Yeah, all this means is that for most of the voting public in the US, Israel is a non issue. Both parties actively support Israel, so if you’re pro Israel it doesn’t matter, if you’re sympathetic to Palestine, you’re either going to vote or you’re not. It really is unfortunate, those people are over there getting killed by the thousands, and Americans have no political option to help them.
From most polls I’ve seen, the US public still generally backs Israel. Crucially, the voting public who, unlike our loud and demonstrative progressive wing, actually shows up to vote, tend to support Israel.
And we had options to help, it just required us to vote in the primaries (2016, 2020) despite not being a tik tok trend or whatever. Sanders wanted to cut military spending but the online and very vocal progressive wing didn’t show up and vote for him.
It’s sort of like not staying fit, eating poorly and not sleeping well and then wondering why you got hurt when you tried to play a sport with your healthier friends. These things take work/showing up well before they become a critical issue.
From most polls I’ve seen, the US public still generally backs Israel.
This seems a bit misleading. People want a permanent ceasefire, a two state solution, a stop to the indiscriminate bombing of Palestinian civilians and would like any aid to Israel to be dependent on them pledging not to occupy Gaza after the war. I don’t think Israel agrees with any of that?

Damn, you didn’t need to call me out like this
