    It goes beyond even that!

    I call it the 51st state because Israel’s entire founding ideology is the same as the rest of the US - it’s a white supremacist settler colony founded on ethnic cleansing of native populations, expropriation of lands from natives, and ethno-nationalism. It’s part of the same ideological project and has all the same politics and all the same internal contradictions. American public opinion won’t ever turn on Israel because they are American.

      Is American public opinion very pro-Israel? Certainly the political powers are, but the average citizen? (I’m not American, I genuinely don’t know)

        Relatively, only left wingers have an issue with them, most of the country is told by the media they’re a bastion against Islamic terrorism etc.
