      Lmao I’m pretty sure the main argument is for the US to stop sending billions in aid and weapons to Israel (and in this case, for Columbia to not invest in Israel)

      US support is the only way it’s survived this long, so really we’d like them to be less of the world police.

        Israel is our biggest ally in the Middle East. They literally are our extension in an area that hates America and will stop at nothing to kill us. These “protestors” have no idea how imperative it is that we support Israel because without support, they’d get invaded, slaughtered, and wiped out by the countries surrounding them. The whole point of Israel was to create a home for Jewish people, so that they’d have somewhere to call home if anything like the Holocaust were to ever happen again.

          Lmao I wonder why anyone around there hates America…

          Also I’m sure they found a home for them somewhere where nobody else was or at least moved in peacefully with a joint administration right

            You can hate America all you want, it won’t change what happened Post WW2. The fact is Israel is a state for Jewish people now, because those more powerful countries at the time (that lost millions of lives to stop the Axis powers) had to do something for the Jewish people that were misplaced. They made a collective decision, based on what they thought was right at the time. The argument if Palestine belonged to anyone can go back and forth (although at the time it was colonized by the UK) however, it’s easy to look back now 75 years later and say “well, they shouldn’t have done that!” Israel isn’t going anywhere, even without US support, they’ll fight until they’re dead because that’s their home now.

              That’s such a scary way to look at things. By your own narrative, you basically have to genocide the brown people that still left there. I mean, otherwise there will never be peace, right?

              Maybe you could try using the slogan:

              GENOCIDE FOR PEACE (EVENTUALLY)

              Unfortunately for you, y’all never entirely genocided all the brown people here so you’ve got a bit of a fight on your hands. A lot of us are US citizens now and as you could maybe imagine we don’t really support genocide, for really any reason

          Preventing geanocide with more genocide.
          The tragedy of the Holocaust was the death, not the enthnicity of the slain.
          They lost the plot, and so have our leaders.
