      Anecdotally, I can say this. I live in red country. Everyone I talk to is unconditional about supporting Israel.

      Still though, I think if Trump were to come out tomorrow and condemn Israel and back Palestine, they’d all shit themselves, go home and change their pants, and then still vote for Trump. Seriously,

        Ok. Well I’m an American Jew who’s been to Israel twice, and have been taught my entire life that it’s the promised land, and I say they’re currently war criminals.

          You may have also benefitted from an education that prioritized critical thinking and empathy

          Which is a pretty unrelatable experience for most Americans

          Another American Jew here. I have never been to Israel, I don’t want to go to Israel and I do not support Israel, its apartheid or its genocide.

              They need all the Jews to return to Israel to rebuild the Great Temple so Jesus will return. But they’re going to have to kill me because there’s no fucking way I’m going to Israel.
