    Live in the bay area, we care the most in the country by far, only a minority here give a shit. Those assholes who blocked the bridge just pissed everyone off.

    You live in a filter bubble, and have fun with that, the reason bibi can do whatever he wants is because very few people care, and most that do are so young that they’re unlikely to vote anyway.

    It’s not just secularism, it’s also that Palestinians look a lot like the guys who flew planes into the towers, and that we fought for decades and were taught were inhuman enemies that just enjoyed brutalizing women and innocents. Texas just wants the middle east to give up their oil, otherwise nobody else would care about them either.

    The only thing I find funny about the whole thing is Israelis turning around so quickly to commit their own genocide, but again, it’s just an ironic but of humor.

    Personally the middle east is a shit hole, we should stay as far away from it as possible.

    We have serious humanitarian issues in our own hemisphere, especially in south America, which should be our responsibility if we didn’t actually start them ourselves, we should fix them, while cutting off all aid to Israel, but the last thing I want to do is get more involved in the middle east.

        And I’m one of them, on principle.

        But I care about my own country 5 million times more than I care about a few poor people suffering in a different country, especially when they aren’t the only one’s suffering.

        Please, run a poll on how the majority of US citizens feel about stomping kittens next, I’m really curious how the numbers come out.

        You live in a fantasy world, real people have shit to worry about.
