Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.
Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.
Americans don’t believe in anything, half of them can barely read, if you asked them whether Israel was justified in butchering 800 children the poll would most likely flip with 70% saying no, if you asked whether Israel has a “right to self-defense” without any qualification, probably 90% would say yes
If you asked them if Israel has the right to genocide the Palestinians, 50% would say “not sure” and 50% would say no, but 40% would vote yes if it was a closed ballot referendum item
Americans are incoherent lotus eaters who think the height of political intellectualism is enlightened centrism with “remote drone bombing” characteristics
I don’t think there is any “western” country where the people have any control over foreign policy. Japan elected a leader in 2012 that was going to prevent a US military base. Resigned a week before he was going to do it. Similar story in Australia. France elected a leader ~40 years ago I think who was going to dismantle french control in africa. Got elected and realized he had no power to do so, or at least said as much. The recent wars in the middle east were less popular in Europe, afaik, and yet they all stayed involved for exactly as long as the USA.
I think foreign policy, domestic policy, and economic system together are the state. Everything else is just window-dressing. Thats why we have no democratic control over it. The authority of the state is non-negotiable.
Country built on genocide supports genocide
60% of those people don’t even know what Palestine is
Poll: 70% of bed bugs are currently thirsty for blood
While arguing with a co-worker about how what Israel is doing to oppress the Palestinians and how they have been pushed to this point, he asked me if I thought the Holocaust actually happened. It is beyond their comprehension that anyone would have any other opinion and it’s easier to just assume I’m some weird conspiracy theorist.
I got the same thing. I was talking about how Israel has historically treated Palestinians and was asked if I was a Holocaust denier.
They couldn’t comprehend how I thought Israel was capable of doing those things when the Jewish people were victims themselves not too long ago.
I don’t get the logic.
Logic is pretty simple really.
You’re describing to them the genocide of the Palestinian people. On some level at least they must understand that they’re the genocide deniers here. But that can’t be so, they’re the main character! So clearly you’re the one denying genocide. QED
