More Americans express sympathy for the Israelis (46%) than the Palestinians (33%) in the Middle East situation, but the margin has shrunk to a new low.
So what are they going to do? This is what happens when you prop up & support ethno religious states. Don’t want it then stop supporting Israel’s existence.
The problem isn’t that Israel is an ethno-religious state, it’s that it’s a genocidal, apartheid, settler-colonial state imposing itself on someone else’s land, and it’s trying to ethnically cleanse that land of its indigenous peoples, and it’s trying to expand its territory into a “Greater Israel,” extending its project of ethnic cleansing ever wider.

You can support Israel without supporting what they’re doing.
Edit: the state of Israel
You can support israelis by sending them back to Poland or to hell.
Israel is what it is doing. It was founded on settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing.
What would “support” look like in this case? How do you ensure that support isn’t weaponised and used to promote genocide?
How do you ensure the alternative doesn’t?
