People who are uncommitted because of Gaza are fools to think that their reticence won't have any consequences in the country.
Having said that there is no hope for Gazans from US since both the parties are bought and paid for by the Israelis.
Russia take note - US only lets those foreign countries to influence the election who are willing to buy both the parties.
American political parties are not in charge of Israel. Believe it or not, Israel has their own elections and elects their own parties.
Maybe it's not that both parties are paid off, but that stopping a still-young and flawed democracy from being swallowed up by a far right religious dictatorship sworn to kill every Jew in the middle east in the name of a new Islamic Caliphate, is an issue with resounding bipartisan support.
Oh, you know what else it could be, has a lot of bipartisan support? Not stabbing our allies in the back, just on principle.
Huh, maybe not everything you find revulsive is a Jewish conspiracy to control on the world.
oof, that's quite the Islamophobic take there
Nothing of substance to say so call me a racist, couldn't be farther from the truth.
Do you have a more accurate description for the Iranian leadership?
Why would I entertain your a-historical reactionary bullshit with a substantive response? If I said 'Hezbollah was justified in firing missiles into Tel Aviv everyday because Israel is a blood-thirsty religious apartheid state dead-set on killing every Muslim in the middle east in the name of a 'Judeo-Christian crusade'', would you see it as an honest attempt at good-faith debate?
Of course not.
