Where are your sources? Everything I've seen says that support for Israel has never been lower. The young people are appalled at Israel's genocide. It is now normal and mainstream to speak out against Israel and its genocide.

Just linked it.

Gallup polling says 70% of Americans think we're doing the right amount or not enough.

And of those that think we're doing too much it's all liberals who are going to vote for Biden regardless or the literal fascists you keep telling me not to worry about.

Gallup polling says 70% of Americans think we're doing the right amount or not enough.

literally the fucking headline: "Americans Back Israel's Military Action in Gaza by 50% to 45%"

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Half of Americans approve of Israel’s military action in the Hamas-led Gaza Strip, and 45% disapprove, according to a Gallup poll conducted several weeks after Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel that led to a major military operation by Israel.

Maybe try reading more than the first paragraph.

"The largest segment of Americans, 42%, say the U.S. is providing about the right amount of military aid to Israel, and another 25% say the U.S. is not doing enough, totaling 67% who endorse at least the current level of military aid to Israel."

It doesn't really matter if they say they oppose it in one question if in the next question of "should we reduce funding" 70% say no.

Am I really going to have to explain why material actions are more important than empty political platitudes to a proclaimed communist?

how is any of this relevant

"I don't support what Isreal is doing but we should keep giving them the same amount or more funding and support" actually worked on you?

You must be so fucking stoked when liberals tell you they'd love to do something but there's nothing they can do huh.

Gonna break it off here since you're literally arguing that words are more important than actions.

I just took a poll and 100% of respondants agreed I was right so check and mate I guess since opinions are more important than what actually happens.

I think you've lost the plot. What were you trying to argue again?

I don't understand how any of this is relevant to whether fascists are "doing fine" or not. If you don't believe communism will win, why do you even bother being a communist?

Also, I don't get how, even assuming that Americans are 102% in support of Israel (which they are not), this means that it's over for Palestine. The fate of the Palestinians will not be determined by popular opinion of Americans. The Palestinians themselves will determine their own fate.

I don't care about what random fucking Americans think. They do not determine the fate of the world.

Communism will win. Palestine will win. Israel will fall, regardless of how much Americans love it.
