I think it’s bc the U.S. is already on the side of the good guys in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Israel-Pal is more morally complex. I thought it was obvious. Prob good question is why doesn’t the Bulwark have the same passion towards America breaking international law and siding with 3 tin pot countries against the entire world to block UN resolutions condemning Israel?

I personally started to sour on our policy towards Israel after reading this well-sourced investigative piece detailing in painstaking detail how the administration ignored human rights abuses: propublica.org/article/….

The campus tentists and Palestinian nationalists have a lot of idiotic ideas, even anti-Semitic ones. I think the youth engages in a ton of overheated rhetoric around Israel that’s unfair. But here’s what I would say. The defeat of the pro-life movement was largely a result of republicans putting up a low character person like Trump which made ppl cynical and harder to convince them of the moral cause, in addition to secularization of America ofc. In a way, the pro-choice win is a failure of the pro-life movement more than it is a win for feminists and I think in some ways, the Iraq War, and America deliberately overlooking and sometimes enabling documented Israeli war crimes is what broke the rules based international order more than Trump did. It was a failure to take accountability that created the opening for such cynicism that Trump is able to inverse reality and call Zelensky a dictator.
