If it’s based in New York City, should not be surprised it’s run by a lot of Jewish people.
Sadly, many Jews blindly support Israel out of tribal loyalty. Like genocide is OK with them so long as it’s Jews doing the ethnic cleansing.
the vast majority of American support for Israel comes from the Christian Evangelical right, not from Jewish americans. I've never met a single Jewish person who actually supported isreal that was aware there was a genocide taking place. most of them have just been grossly misinformed about who lived there
One of my best friends is Jewish, and while in general I think he has a fine sense of justice, he also has relatives in Israel and is susceptible to jingoistic calls to “stand with Israel”.
Cool?
Someone had better tell AIPAC.
they're literally number two on the list after Christians for a United israel.
Someone should tell AIPAC to up their game!
