"We as American Jews will not be used, we will not be complicit and we will not be silent. Judaism is a beautiful, thousands-year-old tradition, and Israel is a 76-year-old colonial apartheid state,” Morgan Bassichis, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the crowd.

It's not like Schumer and Biden don't get that, they just use Judaism as an excuse to support a genocidal maniac.

I mean, the goal is geopolitics, not genocide. You're still right, but Biden and Schumer don't genuinely care about Palestine. They genuinely care about Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc, etc, and Israel's status as an ally in the region.

How is Israel an ally?

They're a lightning rod.

The entire reason Israel exists is to be a lightning rod. The issue is they went from an easy nearby target for far right religious ethnostates, to becomin the far right religious ethnostate who is recklessly starting wars and genocides.

If all that matters is middle east geopolitics, then Israel is a liability because they keep attacking neighbors and committing genocides.

This isn't new, we funded fucking Osama Bin Laden too.

Imagine if GW insisted that because Bin Laden was once our ally, he always has to be.

Shit fucking changes.

But 70 and 80 year olds don't always notice because the older we get the faster it seems like time goes by. It happens to all of us, but when you're as old as a fucking country, it's hard to wrap your head around a lot of things have changed since then.

If you expect people to download PDFs from social media comments, it helps if you don't hide the link...

If you don't know how to inspect a link before downloading it, that's on you. You asked a question and I answered it by directly citing the source.
