"supported JD Vance"
"I understood how a single statement he made might make sense"
These two things are the same to you?
Even Hitler had a few good policies, and I sure as hell don't support him.
The IDF wouldn't have said anything when they found the documents if they benefit from it not being known.
The IDF can't be trusted to tell you the sky is blue. Even if I support Israel's right to fight I'm well aware of how they operate from a propaganda standpoint.
They even say they don't think the Pollsters were working with Hamas, but that Hamas was somehow clandestinely changing the results anyways. Suuure they are. The group that can barely function is somehow tampering with the results of the polls without the pollster noticing.
"The IDF said the documents do not prove that PCPSR was cooperating with Hamas, but rather that the terror group was conducting clandestine actions to fraudulently influence the results of the polls."
All the IDF says is "we found confidential documents that show they changed the numbers," do you know how easy that would be to fake?
You vote... great. You realize there's more options than just voting right?
Am I personally making an effort to stop every bad thing my Canadian government is doing? I'm not sure, I don't see any bad things they're doing at the moment (including supporting Israel) despite the government being made up of people that I didn't even vote for.
I don't see a lot of things that they do as bad, I understand in that most of the things people get mad at them for aren't really their fault (inflation), are necessary even though they upset a lot of people (immigration), are simply due to the limits of finite resources (healthcare), or are limits based on how our electoral system works and who's voting (house inflation).
Do I encourage them to do better? Yes. I vote (lol) but I also regularly communicate with my provincial and federal representatives, and I participate in various activities to influence and affect the policies they implement.
The Muslim population isn't a single voting bloc, and a good chunk are still voting Democrat.
On the flip side, the Jewish population is almost twice the size of the Muslim population, so pissing them off is probably worse.
1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.
I'm also going to point out that voting based on what's happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.
We're all free to be stupid, but it probably won't end well.
"it's not my fault my country killed a half million civilians, I can't do anything about it." -You
"I demand my government force another country to stop killing civilians immediately" -Also you
You seriously don't see the problem with the way you're thinking?
Why the fuck would I support American political candidates as a non-American? Just because plenty of people are stupid, doesn't mean I need to be as well. Plenty of people think that most Palestinian civilians are innocent, but it doesn't make it true.
Indiscriminate? They literally targeted orders by the military groups.
That's pretty fucking discriminate.
Wiping out entire cities is equivalent to a hate crime?
You're delusional.
Jews were literally second class citizens under ottoman rule. They had fewer rights by law.
