    It’s really wild how hard the media is trying to emotionally anchor this for Americans. They reference 9/11 AND Pearl Harbor in that list.

    I have no way of really knowing, but I strongly suspect that Average-America’s regard for Israel is far more negative or at least neutral than it might have been a decade ago, and the way the media is going so hard in framing the narrative feels like they know it.

      20+ years ago I was an Evangelical Christian. That group is rabidly pro-Israel now but at least before 9/11… well I would say they were exactly anti-Israel but the support was much, much more subdued.

      Yeah, I don’t know a single person in real life who fully supports Israel. The most I’ve heard is the whole “both sides dialogue” bs
