This is why they turned on him so hard.
And it's why he was one of the few actually fighting to get the Epstein files released.

Great to see that most people aren't being fooled any longer.
The synagogue of satan has been exposed for what they are.

Re: The Chosen People
There are a few reasons to disapprove of Israel that do not require the sweeping "synagogue of satan" explanation. Gaza occupation, West Bank settlements and attacks on Palestinians, and a Prime Minister who seems to be clinging to power by courting favor with the far right and suspects that he will face legal challenges when he is not longer in office. Probably also the role of Netanyahu in encouraging the US war on Iran. In other words, policies and actions that are disfavored by the majority.

Re: The Chosen People
I tend to favor a simpler, more straightforward explanations. I expect that the shift in favorably (now significantly unfavorable) among Americans toward Israel is mostly driven by what I wrote. But I think you are saying that Americans are "waking up" to the "synagogue of Satan" disease diagnosis, is that it?bpj wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2026 3:59 amYou named the symptoms, I named the disease.gil wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2026 10:38 pmThere are a few reasons to disapprove of Israel that do not require the sweeping "synagogue of satan" explanation.

What if new leadership is elected in Israel, and we get less influence by the religious right. Policies shift toward serious talks about a Palestinian state, reigning in the rogue West Bank settlers, and moving toward lasting peace (built on the Abraham accords) with countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. If that were to happen (and I am NOT confident it will), don't you think there would be an upswing in favorability?
