    I think you’re out of touch with the average US American. Most do care about Gaza. Maybe not enough to protest, but enough to just stay home and not vote.

    Most Christians in the US are secular. The Zionist Christians evangelical are few in number. But lots of billionaires are zionists

      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.
