What on earth is the political advantage ?
An unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east to further the US' imperial ambitions
I asked myself the same thing. Lots of layers to that. A foothold in the middle east is among them. A lot more surprising are the radical Christians that somehow like the radical Jews. Also selling guns, and a few more cultural things too.
I feel like there's something bigger we're missing. Both parties seem willing to gamble on losing the election over support for Israel, even now.
Genocidal fascists
And I hate them for that... but funny enough I hate them less than the other idiots who want to dismantle my livelihood
What would it take for you to reject both?
Much like everyone else who shares that opinion, a viable third option that doesn’t throw the election to the right wing when you vote for it
Voting in elections is literally the least engagement you can possibly have with governance without it being none at all. It's okay to "throw your vote away" if you are actually engaged. You make more of a difference in one day than any vote you cast makes.

Crazy. This was voted on by the delegates?
Are these the very same delegates who received their mandate as a result of the primary process in which Muslim voters overwhelmingly refused to submit even a single vote?
It's almost as if you're suggesting that refusing to participate in the democratic process means that your ideas will largely be discounted, as you bring literally nothing to the table in terms of political capital, but that just doesn't seem quite right?
Look, I'm 100% for peace in Gaza & on earth more broadly, but you can't refuse to return your RSVP and then act shocked that the host didn't save you a place at the table.

Of course not. That's way too fine to tightrope for them to walk for it to be summed up in a platform at the convention. I hate that it's that way, but it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation for them. Therefore it's an entirely numbers-based strategy, no matter what the actual may believe.
Neither does Republican, right?
Didn't Trump say that Israel should just "finish the job"?
