I'm hopeful, in a sick kind of sense, that the horrors of the war in Gaza will break Israel's stranglehold on US politics.
They... really have just gone mask off.
As much as I'd like to think so, I think that the US is just going to go mask off, too.
I'm hopeful. I was exceptionally skeptical at the start of this that it would change any large number of opinions in the US, because fuck, it's been long-ongoing and the Israelis had the convenient excuse of responding to a terror attack.
But public opinion is shifting much faster than I thought it would as this draws on. We may finally be able to break the Israeli grip on US politics it's had since the 80s.
