The “whole country”? Do you have a cite for that?

Nutjobs like the PP always think their radical views are shared by everyone else.


DP. Guess you do not follow US politics. The right, center, independents and left all hate Israel each for different reasons. They all in the strongest term wants to end the US relationship with Israel.


I'm curious, can you expand a little on the different reasons?


The right- replacement theology, perceived hostility to Christians, White Nationalism, media coverage and conspiracy theories. Jewish people are seen as the primary existential threat to the "white race" and the masterminds behind a conspiracy to destroy white society. A secret cabal of Jewish people is orchestrating demographic changes—such as immigration and civil rights laws—to marginalize white people. They will sometimes support Jews killing Muslims because they want both Jews and Muslims removed.

The Center and Independents- foreign spending, avoidance of foreign wars, America First and sees the treatment of Palestinians as unfair and unAmerican. They see Israel as receiving endless amounts of free aid, deals and special treatment because they have control of the US political system.

The Left- genocide, treatment of the Palestinians, crimes against humanity, Israel’s human rights record, Israeli apartheid state, Israelis endless wars and Israel’s refusal to address the root cause of the problem(the taking of Palestinians property and forced removal). Israel is seen as a far right fanatical religion regime with no western values.


Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to …

The PP thought they were being cute, but the response above - deadeye accurate, mind you - paints the inconvenient truth.

The center and left segments of the population (let’s say 60-65% of the population) don’t loathe Israel for any reason other than its policies and actions, for its dependence on U.S. welfare to enable those horrific, immoral policies and actions, and for its disgusting hubris and arrogance in the face of global pressure to alleviate the suffering it has caused (and continues to cause) to the region’s indigenous people.

Sorry you didn’t get the “cuz the joos!” response you hoped you’d get, PP. Better luck next time, I guess.


PP, I asked to expand on the reasons. "Never ask a question..." type comments don't help in discussions.


If someone plays ignorant as to the myriad reasons why Israel is condemned by essentially 97-98% of the global population, their agenda is typically quite clear - to avoid addressing the plentiful underlying, legitimate reasons for the condemnation and instead reach for the handy, dandy anti-semitism card.

Josh Shapiro Writes That Harris Team Asked if He Had Ever Been an Israeli Agent
In his new memoir, the Pennsylvania governor suggests that when Kamala Harris’s team vetted him to be her running mate, aides focused on Israel to an extent he found offensive.
Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a prominent Democrat who was a top contender to serve as former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, offered his most detailed accounting to date of the vice-presidential search process in his new memoir, which was obtained by The New York Times.

In short: He suggests that it was far uglier than is commonly known.

In Mr. Shapiro’s book, “Where We Keep the Light,” the governor is measured in describing his interactions with Ms. Harris herself. But Mr. Shapiro, who is Jewish, details a contentious vetting process in which Ms. Harris’s team focused intensely on his views on Israel — so much so that at one point, he wrote, he was asked if he had ever been an agent of the Israeli government.

“Had I been a double agent for Israel?” wrote Mr. Shapiro, describing his incredulous response to a last-minute question from the vetting team. He responded that the question was offensive, he wrote, and was told, “Well, we have to ask.”

“Have you ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel?” the questioner, Dana Remus, a former White House counsel, continued, according to Mr. Shapiro, who recounted, “If they were undercover, I responded, how the hell would I know?”

Well I guess this is why he did not help her in Pa or was he just up set he was not selected?


Pretty thin-skinned. He can't take a VP vetting?

Shapiro won't win the Democrat 2028 nomination for POTUS. An AG appointment? Maybe.

He worked in the Israeli embassy's hasbara office for a bit in the 90s so not an unreasonable question.

He’s a good governor.

But Dems won’t vote for him because he’s a Jew.

Republicans won’t vote for him for the same reason.

Please explain how he became governor of a purple state without the Democratic vote. Stupid people writing stupid things with a fork tongue.


