    Because for whatever reasons, our entire government backs isreal. We don’t even get oil from them. I don’t know what the deal is.

      The majority of Americans are Protestant. There is a pillar of protestant Christianity that when Jesus returns in the second coming he will build a Temple in Israel and that will be the start of 1000 years of peace under Jesus Christ.

      That is why these people will bend over backwards for them. They think they are protecting the world by protecting Israel and ensuring Jesus has a place to build his temple. Literal cult nonsense.

        As if the almighty son of God couldn’t just set up a temple whenever and wherever he wants, gotta make sure the locals are on board. By any means necessary (White American Jesus loves that shit)

        So instead, let’s make sure the area is controlled by the people whose attitude towards Jesus is “eh, guy was alright, I guess. #NotMyMessiah” Not to say there should be another crusade for Christianity to retake the area and… shit, someone’s probably planning that too, aren’t they?

          It being a crusade is precisely what the other comment alludes to, they’re trying to “retake the holy land.”

          That it’s Israelis on the ground doesn’t matter that much, it’s a Crusade-by-proxy at least.

        A slim majority of American voters support blocking weapon shipments and a large majority of Democrat voters do.

        The problem with Biden shipping weapons is that it casts doubt on our “democracy”.

          It’s almost like the angriest loudest people on the internet haven’t followed and studied decades of geopolitical history

            Have you considered that some people don’t accept that genocide is a necessary fact of “geopolitics?”

            There’s a word for people that do.

                  Unfortunately for me? In what world am I happy a genocidal strongman just won the election for U.S. president?

                  Acknowledging reality is important if you want to deal with it. However half the fediverse thinks they hold the majority opinion, despite evidence to the contrary.

                  Unfortunately snark and smug superiority don’t win elections.
