    An interesting hodgepodge of citations. Much of it true. Very hysterical about KimSon running the USA as we are still legitimately powerful and if we can sieze control from the .01% or at least move more toward the countervailing power of the lower 99% we had before the anti-government/ pro .01% agenda we can still do some good things at home and abroad. Yes, our foreign policy, like our "homeland" policy is run to make the most buckaroos for the .01% that run things and much of the blather about human rights, democracy is just that.

    Evangelicals support Israel due to their affinity for bringing on doomsday.
    Jews support Israel because they believe this is their land by divine right.

    On average Americans support Israel because Palestinians are deemed the bad guys and are terrorists while Israel stands up for western values.

    -Probably the same for many on the otherside at this point. The population at least has more hope, but the leaders rely on fear and a common enemy to sustain their power. thus the winners to prepetuate this culture of fear, hate, of the other continues their power just like how in amreican politics they say if you are in political trouble, start a crisis or a war or something where they need your 'stable hand and change isn't good. People in netanyahu's own political side have indicted him from corruption and he hangs on with any desperation he can despite his own people accusing him of corruption. Hamas essentailly has a stronghold of power over a desperate powerless and unorganized group. They both stay in power while their populace misdirects the frustration

    Is anti-Zionism anti-Semitic?

    You can end 'religions' but won't end peoples needs for some sort of authoritative power or tribalism to blindly support. If its not relgion, as we saw it can be politics, easily clinging to their dear leaders/gods. Some get religious about the sport teams, any critique is considered offensive or too negative. They will just ind something to get religious about. We've come a long ways in some angles, but not any closer to curing stupid.
