Israel was wrongfully created.

Ensuring the safety of Jews in all nations is one thing. I would give my life for the religious liberty of all people. Creating a nationalist "homeland" on someone else's land is unconscionable. Zionism and Nazism are eerily similar.

1) no you wouldn’t.

2) Israel has been the ancestral land of Jews since shortly after they escaped slavery in Egypt. Jews have been living in what is now Israel 4000 years before Islam existed.

This has nothing to do with Islam. When Jews were being persecuted all over Europe, Jews were living peacefully all over the Middle East and North Africa. Muslims and Jews lived peacefully in the same lands for thousands of years. It is only when Israel was created in 1948 that all hell broke loose.

Life will gradually get better and better and more peaceful everywhere as conservative Christians, Jews, and Muslims continue to die out and are replaced by higher IQ normal people of younger generations that aren't mind controlled by hateful religious beliefs formed thousands of years ago by people with cavemen intelligence.

You do know that atheists and secular people are behind the largest atrocities based on death tolls?

And most Americans are living on Indians’ ancestral lands. Should that land revert back too?

+1 If Israel was wrongfully created, so were the countries in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Australasia, and Southern Africa plus Liberia. Please feel free to add some I have forgotten.

Israel is the only one actively engaged in a holocaust. Something must be done.

Please identify the "holocaust" in which Israel is engaging?

What we do know is that one side engaged in a massive terrorist attack on October 7th. But for that attack, there wouldn't be an Israel-Gaza war currently (Israel left Gaza in 2005).

Because the world began in 2005? What about the West Bank and constantly adding settlements and stealing more land there? You are a moron

What about a 24/7 shoot-on-sight land, sea and air blockade.

F this constant lie about Israel “leaving” Gaza in 2005 … they left Gaza in the exact same way that ADX or CECOT prisoners are left in their f’ing cells.

Simple solution to all of that. Leave Israel alone. Why does.Gaza fire rockets into Israel targeting civilians? How do settlements in the West Bank justify that?

How many countries is the IDF in right now? How many people has Israel killed outside its borders? How many embassies have Israel bombed. How many Iranian citizens and government officials have Israel assassinated in Iran? How many terrorists bombing has Israel committed in Iran?How many Americans has the IDF killed? How many bombs has Israel dropped in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria? How many Americans has Israel had arrested in the US?

Israel needs to leave the world alone. The world would be a better place without Israel.

+1 I used to be a R, and pro-Israel.. until they kept encroaching on Palestinian lands causing turmoil in the ME again and again. Why can't the Israelis stop lighting the tinderbox of an already volatile situation in the ME, causing the US to have to keep churning the industrial war complex? I'm sick of giving money to Israel.

I thought MAGA were sick of giving money to foreign wars. Why aren't they protesting Trump giving money to Israel for their war?

? So, a foreign country keeps settling into your lands, and you want Palestinians to just leave Israel alone to do that? I don't support kidnapping civilians. Not one bit. But, Israel has been oppressing and land grabbing Palestine for decades.

What justifies Israel stealing Palestinian lands? Israel brought on some of this themselves.

No, because support for Hamas isn’t getting better. Americans don’t support terrorists.

Nobody outside of Gaza supports Hamas. Even inside Gaza people are demonstrating against Hamas. Stop with this propaganda that equates supporting Palestinian rights with being “pro Hamas.” That is utter BS.

NP. Given the number of protests in the US where protestors are waving Hamas flags, you are clearly lying.

What utter BS. I have never, ever seen a Hamas flag at a pro-Palestine demonstration.

Oh for God’s sake, cut the stupidity. There are plenty of photos from the past year on various news sites, if you are able to manage that basic task.

I am so sick and tired of the gaslighting and lies that come from both the pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli side. I want to wash my hands of the whole d*** region. Both sides are full of bloodthirsty terrible liars.

My opinion of Israel and its supporters has sharply declined over the past year, so I would be part of this poll. But you know what else has sharply declined? My opinion of Palestine and its supporters.

They all deserve each other.

Oh please. Like you ever had a high opinion of Palestinians. That’s laughable.

I used to go to protests on behalf of Palestine. I sent repeated letters to my reps criticizing Israel and arguing for aid to Palestine. I suspect that’s more than 99% of the Hamas-flag lovers on university campuses today.

That was all well before Oct. 7th. I of course do nothing of the sort now.

DP. You're full of shit. Try harder, troll.

Oh please. You just can’t imagine anybody disagreeing with you, because you are a religious fundamentalist.

The both sides argument isn’t good enough. American taxpayers don’t want to fund a genocide. If the US were a neutral party then you could both sides it, but that’s not the case.

Fine. I want to cut all aid to the region. I don’t trust that any aid that goes to Palestine isn’t used for terrorism and I don’t trust that any aid that goes to Israel isn’t used for genocide.

I have an extremely low opinion of the entire region now, both Palestine and Israel, and want no American taxpayer money going there at all. Not to Israel, not to Palestine, no military aid, no fake humanitarian aid. End all taxpayer money to the region, of all kinds.

The aid we provide to Palestine is pennies compared to what we provide to Israel. I’m sure one of their neighbors would just step in to replace that aid.

“Adjusting for inflation, US aid to Israel from 1951 to 2022 totaled $317.9 billion”

Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign aid.

Arguable, but the issue for me is this: the deaths in the name of religion are always going to be 100x worse because they hide behind faith.

Given that their neighbors won’t take any refugees, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

But that’s fine anyhow. I don’t want any money going to that region from US taxpayers. Not fake aid, not military, nothing.

I hate this situation. I want Israel to exist. I think it does need to. The Jewish people have been persecuted across countries and I support their need for a homeland. If it was wrong to set it up where it is now it is just as wrong all the other countries that were created where other people already lived including ours - and we aren’t giving the land back to the Native Americans so it is hypocritical to tell Israel to give it back.

But. The current government and the right wing keeping them in power in Israel is evil. And that right wing side keeps growing so it is hard to see how to ever stop the doom spiral they are in now.