These are the same people who said two-term Obama could never win a general election and that women aren't good candidates. Ignore them. The vast majority of us just want a decent leader to step up and we don't care about their irrelevant personal characteristics.


He is even close to Obama though he tries to mimic his speaking style. Shapiro is not a decent leader. Put him forward as your knight in shining armor. He will not win one state.

+1 NP to this thread, plain old liberal Democrat who’s been interested in Shapiro because he’s the governor of a must-win state and his approval rating there is sky high. This strikes me as petty BS. He put that sh!t on his resume so he needs to answer questions about it if he’s being vetted to be VP and it’s not antisemitism to do that.

This is why Genocide Josh can't win a national election. He's unremorseful for Israeli actions in Gaza and it's 24/7 anti-semitism.

Josh Shapiro, in his own words, on political violence and antisemitism

IDF allows illegal jew settlers to invade Palestinian community. IDF shoots 3 Palestinians for no valid reason, including 1 American, and allows illegal jew settlers to beat on that American's body lying on the ground. The illegal jew settlers steal all the livestock and are allowed to leave by the IDF.

So many war crimes and crimes against humanity during this incident.

Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman say nothing. MIGA!!

Josh Shapiro Doesn’t Care if You Kill A Pennsylvania Citizen

Nasrallah Abu Siyam [a US Citizen] was just trying to save his neighbors’ goats. He was 19 years old, and he was living in the small village of Mukhmas in the occupied West Bank, northeast of Jerusalem. On February 18, the first day of Ramadan, Israeli settlers stormed into the town wearing masks and carrying assault rifles. Among them were several IDF soldiers. The settlers tried to steal the Palestinian community’s small herd of goats and sheep, its main economic lifeline; the people of Mukhmas objected, and were met with “tear gas and stun grenades.” Some of the settlers threw rocks; some of the villagers threw rocks back. Then, as the BBC reports, the Israelis opened fire, shooting “at least three of the villagers, including Abu Siyam, who was struck fatally.”

“Nasrallah was shot in the thigh, the bullet severing his main artery. Settlers crowded around him after he fell, striking him with rods.” As the raiders left with the animals, an ambulance was called, but it was delayed by IDF checkpoints. When it finally arrived, “Nasrallah was bleeding heavily in the back seat, his pulse fading.” He lost so much blood that doctors couldn’t save him, and he died that night.

[As] an American, he also had elected officials sworn to represent him: Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman. He was their constituent, gunned down by foreign criminals. But Pennsylvania’s top elected leaders still can’t be bothered to say a word about it.

Other U.S. leaders have condemned Siyam’s murder. In a statement on February 23, Representative Rashida Tlaib called for “Justice for Nasrallah Abu Siyam,” saying that “the Israeli apartheid regime and its settler gangs have murdered yet another U.S. citizen in the West Bank, and our government does absolutely nothing.” She’s right about that: Siyam is actually the sixth Palestinian American murdered in the West Bank in the last two years, either by settlers or the IDF itself, and it hasn’t resulted in any serious action being taken against the settler movement.

In a TV appearance on MSNOW, Representative Brendan Boyle of Philadelphia has also called for an “honest and open investigation” into his constituent’s killing, saying that “our own government needs to have the backs of its own citizens, regardless of where the killing takes place.” Representative Ro Khanna, too, is reportedly “outraged.”

Not so, apparently, for Shapiro and Fetterman. At the time of writing, if you scroll through Governor Shapiro’s press releases, you’ll find no mention of Nasrallah Abu Siyam, although Shapiro has announced an update to railway safety regulations and flags at half-staff for the death of Jesse Jackson. Likewise, you’ll search in vain for anything on Shapiro’s Twitter page about the killing, though he has tweeted about Olympic hockey and the trend of kids using AI friend simulators. It’s the same with Fetterman: nothing in his official press releases, and nothing on his social media, though he has time to go on Fox News and condemn Hasan Piker.

Fetterman is 10x the POS …

At least Shapiro supports genocide for personal reasons. That worthless sack of trash Fetterman does it for some blend of corruption and mental illness.
