American here. I definitely do not support Israel's actions. Why Western governments fall all over themselves to claim their unwaivering support for Israel, regardless of how poorly they behave, is baffling to me

LOL. True this week, but I tend to change it often. Also, I'm seeing it used or worn by more and more non-Americans. It has developed this weird tongue-in-cheek iconic status.

Colonists and imperialists look out for each other. Palestine today looks a lot like the Americas and the global south in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Isn'treal has an important role in destabilizing the middle east and co-developing new tech and techniques for oppression.

It doesn't hurt that US politics are heavily influenced by Christian Zionists and western European countries are terrified of doing anything that could be construed as anti-semitic.
