[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the change is very recent and due to the Gaza mass murder, I am afraid that opinion will swing back once Gaza gets out of the news cycle and the Israeli propaganda works hard to whitewash all of it.

Pro Israeli sentiment might never reach the heights it once did, but I think it will increase again. Public opinion is entirely manipulated by (dis)information, and Palestinians and their supporters just don't have the organizational and financial clout that Israelis have in this country.

Unfortunately.

I don’t think so. I think that it’s really more about Americans feeling like Israel takes a tremendous amount of money and resources from the United States and basically just does what they want. So while many people have sympathy for Gazans many more just don’t like Israeli’s. I don’t think that being against the actions of Israel is necessarily antisemitism it definitely is giving antisemitic people like Tucker Carlson a “respectable” thing to criticize. [/quote]

You might be right, because Americans are stupid and easily misled by he nose. Criticize Israel's behavior all you want, but the reality is that the amount of financial support for  Israel is huge for Israel (10% of their budget during war years), it's tiny for USA (less than 0.1% of ours) and the aid is in the form of military machinery, so it's actual cost is a heavy discount from its value. You aren't hoping to live in a missle and eat bullets, are you? [/quote]
