@mindlessmotion5864 In 1948, A "Jewish State" was declared on a land with millions of Arabs and Muslims living there. They killed, massacred and expelled anyone who resisted to a total of 700,000 Palestinians evicted from their homes or slaughtered in what is referred to as The Nakba. Ever since then, the Palestinians have been resisting Israeli occupation, apartheid, blockaid on goods and resources, a siege on all land, air and sea and not even allowed to fish in their own waters. They are held in an open air prison and bombed repeatedly killing tens if not hundreds of thousands men, women, babies, children and every time the Palestinians try to do anything to fight back, they are called Terrorists while Israel gets away with decades of ethnic cleansing and now plausible genocide. This is public land and nobody was rioting, only the cops showed up with violence. So effectively Americans right to protest THIS TOPIC ONLY has been violently shut down by thug police in every city and state in America. All while they use our tax dollars to fund the weapons that kill the Palestinians. The protesters were right about Vietnam, they were right about Iraq, and they are right now on Palestine.

Yes however the enemies of Isreal are the enemies of the US. Isreal, India are one of the only countries that are keeping the Jihadist and communist in check through US funding or by alliance. Also Isreal keeps the US strong in the middle east and India in South Asia. The US needs friends in a time of crises and bailing on Isreal could have dyer consequences for the US. Isreal, US, Canada, England and India are secular countries.
