What I think is most unbelievable is that the Israelis actually think people are buying their BS excuses. They really need to take lessons from Trump who apparently can make millions believe the most ridiculous lies.

Israelis don't really care as long as people keep voting for the two parties which are in their pocket.
Isn't that what Netanyahu has being doing all along?
So all of a sudden
Maybe something happened that caused the shift? Hmm, what could it be?
Don't say it or you're an anti-semite. Shocking that opposing the murdering and starving of people is antisemitic.
Was right on the tip of my tongue, but can't quite come up with it. Something about a gen or side? Something like that I think.
genside? generation? genetics? idk
Now that trump is implementing centrists' only policy for them, they have to pretend to dislike it.
Committing genocide tends to turn the public against you.
And somehow that comment is antisemitic. Because the Nazis are Jewish now. I just want people to stop killing other people!
I just want people to stop killing other people!
hey, that's antisemitic! think of all the profits weapons companies could make, you're hurting them. what about their freedom?
Yeah, boy, wair for it: there're also a million less palestinians to sympathise with than there were 8 years ago. I think something is going on down there. Something very anti-semitic.
People still think the Democratic Party is a democratic institution lol
I mean, there wasn't an incredibly well documented, active genocide happening 8 years ago.
That has a lot of sway on public opinion.
It was an open air prison poised for a genocide then. I’m glad people are realizing that the Israeli is as evil as anything and they shield it with a blanket of “antisemitism” to shut everyone up. That old chestnut no longer is working.
Did you drop an /s ?
There was, in Palestine. In 2014, Israel murdered like 1,400 Palestinians. This is nowhere near new for Israel, it is SOP for 70 years. The difference is that social media platforms gave us a direct view that corporate media actively chooses to not show us, as you pointed to.
Reporting almost 60,000 killed in this current war. That’s over 40x as many. Not downplaying the 1,400 but let’s not pretend this isn’t a great escalation compared to the atrocities of the past
And likely much higher than that
I became aware in the last 2-3 years of the nineties, but I was always drawn to places that discussed these things.
Counterpoint: Iraq and Afghanistan
nonsensical whataboutism, find me contemporary sources calling either of those wars genocides or face my wrath
I would say that the most telling thing is that there hasn't been a similar shift among Republicsns.
Anyone who can look at what Israel has done and is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza, and increasingly in the West Bank, without being filled with horror, revulsion and pity is a monster.
Republicans are shitty people full stop.
Fox News simply isn't covering the genocide. There's your explanation.
Also look at what percentage of voters switched parties.
I hate you whoever came up with saying points instead of percentage.
It's because describing a 56 percentage point increase as 56 percent increase implies a totally different result. A 56 percentage point increase on 10% is 66%. A 56 percent increase on 10% is 15.6%.
Holy shit
Thank you for posting this.
The people are rousing and that at least is consoling in the midst of this ongoing genocide by the state of Israel.
Yeah, democrats while flawed, are disproportionately comprised of compassionate human beings, who can recognize the difference between self defense and murder. That's why Orange McFayg has been trying to demonize them and their 'beliefs'.
It's literally an attack on anyone who may show compassion, or inner reflection, remorse... You know human traits
Lmao yeah right they finally discovered their humanity and empathy after two years of bombing.
Liberals are always against wars. Except the current ones of course
McFayg?
It’s only deep blue states, won’t impact the country by much. Not to say rest of country are evil, they just care about their own interests and enjoy Fox News.
That is evil when you are the only country that can stop this.
...when you're the country that is actually financing this. Take away US assistance, Israel would be a poverty stricken backwater.
People finally realized the entrenched "democrats" aren't good people. They are poloticians just like the Republicans. We need a new party.
They are not "just like Republicans". Yes, they're corrupt, and it's important to realize that. But like, holy shit man one party is literal fascists, and the other isn't. That said, need labor party
Yes, they’re corrupt, and it’s important to realize that.
They're also, you know, actively genocidal.
