I wouldn't be so confident.
The American majority is solidly center-left.
Sure, the progressive wing is still small and they are smart enough to dodge the anti-semitism rhetoric. Why paint a target on your back.
But the public opinion is definitely shifting away from unconditional support for Israel. I haven't seen this much pro-Palestinian support in my life.
20 years ago you'd have Noam Chomksy and Norman Finkelstein calling out what's going on and that's about it. It's very different today.
There's no cold war anymore and the assassination of Rabin and rise of the Israeli right wing has been the change (even if it was a delayed effect in American perception). The only political assassination that was so successful at achieving the assassin's goals as that of Rabin in recent memory was the one of Japan's Abe.
…my god…. the US centre left are the most violent government in the world and have just sailed 2 aircraft carriers to theatre.
Easily

Don’t refer to the entirety of the US government as “center left”. It makes you look like an idiot.
Especially when the entire government is noticeably right wing.
The sitting President is listed next to every war. If you can’t read a table, better sit this one out.
No he isn't. I guess you didn't scroll far enough.
Maybe verify what you think before stating it as fact.
Still not scrolling far enough I see.
Ah well. You do you I guess.
No, I've been really clear.
Article : Democrats' growing sympathy for Palestinians unlikely to shape near-term policy
The comment I replied to said, "Dont be too confident, there's a Centre Left Majority and support for Israel is dwindling" (My paraphrase)
I replied and said that Centre Left governments are still massive war mongers ("the most violent government"), and have just sailed 2 aircraft carriers into theatre.
you questioned that, which is cool
I posted a link to a list on wikipedia of all the US interventions in the 21st century.the data show the US to be involved in many wars. Its more than anyone else, for anyone who wanted to check my facts - but no one did. It's also obvious from the wikipage, that not every war was prosecuted by a Centre left government - (which was never the claim, for the idiots at the back).
chaos ensued, because Team USA showed up, did their patriotic duty of bullying the dissenter
I thought I was talking with adults. My bad.
That's a mistake that nobody talking with you will ever make.
Not even all the Democrats are center left ffs.
