Mainly that we see a single country has an undue amount of influence on our country that continues to involve us in wars but continuously never ever goes to war for us.

I say this as somebody who doesn’t hate Israel and thinks they have a right to defend themselves against savages that surround them.

I don’t want ill for the Palestinians, but I don’t care for them more than the Christians in Nigeria and usually ask for it with Hamas.

I agree that people should care about genocide all over, but Israel is a staunch ally and we do a lot of legwork for them to systematically commit war atrocities.

Because the little hat people control our media and most of the politicians.

Trust fund radicals and liberal white women are easily manipulated.

there’s also the irony that Israel was created because of a supremacist genocide & now that’s what they are doing

You should be. Donald has tied every future administration directly to not just "peace" in the entire region, but also security in Gaza, and the eventual Gazan rebuild. How much do you trust future admins not to dump billions of taxpayer dollars into the region as the primary "peacekeepers"?

It is already starting. The "Board of Peace" and the body that is supposed to oversee the Gazan rebuild (which hasn't even been able to make it into Gaza to this point) is already struggling to launch with 8/10 countries that vowed to provide funding having yet to put in a penny — while we have already pledged $10 billion.

Then, of course there is the little part of the "20 point peace plan" that allows Hamas to remain in Gaza if they pinky promise that they won't get into any more shenanigans. Which, of course, has already given Israel the cover needed to continue whacking Hamas terrorists in Gaza despite the peace deal.

They never care about Sudan and Myanmar.
Let me know when the Trump meets with the president of Sudan in the Situation Room and brings the US into a war alongside Sudan for the security of Sudan, as the Sudanese fight with weapons paid for with American money.

Jews are fabulous at squeezing money or something out of you. Lot of taking but no giving.

Because the PTB are experts at manipulating people through propaganda and controlling the narrative. It used to be only TV but it’s gotten much worse with social media.

If they decided we should be down with the struggle for midgets in Liberia you’d see signs of little Liberians in peoples yards within 30 days.

They never care about Sudan and Myanmar. I don't think they even have heard of those crises, let alone care about them. If you ask most Americans (especially the type of Americans who go to pro-Palestine protests) where Sudan and Myanmar even are, most of them would probably guess that Sudan is the country south of Mexico, and Myanmar is two countries south of Mexico. They also never cared about Yemen when that was just a Saudi-Yemen conflict and Israel hadn't entered yet. (They probably would have guessed that Yemen is the country 3 countries south of Mexico lol.) And the Saudi-Yemen conflict was every bit as funded by US taxpayers as the Gaza conflict was. And, actually, the Sudan conflict is basically funded by the US, due to our funding of the UAE which in turn funds the RSF.

Yeah, I get the greater concern about the Iran War due to the US' really direct involvement in that, but these people were obsessing on Israel-Palestine (and no other conflicts) even before the Iran War

Because one side is our #1 ally who also:

Committed the greatest act of espionage against us in our history

Stole nuclear material from us

Donates hugely to our politicians as a foreign body (which buys control)

And well, cause it is in the ME.

I hate Israel and Palestine equally, but at least Palestine isn't a major player in our internal politics.

Because useful idiots are told to be.

It’s much more difficult to reach the same conclusions and the same level of obsession without simply being a gullible tool.

I get you are venting, but it’s pretty easy to explain.

Most people are stupid. Stupid people tend to do what they are told. MSM is telling them to care about this.

Because at its core, it’s a Muslims vs non-Muslims issue. No one would give a frick if it was a bunch of Indonesians that were being killed.

Muslims are fiercely protective of their own and will bully and attack those they perceive as a threat to Islamic interests.
