Seriously, I don’t give a flying fuck what you think, and if you’re honest with yourself – a heavy lift for a lot of people – you don’t give a flying fuck what I or anyone else thinks, either.
Simple acid test: Has a month-plus of nonstop discussion of this changed your mind about it? I’ll wager no, and I’ll win most if not all of those bets.
More importantly, nobody who has any power to do anything about it gives a fuck what any of us think. These decisions are being made by people who have access to information you and I never will – information such as, “What unwritten laws govern U.S. support of Israel?”
We have no NATO-like treaty binding us to Israel, but we behave as if we do. Why? Good luck finding an honest answer to that one, and without knowing that we have no way of knowing why the Biden administration supports this genocidal assault on Gaza.
So all this sturm und drang is doing nothing but setting liberals against each other. And if you don’t think that’s by design – thanks, Bibi! – you don’t understand how megalomaniacal autocrats behave. Netanyahu is trying to save his political skin, and he, like Putin, knows he stands a much better chance of surviving under Trump. As this “war” has shown, it’s quite easy to put Democrats in disarray.
