A Dem is in the White House so for now we won't hear about "IDF! KILLERS!" etc from the Left.

So Israel can continue the apartheid which many on the Left are secretly - fine with.

But hey, since Israel can whine about American abortion laws....


https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-760988

"Female soldiers serving in the Israel Prison Service are suspected by authorities of having had intimate relations with a prisoner, Israeli media reported on Friday."

"Female prison guards will no longer serve at the Israel Prison Service's security prisons, IPS chief Katy Perry and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Friday afternoon."

Will all males be banned from duty if *a few* dip their pen into enemy ink? Not like that would have ever happened.

Misogynist Apartheid Genocidal Israelis. When will Conservatives stop shouting "Israel!" - - again Conservatives are being used.

Ummm...I've always thought of support for Israel coming primarily from the right. Of course, there is a powerful lobby in this country, and Dems are not immune to it. But it's mostly a Republican/evangelical thing.

[googling]

Yep. Thought so. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2022/07/11/amer...
Republicans and Democrats also diverge in their views of Israel, with a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (71%) saying they have a favorable view, compared with a minority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (44%). Views of Israel are particularly positive among conservative Republicans (75%) relative to more moderate or liberal Republicans (62%). Conservative and moderate Democrats (50%) are also more favorable toward Israel than liberal Democrats (36%).

I've thought for many years that we should have slapped them with sanctions for extending their territory illegally, and creating an apartheid state. I get that they have a tough situation, but I don't agree with how they're handling it. Especially building illegal settlements on what is supposed to be Palestinian lands.

In my post, I did bluntly talk about the Right and Israel. Sadly that part is true. They blindly, slavishly shout "Israel!" because many of them think that God can't defend his own real estate. I guess Jesus can't afford to hire Wade the Security Guard for $20 bucks an hour and free slurp-ees to guard God's city or country or whatever.

BUT....what the Right doesn't realize is they are giving cloud cover to MANY MANY MANY Democrats who also are fine with Israeli injustices, and American funding of it. These Liberals get to pretend they are mad about "killing Palistinians! but they are only loud about it if Trump or Bush are in the White House.

So again, the Righties - get used. They would not lose ONE VOTE if they dumped Israel....tehy might actually gain a few in places like Michigan.

The last time anyone on the Right lifted a finger on Israel - was pre-NeoCon season. Bush Senior and James Baker did it after the Gulf War.

Ask them how that worked out for them.

Israel has more influence, and meddles more with America than Russia ever did.

Democracy? Yep. Strong, studios, intelligent, creative people with a history to revere? YES.

But I'm tired of being owned and used by Israel. And I hate that it's my side carrying the water....and in the process giving cloud cover to many democrats who merely get a free ride on this one.
