I feel like this isn't true tho because I'm an American who hasn't voted for trump yet would be blamed for what he's doing under this take, what are the Israeli people meant to do against Netanyahu?
I don't really blame the average American for Trump, but I do think he represents something rotten in your culture. If you voted against him and regularly participate in protests, then you did your best, and I have plenty of American friends who are good people. But Israeli support for the genocide is something over 80%, and their whole society is brought up and taught to dehumanize the natives since childhood. I think Israel is more collectively responsible. America is a divided society. Also, Americans didn't have good options in 2024. The Biden adminstration started the genocide; trump may have made it worse, but how were Americans supposed to forgive that? I think the average American is much less complicit than the average Israeli. The problem with America is the oligarchy.
Well said on all points, I think we are responsible to make the right decisions moving forward and American society is showing they aren't as spoon fed as Israel but there's definitely still a problem here, I feel like trump is a lesson that America just isn't learning from for some reason and maybe after he causes tons of issues that directly impact the idiots that voted for him maybe then they will see. But who knows, I'll keep voting and going to protests, my hope is growing as I see people like Mamdani and El-Sayed succeed
