More Americans express sympathy for the Israelis (46%) than the Palestinians (33%) in the Middle East situation, but the margin has shrunk to a new low.
So what are they going to do? This is what happens when you prop up & support ethno religious states. Don’t want it then stop supporting Israel’s existence.

The problem isn’t that Israel is an ethno-religious state, it’s that it’s a genocidal, apartheid, settler-colonial state imposing itself on someone else’s land, and it’s trying to ethnically cleanse that land of its indigenous peoples, and it’s trying to expand its territory into a “Greater Israel,” extending its project of ethnic cleansing ever wider.

You can support Israel without supporting what they’re doing.
The name Israel was chosen by the Zionist movement for a reason & reflects what they are doing. By keeping the name, you’re enabling/supporting them.
No, you really can’t: the nature of a thing is what it does
What would “support” look like in this case? How do you ensure that support isn’t weaponised and used to promote genocide?
How do you ensure the alternative doesn’t?

Orrrrr, now hear me out, we ratchet up the propaganda, black listing, and police responses to protests. Eh?
