I think western governments are vastly overestimating how popular assisting Israel with its crimes are.

At least some of this in America is Ukraine fatigue coupled with an unpopular president's full-throated lust for genocide.

Trump denouncing Bibi might be the most noble thing he's ever done, even if it was for petty reasons. If Joe Rogan said DTI, that would shift the needle all the way.

Yeah for all the panicking in this thread about Americans going into 9/11 mode i'm just not seeing it. Maybe because I live somewhere with not a lot of jews but zero people I know are talking about this in rl, it has been completely ignored on Normie social media like facebook/insta etc, except for a few jews I went to school with.

This feels like an elite media driven thing that does not have a genuine popular drive. At the end of the day most Americans have written off the i/p conflict as two people somewhere else who hate each other for inscrutable reasons. Israelis are still an Other, it is not 9/11 where We were attacked, there isn't going to be hysteria outside of political class.

It's not entirely elite driven. Though social media is very astroturfed, especially on reddit, there's no doubt a large contingent of English speakers online that have gone into a total genocidal frenzy.

It's just not being seen offline yet, for the most part, which is a silver lining.

if this genocide goes through with absolutely no consequences, within 10 years we will begin machine gunning anything that moves across the border with Mexico

I think western governments are vastly overestimating how popular assisting Israel with its crimes are. There's a Chiefs forum I've been going to for like two decades and they spun off all politics chat to a quarantine zone (because the mods got tired of every game day thread bickering about barsack o'crumbo) which I usually ignore but was morbidly curious about what they say in their I/P thread. The first response to the OP was a post that basically said "Well, what the gently caress did Israel expect? You can't push people around like that and keep them imprisoned and not expect them to fight back" and about half the posters agree with that, and it's a very chuddy politics zone and largely midwestern. They're the people who would have been 100% on board with invading Iraq.

This has been my experience moving out of a big North East city. It feels somewhat comforting that not everyone is buying all the BS and they're very tired of every global conflict the US has to assert itself in.

I'm sure everyone is aware but there have been very large pro Palestinian demonstrations today in all of these countries

Blinken, as we know, does not believe in the merit of diplomacy nor is he capable of it either. So these meetings probably consisted of veiled threats which likely only annoyed the countries he visited.

the "9/11 panic giving you a blank check" strat requires everyone to be super on-board early on though, the more tepid response has rattled the elites a bit

the last time the US instituted a draft it resulted in a near complete collapse of the military as a fighting force in Vietnam, years of finger-pointing and recriminations, and a complete overhaul of how the military even conceptualizes itself, and if they ever do it again it's going to be moot because the nukes will start flying before you're ever called up

my extremely libby elderly parents, including my Jewish mother, are not on board at all for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. this is something the natsec blob wants but Americans are absolutely not going for it.

I think you can see that - the tone of the fervent Israel backers in the western media is verging on panic. they know that they’re losing their audience. we don’t manufacture anything in America anymore, not even consent.

they were hoping for a 9/11 style "everyone loses their minds and gives you a blank cheque to just invade/terrorize anywhere" and instead got "ehhhhh"
