This makes sense when you realize that a lot of right wing antisemites don’t want the Jews to die immediately, they want the Jews in Israel so they can fulfill their Rapture Checklist and have Jesus come back. That’s why their pro-Israel. It’s not out of some pro-Jewish Identity stance for right wingers.
I really don’t think I am, it’s only Young Republicans who dislike Israel, the older ones support Israel out of the aforementioned Evangelical logic. The younger ones still vote Republican because they hate seeing a brown guy in the grocery store more than they hate voting for Israel funding. And Donald Trump and his party appeal to guys who get infuriated upon seeing a brown guy in the grocery store.
Yeah, she is older than plenty of countries, but most of those countries don’t claim ancient land rights as an excuse to slaughter the other ethnicity that inhabits that piece of land, on my dime, no less. So yeah I got a particular bone to pick with the one that my country assists in its atrocities. Which is why it’s also Fuck Saudi Arabia.
I was vocal about how we should’ve stopped military support to Saudi Arabia when they were engaged in aiding the genocide in Yemen which began in 2011, and had created a blockade that was starving the country out. I remember being FUMING when Congress passed a law to stop helping Saudi Arabia do that shit, and Trump vetoed it. My smoke for American-enabled atrocity has never been exclusive to Israel. Israel is just the most prominent example in the conversation at the moment.
