I’m not American. Maybe my opinion also comes from a place of not understanding how government works in the US. But in 2020, Biden won the Presidency and the Democrats had control of the House and the Senate. Yet, they had a harder time of reversing Trump’s policies than he had pushing them through. Let alone not even trying to enact progressive policies.

As an outside observer, maybe that’s why people have lost faith in the Democratic party.

I am not American, nor the person you responded to, but in 2020 the Democrats won the white house, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

As an outsider looking in, why is there the expectation that Kamala doing it again in 2024 will have a different result?

Oh yeah you’re right. It was Hamas that blew up Herod’s temple.

Ah yes. The ottomans that existed during the Roman empire are to blame.

Not the ottomans if that’s the point you’re trying to make.

The problem with this opinion is that it’s not based on fact: the Zionist movement originated in Europe as a result of pogroms there, not in the Middle East.

Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire at the time. Israel did not exist.

From what I can gather online there was a peasant revolt, but nothing sectarian about it. The Ottomans pillaged the villages during and after the revolt.
