The US, yeah. The rest of us not so much

well at least the western leaders have all sent out very strong messages over the last few days condemning the palestinian authority and backing israel. and western countries pour money and aid into israel. so it doesn't matter what the average citizen thinks.

i mean i know there are tons of people in the US who aren't pro-israel either or are growing increasingly frustrated with them but it doesn't matter, because our leaders *publicly* are and so is the media. also those who aren't exactly pro-Israel here tend to keep their mouths shut about it.

and that's all i wanna say.

I just read Mehdi Hasan's HuffPo bit and he went IN, as per

I mean, I think he's on the fence but IDK

Over here only the populists are loud in their support of Israel, so I can side-eye that without even thinking about what's going on.
Because when you do, you may realize what an endless situation it is o_o

The American pro-Israel lobbyists terrify me though.

I don't know too much about that tbh, beyond that the US and Israel are strong allies.

Are the lobbyist quite strong?

Depends on your sources, of course. I heard/read some horror stories about blackmail/political support being taken back and so on.

Yep. There's a lot of money in that corner and well.. you know how that works.
