  • I feel like these chickens are gonna come home to roost eventually. Rising antisemitism is real among right-wingers, and it’s easy to see how chuds could believe “Jews control the media” narratives when every politician ever is seemingly bending over backwards to serve Israel. Many “America First” chuds are upset that their guys are prioritizing a foreign country over their own.

    There’s gonna come a turning point where the Zionist entity falls or support is no longer beneficial to the US, at that point right-wing figures will no longer pretend to care about antisemitism and I fear all hell will break loose for Jews in the West.









  • I saw some other discussion on hexbear about people asking why the USA loves israel so much.

    I think it’s a multitude of factors. The geopolitical one you mentioned is probably the most significant, Israel destabilizes the middle east and terrorizes Arab nations without any Americans being put at risk. It’s very convenient.

    There’s also the religious factor for fundamentalist Evangelicals, which is a non-insignificant fraction of Republican lawmakers. They believe that Jews returning to Israel is necessary to start the rapture or something.

    Then you have the ideological factor of racial supremacy. Israeli settlers are overwhelmingly white. They support Israel because it’s whites against browns and they believe white people have a right to take from lesser races as they please.

    And lastly, corruption. AIPAC turns US support for Israel into a self-perpetuating cycle. The US government gives money to Israel and lobbyists pay a fraction of it back to individual US lawmakers so they keep voting to send Israel more.
