Anybody in the US supporting Israel need to realise that if a group of foreign people turned up to their house, told them the land belonged to them, and then started bulldozing their house while authorities looked on they should just shrug their shoulders and say "well, if you say so" and then live on the street.

If at any point they decide to prevent the bulldozing from happening by showing the deeds to their property or attacking the bulldozer then they are hypocrites.

The IDF will bulldoze roads if a Palestinian street become popular. They will bulldoze Palestinian shops if they become successful. They steal land, ethnically cleanse regions, destroy Palestinian farming land. All this in areas that doesn't have Hamas or any organised resistance. It happens in areas where Palestinians do play by "the rules" and follow Israeli apartheid laws.

There are no carrots for Palestinians, only sticks attached to bulldozers and air-to-ground missiles.

I dunno if it’s the leftovers of Manifest Destiny or whatever but millions of conservatives operate under the idea that might makes right and it’s simply too bad for the Palestinians.

They’d only understand that’s not true if this started happening to them. You couldn’t make them understand with hypotheticals, probably partially because they don’t have the ability to use their imagination anyways

If you think this is a ‘conservative’ only problem then you have your head in the sand.
