I don't think most people care about the Israel/Palestine stuff much. Mostly Jews and Muslims. We have an ancient pact with Israel that we have to honor, otherwise America wouldn't have anything to do with this mess. So it's not really most people's business.

You're probably not wrong that most Americans probably don't care about it and don't care to be informed. Hell, I'm not surprised, considering the average American thinks gender means the same thing as sex. Most people will only care about movements that impact them directly. How many Americans cared about Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and post 9-11 stuff that impacted anyone who looks Middle Eastern, Muslim, or had a turban on? It's sad

But they should care. Especially with the Israel-Palesteine War, because we Americans are funding a ridiculous amount of our tax payer money--collectively 50 billion a year to towards Israel.. For mostly weapons. And it's not like they need the money. They aren't Afghanistan or even Ukraine. The Israeli government is the oppressor who are illegally occupying and taking away people's homes and forcing millions of others to live in a 24-7 monitored open-air prison. The Israeli government keeps spinning it on themselves that they are the victims--and sadly, they brainwashed much of their people to believe that. "We have a right to defend ourselves" after Palestinians try to defend themselves.. And then they do 10x the amount of damage and wonder why Palestinians hate them so much.
