    I cannot stress enough how much I do not care about Israel.

    I care about Canada and Mexico. We should be a strong continent but we have singlehandedly ruined our reputation in 2 years.

    Outside of them, and if you aren’t Five Eyes; quite frankly, we shouldn’t even be talking (outside of trade).

    So tired of being a war-reliant economy. It’s like being with a toxic partner.

      Uh, you understand that what happens in one country impacts other countries yes? Climate change for example. Space policy, human rights, etc.

        Human rights in one country generally does not affect another except as inspiration for popular revolution; but the other two have some point.

        However, realistically, no. Israel’s existence specifically should not impact anything in the US. The fact that it does is down to just pure corruption and nothing else. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, every US citizen would be better off (not that the white supremacists that created Israel wouldn’t push for just a different Israel to be created.)

    How about you first focus on the country you are supposed to represent and the people you represent, but i guess you have to show loyalty to those that “donate” to you, fucking bootlicker.

    He probably means greater Israel is not going fast enough, we need a major change. He couldn’t even say the world a free independent palestine first

    Yeah any change except you doing the right thing and stepping aside. He will burn this country to the ground for his own personal ambitions.

        Did you watch the video? He says he wants an independent Palestine too…

        And did you read what I said? I said his actions would tell the tale. That’s the tale they are telling right now, even though his words are saying something else.

          i believe we can both be true in this case. he may say he wants an impossible 2 state solution. which is a lie, but he said that israel needs to be protected and will continue to arm israel, so they can continue the genocide, which i think he intends and he believes.

          Adding to what the other person said, as MLK said justice delayed too long is justice denied. It’s possible to be a filthy Zionist like Jeffries and still have a white moderate stance towards Palestine.

            Not arguing with that.

            I need to be more clear in my statements.

            Jeffries has repeatedly supported the genocide. It doesn’t matter what he says if his actions continue to support that genocide.

            Also, you can’t want Independent Palestine AND be a Zionist. The point of Zionism is that the Jewish population takes away Palestine from the Palestinians.
