[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless Israel has figured out how to hack voting machines and rig American elections, this dishonest blackmailer and his manipulative antisemitism allegations have zero chance of winning even the Democratic primary. The whole country is sick of Israel's shills and their shameless abuse of Holocaust guilt to cover all manner of misdeeds.[/quote]

The “whole country”?  Do you have a cite for that?[/quote]

Nutjobs like the PP always think their radical views are shared by everyone else.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

I'm curious, can you expand a little on the different reasons? [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
