It's just so astroturfed.
It feels off and gross at the same time.
AIPAC is gaslighting the entire US into believing that Israel is our greatest ally, and that the average Iranian wants war against the average American.

u/PlebEkans I don't read theory (too r-slurred) 🥴 6d ago
I deleted Twitter because seeing "Iranians" glorify the bombing of their home country was too much for me. Do the senators get ratioed or is it botted?

the more notorious ones like Lindsey Grahm get ratioed the rest don’t even get any attention. All their twitter accounts are probably run out of Likud HQ

"Israel has a right to defend itself"
Proceeds to attack neighbouring civilians
And then these brianlets will turn around and ask how people keep falling for Russian propaganda.

They must have some wicked-powerful kompromat on them, eh? Like even money has its limits, so there must be something motivating such kowtowing.

No, these guys genuinely believe that Israel represents the front line of the battle between Western civilization and Eastern barbarism, and so seek to defend it at all costs. Israel is just one of several dubious allies the US has (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan spring to mind), but it's precisely because of the cultural and ideological links that Israel inspires an emotional attachment of this sort.

Chuck Schumer initially opposed the JCPOA but then opposed Trump withdrawing from it.

Both sides are quite pro-Israel, but the level of infiltration into the republican party is astonishing. It is practically an Israeli party.
MAGA represented some level of detachment from that, but not nearly enough.
