    As an American Jew, I think one of the big reasons why the right is so pro-Israel is because it gives them a place to ship people like me to. They will ignore that I was born in the US, have never been to Israel, have no plans to go there, and that my ancestors didn’t even come from there. (Eventually, if you go far enough back, they might, but my attempts to trace my ancestry hit a dead end in Poland.)

    The right love that they could just round up all the Jews in America, stick them on a plane, and dump us in Israel to “dispose” of us.

      Duh! Why u think Israel isn’t in Europe?!?! No one wanted the Jews anywhere near them so they shoved them into Palestine.

        They weren’t “shoved”, zionism was thought up and promoted by Jewish people. Widespread antisemitism in Europe was indeed a major reason for it, but still.
