Because Israel is a productive modern country contributing to the global economy while Palestine is a disruptive force like ISIS or antifa.
Wait all Palestinians are a disruptive force like isis? The terrorist group that murders people?

"All", no...but it would be disingenuous to pretend that the Palestinians haven't used the same tactics (including terroristic murder). They certainly have.

If you want to argue with Kyuubi on this one I'd suggest you ask why he thinks productivity = right. Or point out that putting ISIS and antifa on anything close to the same level exposes right wing fantasy. :)

I just want to point out that one of my friends went to birthright and they told us about how stupid the Palestinians are because they will send rockets over the wall that "fail to detonate" and the Israelis pile them up as trophies.

The Israelis are completely brainwashed if they actually believe this. They're literally willing to believe that these rockets just...don't go off? But they're willing to put potentially live ammunition around in public as trophies lmao?

Also he talked about how on the tourist trails there are a lot of Palestinian snipers on the roads that Israeli snipers are constantly watching. Like holy shit, as if. It's definitely just some bum fuck sniper nest the Israelis put up to scare people and then have some random nobody aim a gun at to pretend their populace is in any danger.

Can also guarantee that the "human shields" are just Palestinian civvies that the Israelis shoot and kill and then claim are shields to make people look the other way.

honestly why should the US be backing either side of a holy war on the other side of the world

its all done just to garner support from evangelical Christians that get off on the idea of conflict in the area starting judgement day


This also needs a source.

Historically, no. The US began backing Israel because of a moral imperitive following the Holocaust and, later, the desire to have a friendly ally in the middle east. US policy had been shifting slowly away from Israel under Obama as those needs faded and the loss of moral authority/power associated with supporting a situation that more and more clearly included Israeli repression grew. Since 2016, it appears that Trump's support for Israel is based mostly on his general preference for authoritarian-leaning regimes similar to his own (as well as their presence as an opponent to Iran, an enemy he loves to hate).

As for the rest of that, correct. Those statements are over the top.
