Israel has lost the war. Young people don't like Israel. Right wingers hate Jews. Leftists hate apartheid. There is no way out.

Military, oil, and other megacorporations love Israel though.

Majority opinion doesn't matter as much as that of the capitalist ruling class under capitalism, unless there's massive protests and riots.

Why does oil love Israel?

[-] Arelin@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

Keeping the middle east divided and at war gets them better deals.

[-] Geobloke@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

They'd be better off destroying OPEC not Gaza

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Israel is America's military base to surpress the middle east with. And America uses it to kill governments that don't want to give them free oil or use the petro dollar.

Not sure if it's true but I've heard there are huge oil reserves off the coast of Gaza.

Lots of right leaning conservatives in America dick ride the Zionists.

But ig they don't represent all right wingers

The issue is bipartisan. Dems love Israel just the same it seems.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Democrats in power are fully bought by the israeli AIPAC lobby. Joe Biden is a major recipient of israeli bribes.

Israel is currently spending 100 million to replace the Democrats that don't support their apartheid, such as Ilhan Omar or AOC. https://newrepublic.com/post/176959/aipac-spending-target-squad-2024-election

And then the Democrats feign outrage about foreign interference in US elections. Just like they (rightly) say we have to defeat Trump to save democracy, all while actively rigging the 2024 primary - even canceling it in states like Florida.

Democrats are a far bit better than Republicans, but they are sure doing everything possible to undermine their own messaging.

[-] Sami_Uso@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

At least with republicans you know they're awful from the jump they don't really try to hide their shit baggery. Dems try to play the good guy but are like wolves in sheep's clothing

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 2 points 9 months ago

More like sheep in shepard's clothing I think. They give the sheep a false sense of security but, when the wolves appear, suddenly they are sheep again, or nowhere to be found.

[-] lilsolar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

ywah absolutely

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

You got the Christo-Con old guard Republicans who will drop to their knees at the drop of a hat to suck the nearest Israeli's dick. They make up majority of the over-60s, which is frankly a pretty major segment of the Republicans. These are the guys who will automatically side with our greatest ally regardless of context.

Trump-leaning but not fanatical Republicans tend to be pro-Zionism or at the very least they are neutral to it. I feel like this group is exceedingly small.

But MAGA-ers? It's hard to place them. You get a mix bag of hardcore Zionists, white nationalists, libertarians who are against the funding, it's all over the fucking place.

I do feel like Zionism is dropping among Republicans year by year.

Let’s see Bean Shapeepee cope with this

[-] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

They haven't lost anything. They have the full support of almost the entirety of the US government, hence the $100+ billion in additional funding on top of the billions they already receive every single year. Although the tides are changing, they're changing so slowly that any trace of Palestine will likely be wiped off the map long before the possibility of a majority Palestinian-favoring congress ever forms. Israel are accelerating their ethnic cleansing efforts to ensure this.
