and their posse of politicians who dance to their tune like low class strippers with dollar bills stuffed in their G (goverrment)-string.

“How many Americans actually support genocide?”

The American public is clueless. No idea what is being done throughout the world in their name. Propaganda works. The corporate narrative is what they know and believe.

You are absolutely correct. I am truly demoralized by the Republican embrace of genocide. Recent statements by some of our politicians in support of genocide has left me speechless and angry.

Conservative Inc. sure seems to be fully on board with an expanded war. After all that we have been through, you would think that questions would be had about trusting the same cast of characters to wage a new war. But nope. Never learn, and suckers again.

Con-Inc. for sure, they don't go to D.C. to learn, they go to earn. The means justify the ends in this case.

I suspect that the Israeli military knows they’d get clobbered and how by Iran, so they’ve reverted to brutally attacking the weak and defenseless instead. As with Ukraine, but for differing reasons - although there are electoral considerations in each, the war (s) continue(s). I think whatever happens, the powers that be are ready to dump Biden or steal the election, or both!

Our (US Gov) response is two-faced and ghoulish. One face says don't do it, while the other sends money and weapons to support it. How can anyone not be ashamed of their country. Move aside Moochelle, millions more are for the first time are ashamed of our country.

Bernard was simply wrong. His remark presupposes that Israel arose somehow on its own, as a result of Zionists moving to Palestine. Any simpleton should be able to recognize that Israel is primarily a tool of Western hegemony and would not exist but for Western support. The proper question, therefore, has to do with the reasons behind Western support for the Zionist project. Is it strictly a tool of Western hegemony, has it at least in part taken on a life of its own, if so, how and why, etc.?

I don't like to be pessimistic, but ...

I don't expect "the Republicans" to play that card at all. As for Trump, we have yet to see a sign that he will.

I am increasingly dissatisfied with Trump. I see no hope here. The only reason to vote Trump, in my opinion, is to slow down the destruction of this country, maybe he can steer the ship to safer water, and hold some of this psychopathic animals to account. But his embrace of Israel, his relationship with Jared Kushner, et-al, and his inability to accept his failure with Covid and the vaccine makes me distrust him to do what he says he will do. When I speak to people and impart a POV that criticizes Israel, they go crazy and tell me I'm the one who is nuts. So, many people on the right continue to watch Fox, my wife does, I don't although I have to when she commandeers the T.V. during the day. The other day Jeannine Pirro offered up such an ill-informed rant about Hamas on behalf of Israel it made me want to puke. Fox is simply just another propaganda outlet unwilling to be truly honest in their coverage. Where is sanity hiding out these days?
