Do most voters care either way about Israel?

I’m sick of hearing about it, talking about it or even thinking about it.

I’m with Matt Walsh on the subject. I really don’t care either way.

All this energy in our political discourse about it, and for what. . . Is it a top 10 issue for anyone aside from Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens?

Are there polls on the topic? I would love to see some with Do Not Care as an option.

The divide in the GOP is between a VERY small foreign policy faction and MAGA. The foreign policy faction is small but very well funded and has DC very near 100% occupied.

I was pretty neutral on the subject of Israel/Jews.

Now I'm annoyed.

Lots of Evangelicals have it in their top 3-5 I'd imagine. Israel is big in the Bible Belt.

Pew







quote:

The survey also found that “traditionalist” evangelicals – who are characterized by a high level of orthodox belief and a high level of church attendance, and who are the largest subgroup of evangelicals – are even more likely to agree that U.S. policy should tilt towards Israel: 64% agreed, while 18% disagreed, with 18% expressing no opinion. (According to a post-election analysis sponsored by the Pew Forum, “traditionalist” evangelicals provided Bush with 27% of his vote total in 2004.)

Pew Forum-sponsored surveys show that, between 2000 and 2004, evangelicals showed the greatest increase in support for Israel of any religious group: up 14% since 2000, to 52%.

It’s a salient point but it’s the damn foreign policy establishment allowing Muslim infiltration.

“Do yall care about Israel and all the money we spend there?”

“Not really”

“Do yall care about runaway inflation?”

“Oh hell yeah”

“Thanks, I guess”

Fatigue I think has settled in a bit. Their enemies have collapsed around them. We are not invading Iran. Their economy is fine. 26th in the world. Ranked near the top in innovation. The Holy Land has never left no matter who has occupied it. Most of those of faith are not that geographically dependent. As its a really big Universe. So my thoughts on Israel Like the Mines of Moria..."speak friend and enter".

He cares. He's just working whatever psy-op du jour Shapiro has devised for him today.

Matt Walsh once posted a picture of Magnus HIrshfeld on twitter and cited him as an example of evil 'nazi science.'

There's no way Walsh is too dumb to know who HIrshfeld really was, so I just have to assume he's a liar. Because he is.

What is the saying, you will know who has control over you because you are not allowed to criticize them. In America, if you say the least bit negative about israel/jews you are an antisemite. Which can be deadly to your career.

It has become a major issue now because people are noticing the influence now. Especially young voters

I think Israel/ME is much bigger online than in real life.

Economy is #1 for most voters.

Pretty sure that was created by an avowed antisemite specifically to spread his hatred of Jews. He then falsely attributed it to Voltaire so that normal people thought it was intellectual and didn't realize that they were being a sock puppet for Nazism

I'm more concerned about the number of our representatives who seem to be more loyal to Israel than the U.S. because their bread is buttered by AIPAC.

I’m of the mind that we should have Israel’s back if they need it, but I don’t want them dragging us into fights that they’re starting.
