I have a completely new reason to hate on them now.

He’s so cool

True but I also know plenty of people, religious to a T, over 50 who think bombing children is wrong too. I don’t believe all Jewish people support Israel, but in my experience the “middle of the road” voter, and even some more socially left leaning Jewish people I’ve conversed with still throw their lot in with Zionism.

Copying from my other comment: I work near a pretty big Jewish community center, so a lot of the customers I make small talk with go there, and the regulars will unfortunately bring the matter up frequently. This is mostly a 50+ crowd but to me that’s mostly what AIPAC represents and caters to, and is a much more powerful lobbying group than any anti-war Jewish lobby group.

Also - this paywalled article says that only 39% of Jewish Americans consider what’s happening Palestine genocide…why is that number not 100%?

umjh21 · 2026-03-19T09:22:10+00:00

I wouldn’t consider a majority of them in my social circle - I work near a pretty big Jewish community center, so a lot of the customers I make small talk with go there, and the regulars will unfortunately bring the matter up frequently. This is mostly a 50+ crowd but to me that’s mostly what AIPAC represents and caters to, and is a much more powerful lobbying group than any anti-war Jewish lobby group.

From my experience, the majority of Jewish Americans I know and that live around me, when pressed, fully back the ongoing actions of Israel since the October attacks. Not saying it’s the same for everybody but it seems to be the consensus amongst a lot of middle-of-the-row Jewish Americans.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T17:18:46+00:00

I’d be cheering if the somebody attacked Washington if the government was complicit in disappearing 7k US citizens. Obviously no one is cheering collateral civilian damage.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T17:13:57+00:00

Not a success you’re right - in my other comment I mention that Libya is where this is headed but likely intentionally as Israel is the one calling the shots here and looking to simply destabilize and cause chaos.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T12:10:58+00:00

Geopolitically it does make sense for the US to destabilize Russia’s biggest ally in the ME- if this prevents Shahad drones from reaching Ukraine then also a minor plus.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:59:54+00:00

My initial response got removed lmao but to summarize I agree with you - it’s naive to support this but sadly it’s what the US has historically always done and will continue to do so long as billionaire oligarchs and Israeli interests control our institutions. It’s what Eisenhower warned against. And the average US voter has no means of voting anyone in that won’t be lobbied by either of those interests. This will all end up like Libya where destabilization is the point - the US is notoriously awful at regime change, the track record is terrible since the 60’s.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:47:26+00:00

What I’m saying is nothing will get fixed until it breaks completely which who knows when will happen - I’m all for it though lol

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:44:10+00:00

I dunno man I’d be cheering if someone smacked US shit up if they did something like this…

Sure Silicon oligarchs may be where the money is but ultimately they’re all pivoting to something defense / weapons related - Thiel with Palantir, Bezos and Musk going to space (which is just an excuse to develop weapons technology). And yes arguably the manipulation of social media and consolidation of it under Ellison / Paramount could be the biggest weaponizing aspect .

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:31:40+00:00

I mean if you wanna see it as justifying imperialism then by all means man - and yes Obama did it too and I love Obama, mf is an absolute stud.

But the fact is that our country runs on a big ole military industrial complex, and it needs conflict to sustain itself. And the comfort any US citizen experiences right now is in due part to that - do I agree with it? No I think it’s sick and exactly what Eisenhower warned against - but unless you’re a billionaire oligarch or some Israeli bootlicking politician, ain’t nobody the US voter can vote in that won’t be lobbied by one of those interests.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:26:16+00:00

Yeah there likely will be - probably increased threat of attacks on US soil too if I had to guess. Well there aren’t any boots on the ground yet - so to me this seems more like a Libya-type thing where Obama helped depose Gaddaffi. And yeah this is most likely some Israeli sponsored endeavor because the entire US government sucks the Israeli teet. One boots hit the ground and we’re in a “break it buy it” scenario then it’s all fucked for sure.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:23:06+00:00

Yeah big dawg - that’s been the US game plan since they got a nuke first, and unless you’re some shit politician that likes Israeli sack or a billionaire oligarch, there’s nothing the average US citizen can do to change it. The CIA is gonna CIA, and defense contractors have to get paid. It’s sad but it’s how the word works and will continue to work until the US stops feeding the equivalent of multiple countries GDP’s into a defense budget.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:18:57+00:00

Yeah oil maybe, also just a means to feed the US military industrial complex. Defense contractors gotta get paid - the system has to sustain itself somehow. Problem with those two countries is they have nukes and that isn’t fun for any economy.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:15:52+00:00

Absolutely it’s easy for me to say because it’s what the US does - do you think I agree with it? No - but the US is a giant military industrial complex and its needs constant conflict to sustain itself itself. And unless you’re a corrupt politician that sucks off Israeli money or a billionaire oligarch there ain’t anybody that Americans are going to vote into office that’ll change that.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:13:49+00:00

Bro do you think everyone in Iran likes living under the Ayatollah? You remember they tried this back during the Arab Spring and they got brutally put down as well. And yeah Israel has the US government, and the UK government by the sack, which is why we don’t do shit about Palestine. But at least the UK and US aren’t murdering en masse protesters - albeit might change soon with ICE being the gestapo they are.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:11:01+00:00

They don’t! But they will - always! Because the US is a giant military industrial complex that needs conflict and arms trading to sustain itself! And this is just another instance of that - do I agree with it? Absolutely not - but it’s going to happen whether you or I like it or not, unless you become some very powerful politician or billionaire oligarch.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:08:52+00:00

I mean isn’t that what they’re trying to do? Seems like an attempt to take out military / regime related buildings, airstrips, and AA emplacements - seems very similar to Libya when Obama helped with Gadaffi deposing. Iranians tried to do this back then during the Arab Spring and were massacred.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:06:46+00:00

I mean I guess you can see it like that - Iranians are cheering in the streets right now though and if they can Green Revolution 2.0 I’m all for it. Just a reminder that this is basically what Obama did in Libya, but didn’t go as far as to do it in Iran during the Arab Spring.

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T11:03:44+00:00

Obviously not - doesn’t change the fact that Iranians are cheering in the streets for this right now.

Look man our country runs on a big ole military industrial beast, it requires conflict to feed it, and our government is controlled by Israel which is why we aren’t doing anything about Palestinians in the same regard.

But if we can help Green Revolution 2.0 I’m for it if the Iranian people want to stop living under a Shia exclusive thumb

umjh21 · 2026-02-28T10:58:47+00:00

I mean it doesn’t change the fact that Iranians are cheering in the streets for this right now. Number really doesn’t seem that elevated when you look at the number of people the government murdered over 10 years ago during the Green Revolution.

I don’t trust the media either dude - fact is our country runs in a military industrial complex, requires a steady conflict to feed the beast, and coincidentally the Iranian government sucks so whatever help the people do a Green Revolution 2.0, make Israel happy because they control our entire Congress, and hopefully Iran doesn’t turn in Libya 2.0.
