Young Republicans and Democrats agree…end US support of Israeli genocide in Gaza

 

For 13 months President Joe Biden has been gifting Israel with the firepower to utterly destroy life for 2,300,000 Palestinians in Gaza. That amounts to over 50,000 tons of death weapons costing over $18 billion of our precious treasure. Instead of using that treasure to uplift the Homeland, Biden is using it to flatten Gaza, burying thousands of Palestinian moms and kids under the rubble caused by 2,000 lb.bomb Made In USA.

 

While on domestic issues Republicans and Democrats agree on nothing, they are coalescing around opposition to US weaponizing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

 

This is particularly true in the 18 to 29 age group. Young Democrats favor cutting off weapons to Israel by a whopping 41% (62$% to 41%). Young Republicans are not far behind their fellow Democrats, opposing continued weapons 52% to 36%. Independents oppose more weapons as well to obliterate Palestinians from Gaza 47% to 34%.

 

Overall the 18 to 29 age group resoundingly opposes Biden’s weaponizing genocide in Gaza 55% to 29%.

 

Yet, the presidential nominees Harris and Trump try to outdo each other in fueling the destruction of Gaza as a habitable 139 square miles for the most beleaguered people on Earth. Harris says her support for Israel is “ironclad”, she’s merely supporting Israel’s “defense” and she has no intention of “changing Biden’s Israeli policies”.

 

Trump is even more evil if that’s possible, ghoulishly demanding that Israel “finish the job”, conveniently omitting the obvious, cleansing Gaza of all 2,300,000 Palestinians to promote Israeli settlement of valuable oceanfront property.

 

Nether Harris nor Trump give a damn about the opinion of America’s future leaders when it comes to stopping the worst genocide this century. Their focus is on placating the Israel Lobby and the weapons makers, both of whom lavish campaign donations on pro Israel, pro war candidates and policies while burying pro Palestinian and antiwar candidates under a blizzard of campaign cash.

 

Corporate media plays along with both candidates ignoring America’s youngest voting block. They have largely self-censored discussion of the greatest moral dilemma looming over any presidential election on our lifetime. They, like the candidates , follow the money.

That’s the sad tale of 2024 American electoral politics…money talks, and moral public opinion walks.
