If itβs based in New York City, should not be surprised itβs run by a lot of Jewish people.
Sadly, many Jews blindly support Israel out of tribal loyalty. Like genocide is OK with them so long as itβs Jews doing the ethnic cleansing.

the vast majority of American support for Israel comes from the Christian Evangelical right, not from Jewish americans. I've never met a single Jewish person who actually supported isreal that was aware there was a genocide taking place. most of them have just been grossly misinformed about who lived there
One of my best friends is Jewish, and while in general I think he has a fine sense of justice, he also has relatives in Israel and is susceptible to jingoistic calls to βstand with Israelβ.
Someone had better tell AIPAC.
they're literally number two on the list after Christians for a United israel.
Someone should tell AIPAC to up their game!
[email protected]'s rules specify not to engage in political discussions.
There are Lemmy communities dedicated to politics if that's what you're after.
Why would a socialist site even want to support either side in the conflict? Both are religiofascist ethnostates.
That's an incredibly naive take.
There are two wrong sides here... so it can be difficult to predict what anyone will lean further away from. Beware of assuming that means they are leaning toward the other side though.
There are more than two sides.
Personally I am on the side of the innocent civilians.
