this seems like a decent primer
Why the US and Israel are so close
Ever wondered why the United States is such a strong supporter of Israel? Here's your answer.

Tell us how you really feel OP. The text clearly indicated some modicum of support for Palestine and no expansion of current borders. Not ideal obviously but its quite different than what your title suggests.
okay, fuck israel and fuck the democrats who side with the oppressors over palestine. modicums and half measures don't cut it when we're talking about genocide, thanks!

That's a pretty good article that sums it up.
this one is in the same vein (and by the same author no less!) but is from 2018 as opposed to 2014 so it's more current/relevant
Why are the US and Israel so friendly?
Why the US and Israel have had such a close relationship for so long.

In addition to compromising on marijuana legislation and inevitably the unemployment benefits, will anyone please tell me the inspiring part?
They're not Republicans is still the only argument they got.
OP has so little faith in the community to discuss this topic rationally they had to shit out that thread title.
Who's surprised? Not me, being shit to Palestinians is bipartisan.
Using that unity bullshit excuse and saying one thing while doing the other.

this is the zenith of centrism. "yes we oppose annexation but we will not do anything to prevent it from going forward. we recognize the right of Palestinians but they should leave the land that was stolen from them. we believe in free speech but we do also strongly encourage not criticizing Israel"

Again a reminder that neither party has the best interests of the average AMERICAN citizen at heart. The vast majority of them are bought by Israel.
The marijuana legalization one was so fucking baffling to me. That's barely even a controversial issue anymore and they still dem'd it up.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I'm not surprised at all. Nope. Fuck Isreal now and forever and fuck the democrats siding with them. :)

That's is extremely dangerous language, but the OP's title invites it.
Most American's, including left leaning Democrats, support the ongoing US support of Israel.
The government also sees Israel as an important buffer and ally in a geographical region where the US has limited direct political influence. No "buying" required.
And this justifies the horrific genocide against Palestinians how?
Expected but still disgusting. And this:
Ensuring Israel's future as a Jewish state is counter to our American ideals. It is broadly incompatible with the 21st century Western world today, to have an ethnostate where conditions of apartheid thrive, where war crimes against a captive population are encouraged. Israel should not be a US ally until these issues are resolved.
The number of Americans who support Israel isn't that much over 50% last I checked, and it's falling. Americans, particularly on the left, are growing tired of Israel's shit, particularly Netanyahu's government.

Dunking the left because they proposed something not popular and problematic is great to see.
Come back next time when you've built popular support for your positions.

‘New York Times’ reports that Jewish donors shape Democrats’ regressive position on Israel
This weekend the New York Times breaks one of the biggest taboos, describing the responsibility of Jewish donors for the Democratic Party’s slavish support for Israel. Nathan Thrall’s groundbreaking…
mondoweiss.net
Has nothing to do with the "majority" or whatever and everything to do with donor dollars AKA being bought by a power hellbent on keeping up a racist ethnostate with support and backing of Americans whether they like it or not.
M4A and cannabis legalization have majority support from the public and the party, Neera. Maybe it's problematic for keeping donor money flowing into a bunch of party jagoffs pockets that should have been unemployed four years ago.
The support is toothless. Saying you respect Palestinians right to live but then continue giving billions in aid for weapons and defense to Israel unconditionally and refusal to condemn the current occupation...
More like OP has so little faith in people to discuss Israel rationally so they needed to remind everyone they're a genocidal ethnostate in case others forget.
Maybe not be a ghoul and endorse a genocidal ethnostate
Also don't be such a coward and post how you really feel about Israel.
DNC advances final platform version, Israel related draft stays unchanged
The committee rejected a suggested amendment to condition US assistance to Israel, so "no US aid may be used to facilitate annexation or to violate Palestinians rights."www.jpost.com
some more from here too: https://jewishinsider.com/2020/07/dnc-denies-motion-to-condition-aid-to-israel-mention-occupation/
Damn commie, stop lying!!!
Jesus Christ. I literally have no words. How can you be this heartless to fucking mock this!?!
Yup, the defense of "its just not popular enough!" has and will always be complete bullshit.
Yeah is up with that comment? Had to read it like twice to be sure they were saying what I think they were sayin 🥴
Every person killed in Israel-Palestine since 2000
It shows just how lop-sided the conflict has become.
www.vox.com
and this is just up to 2014. great to see the left dunked for opposing this am i right!
Some perspective here-the idea that Israel is a 'genocidal ethnostate' is also super duper fringe and is also not popular.
The Democratic party is a big tent party based on doing things that appeal to a wide variety of people. Make your position on Israel popular, and the party will come along.
