[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a right-winger who wants America to stay out of all of these wars, I nonetheless have to say that I am shocked that probably 30-40% of the right opposes Israel.  (That’s a completely made-up figure based on my impression of the zeitgeist on X).

We conservatives generally believe in accountability, strength and power. This is why support among conservatives for something like the BLM movement is approximately 0%.  The black people who end up in encounters with the police are 100% responsible for their circumstances.  As police body cams have proven, there is by and large not even the slightest bit of racism toward them.  When encounters turn fatal, it is the criminals’ fault—and the police do us all a great service by protecting us from the worst members of society.

To me, it is just as clear that Hamas is the aggressor in the Middle East.  The October 7 attack was utterly subhuman degeneracy and evil. Israel rightfully said that they cannot allow that to happen again and are totally justified in hitting back hard in the war that Hamas started. Oh, you think they’re being too mean now? Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!

The most astonishing thing is seeing Palestinians weeping about a “genocide” now. Many of them are the same people who were cheering utter barbarism against Israelis on October 7.  Even in the US, many Palestinian supporters were fired from their jobs for cheering the ghastly, brutal and indefensible October 7 attack.  (This was so indefensible that “cancel culture” had to be applied to the left for the very first time.)  And now they’re complaining that Israel is just a bunch of big, bad meanies and is responding too harshly? Give me an effing break!

It’s so clear that Israel are the good guys and Hamas are the bad guys.  I’m shocked that this is not a universally-held position among conservatives, just as is opposition to BLM.  To be clear, the 30-40% of conservatives do not support Hamas; they just dislike Israel too (for reasons they can never clearly articulate).[/quote]

Thankful beyond measure not to have anyone in my orbit foolish enough to express thoughts as repulsive as yours. It’s individuals like you that cause me to seriously reconsider whether a schism in the U.S. is feasible because your sense of reality doesn’t belong in any community that I’d ever call home.[/quote]
