American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, according to new Gallup polling, after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis.

That shift accelerated during the war in Gaza. Three years ago, 54% of Americans sympathized more with the Israelis, compared to 31% for the Palestinians.

Now, their support is about evenly balanced, with 41% saying their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, and only 36% saying the same about the Israelis.

    Do you condemn the IDF for carrying out the Hannibal Directive and killing all those Israelis on October 7th?

        They said the opposite. They said they understood why the German Nazis exterminated Jews for burning the Reichstag building.

          I have never in my life uttered a single positive or empathetic word about Nazis. If you’re trying to put words in my mouth through some twisted false-equivalence, miss me with that shit.

          Any goodwill or empathy I feel toward my fellow humans, Nazis are always the exception. It’s a free world, do what you want — unless you’re a fucking Nazi then you should die mad, and preferably screaming. Violence is never the solution — unless the problem is Nazis.

          If this is a case of mistaken identity, fair enough shit happens. If not, then in all sincerity, fuck yourself with glass until you bleed out.

            I probably should’ve included the word “basically” in my comment, though I do stand by what I said. You understand what Hamas is said to do on Oct 7th, and I compared it to the Holocaust because the Jews burned down their Reichstag building. Jews didn’t burn down the Reichstag building, the same way that Hamas didn’t kill all those Israelis on Oct 7th. The IDF carried out the Hannibal Directive, and killed their own people using Apache helicopters and tanks, and used that as reasoning the comitt a genocide against a semite population, much the same way the Germans did to the Jews during the Holocaust.
