    Who do you guys talk to? Nobody I know is supporting Israel in this. Most comments I read don’t support them either.

      I live in the southern USA, evangelical folks in my area are fully onboard with Israel support. Facebook links constantly, sign boards in front of churches, those annoying free newspapers they publish and leave in the driveway.

      It’s all anti Muslim and some really creepy genocide talk.

        Well, in the defence of some evangelical communities, they’re just out there hoping the rapture will happen in their lifetimes and doing what they can to speed up the process.

        Some of them don’t necessarily hate Muslims, they just want the world to end ASAP and believe supporting a militant Israel will speed up the process. And who knows, maybe they’re right.

      Except most governments. They also fund humanitarian aid for the Palestinians on the down-low but publically they’re supporting Israel. Just look at the US.

        Shout out to France and Germany, who casually banned peaceful demonstrations as if that’s a normal thing to do in a democracy.
