Do you and cupertino work in the same office? Both of you are peddling the same talking points. It's the same thing in every israel related thread. All over social media. More american tax dollars at work I suppose.

> Pew [1] has a pretty much even split on military support for Israel

That's embarrassing given the decades long pro-israel propaganda campaign and the nearly 100% political backing.

But me and my 'remarkably absurd logic'. Using my 'remarkably absurd logic', I'm guessing this thread is flagged because the 'antisemites' who run this site don't want to see the outpouring of love of israel. Every israel related thread must be flagged because of the impending pro-israel comments from americans. Right?

Every social media platform censors because they don't want americans to drown israelis with love. It all makes sense now.

On our side we have actual polls, on your side you have a bunch of snide remarks and mental gymnastics.

Our side? What side is that? Israel's side?

> on your side you have a bunch of snide remarks and mental gymnastics.

If that was the case, you and your buddy/alt account wouldn't be so frantically responding to me.

You have to do a poll to see if your parents love you too? If america's support of israel is so apparent, you wouldn't need polls. You certainly wouldn't need to censor so heavily.

This is getting stupid. This is the problem with israel. I don't give a shit about it. America ( at least 99% of it ) has nothing to do with it. And yet, it is wasting so much of my time and america's time. I hope within my lifetime we won't have to waste so much time and resources on a foreign nonsense. Whether that be israel, taiwan, cuba, etc. More importantly, I hope one day americans can express ourselves freely as is our right.

We're not frantic. You can go ahead and stop responding anytime.

"Censor" - I guess that's your term for "disagree." AFAICT you're free to say whatever you like about Israel. Like you're doing right now.

No one has to pay attention to you, though. Maybe that's your idea of censorship.

The side of people who recognize that the following statement is false:

> The american people are mostly against israel and sending billions to israel.

> If that was the case, you and your buddy/alt account wouldn't be so frantically responding to me.

This is funny because you're responding as fast as both of us put together but somehow we're the "frantic" ones.

The rest is more of the same snide remarks and mental gymnastics so I won't bother responding to it.

> a pretty much even split

that reminds me of the "mostly peaceful protests" in Portland.

Face it: not everyone agrees with you. That's our right.

That's silly. The police were doing a considerable amount of violent suppression of protests in Portland. People even started calling the mayor "tear gas Ted"

The protestors themselves mostly did property crimes though. The "broken windows" crowd and the far right media tried to make this out to be "violence", but even the police-reported violent crime statistics don't really support that view
