Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024
What a rather short-sighted and callous statement. It seems as if you have a lack of knowledge of the region and how it got that way. For 2 million plus people, the world is falling, you doofus! Thanks to the electoral college, as a resident of California, my vote does not matter whatsoever. It is going to Biden with or without me. And since no battleground state has ever gone down to one vote, my vote would not change the outcome in any state. Since I have the foresight to invest at a young age, the selfish part of me would actually see that neither party is a risk to me and my interests, so I should not care who wins, since in the end, I will be fine. I am lucky that, as a straight white male with a good job and steady income, I have the luxury to look out from my needs and see those of others. That brings me to my main point in this thread, that you seem to not pick up on: In no other issue that I can recall in American culture is there an active, well funded, and highly influential lobbying establishment that has mastered the art of gaslighting to the point where anyone who is critical of the ones ones committing the genocide is accused of supporting genocide against them. The evils of the Holocaust have been weaponized against those with a critical mind. Those against Israel are automatically "Anti-Semitic" as if the Jews are the only D**n Semitic people on Earth. This is a bi-partisan third rail that has been driven into the heads of people since the Zionist movement picked up steam. Even many liberals are completely ignorant to this fact and just repeat what they hear. And why wouldn't they? The mainstream media sure hasn't deviated from that ideology. It's national brainwashing. Now look at all the other recent and ongoing genocides. You think you are going to get called any names if you criticize the Chinese government for what they are doing to the Uyghurs? What about Sudan? Myanmar? Rwanda? That is my point! This issue is the perfect storm: 1. Holocaust guilt 2. Zionist movement and weaponizing the evils of the Holocaust 3. American self interest in the region for many decades 4. Arabs being portrayed as animals due to resistance of and attacks on American/European interests (And yes, some countries have some backwards a** practices, especially toward women, but the point still stands) It is an incredibly hard cultural ignorance on our part to unwind and understand. Some get it. Many don't. Get it now? -

You have me tracking that line on radar now... moving so slowly eastward. Looks like the back end might bow out to the south towards OKC soon. -
