I mean, all they have to do is stop the occupation, apologize, and commit to funding the rebuilding of Palestine and paying reparations for their crimes...then we'll stop BDS

The bummer here is that, until the US stops protecting them (which is never, ever going to happen), it doesn't matter a whole lot in the end.

But I'd still like to see the US cut Israel off.

idk, I think the majority of US Jews under 30 oppose the genocide while the majority of US Jews over 30 are blindfolded Zionists.

I think we're seeing a paradigm shift. The last Nakba wasn't live-streamed.

I have hope for the US joining BDS as the boomers die off in the coming decades.

I hope you're right.

I had a similar feeling when the 2010 census showed a 28% increased in mixed-race families nationwide, and now a mere 14 years later we're months away from becoming an openly fascist country. (I'd argue we're already a closet fascist country)

The fascists are the minority
