Just to be clear, everyday US citizens do not condone this shit.

Both major parties and most US citizens absolutely condone this shit.

Oh, took a poll did you?

You stated a claim, the burden of proof is on you! Nice logical fallacy there.

Also yes Pew did. https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/03/21/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-valid-reasons-for-fighting-fewer-say-the-same-about-hamas/

I hate to tell you this but we live in a dystopic world. The majority of Americans have the worst foreign policy and support the MI complex. We vehemently hate Arabic peoples and others from that region. And we really only support israel for our own imperialist needs. Look at the right's contempt for Jewish people but praise and support of thr state of Israel.

I'm not a part of your "We". Sounds like you're counting yourselves among them, which is kind of gross.

I know plenty of American citizens who are disgusted by the choices of the Oligarchy.

I guess when I said "everyday" I was implying sane individuals who aren't fox news homunculi.

Well in Idaho, just about everyone I know who lives there supports Israel. And in Texas there are a bunch of people criticizing Kamala and our state's Democratic candidate for Senator for being radically pro-Hamas.

I hate that I have to specify sane.

Many US citizens do, though. Some Americans are happy to see Muslims die, and other Americans are happy to see Muslims and Jews kill each other.

We don't know the exact numbers, but Trump is running on a platform of overt racism, so a rough estimate might be in the tens of millions.
