  • We can absolutely do both. It’s not asking too much — quite the opposite, actually.

    Many people want to stop funding Israel; Many people want to stop Israel bombing Palestine and Lebanon. Those two outlooks go hand-in-hand.

    Outside of the DNC and RNC establishment, folks aren’t crying over the future of Israel. Many folks are apathetic and simply do not care about Israel’s atrocities, because they’re stressed with surviving day-to-day. Cutting taxes appeals to that demographic. Leftists/Progressives think Israel’s actions are unforgivable, and don’t want to be complicit in said genocide; and while they’d roll their eyes at most “muh taxes” arguments, they don’t want their taxes going to Israel for the same reason they don’t want their taxes going to build a surveillance net.


  • The Gaza protests Worked. The protests outside the DNC worked. The protests on university campuses worked.
    From 2022 to 2025 protestors, rallies, journalists, and online accounts completely shifted the narrative on Gaza.

    Through 2020, Israel was as untouchable a topic as our insane Defense budget. The only listened to voices opposing Israel were the crazy anti-semites who hate all Jewish people.
    Now? Leftists hate Israel. MAGA hates Israel. Anti-Trump Republicans hate Israel. Liberals want Israel’s atrocities investigated. Islamophobes hate Israel.
    As Trump himself said; Everybody hates you [Bibi] now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.

    Also, the protestors for Gaza / against Israeli genocide aren’t calling themselves "leftist"s. They’re anti-genocide. That’s part of how they were able to get such broad support. Thyey didn’t push the partisan bullshit.

    And the outcome of all this? Spain’s criticizing Israel. Football sportscasters are criticizing Israel. There were mass calls for FIFA to cancel Israel’s game; FIFA refused and now nations are pushing to cancel FIFA.

    In domestic races; Establishment Democrats and Republicans alike are crumbling to grassroots nobodies on Israel.
    Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim, won EVERY district except the wealthiest one in his mayoral race; running against DNC-backed Cuomo who was the prior Governor. Mamdani criticized Israel; Cuomo screamed about it; and Cuomo lost.
    Every time the Mainstream Media tried to criticize these outsiders on their opinion on Israel, they double down and sweep their elections. Said Media has largely stopped bringing this up in local races.
    A position on a nation halfway across the world is as influential an issue as the data centers that are spiking up residents’ electricity bills and literally evaporate fresh water supplies.

    if you want to be cynical about protests; tell the “No Kings” rally that they stand for nothing and will accomplish nothing. The Gaza protestors are winning.
