the election loss? Cause you’re doing the classic fascist “our enemies are both incredibly weak and incredibly strong” bit.

  I just don’t believe that at all. The power the US holds has long faded into a shadow of its former self. I’m not even sure Trump could convince BB of the best breakfast spot in manhattan. Regardless of what the POTUS wants to happen in the Middle East, the Middle East will continue to do its thing.

    Get out of here with your poetry, the bombs Israel drops are made in my backyard.

    The idea that we don’t have decisive leverage over Netanyahu is absurd and laughable.

      And then the US pro-Israel lobby call their senators who inform that if Mr Caller still wants to be employed in a few days, the guns need to keep flowing.

        And then that politician spectacularly loses in the next election even though they outspent their opponent by 10 times and it helps sink the idea that AIPAC is still powerful or holds any sway over the opinions of the average person in the US.
