US ambassador to Israel says US no longer pursuing goal of independent Palestinian state

Not superior, but different. And yes, tribes are different, of course they are. Completely sober, a group of Germans/Finns and a group of Nigerians/Venezuelans/Algerians are completely different and we both know how. Western Europeans without ideology and morality turn into murderers. History proves it. They have fewer issues in dehumanising others, they sleep well at night in a house they robbed from people they killed (from the Native Americans to the Palestinians). No bs, can you say the same for other people in earnest?
Genghis Khan would like a word. So would Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Hirohito. Those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.

Thank God we saved Palestine from Biden, right protest voters?
Right?The protest voters amounted to some ~800k last time I did my research (check my profile for a post that goes over this).
RFK forgot to pull out of the general election, and he amassed some ~1 million votes.
Literally the Trump admin's own hubris cancelled out the Uncommitted Movement's efforts.
But sure: let's ignore Biden's deep hatred and racism for Palestinians while ignoring that emocrats lost more voters than what new voters became eligible between 2020 & 2024.
Let's also ignore Biden's awful, self-serving aim to run against Trump in 2024, when previously he had said he was a one-term candidate. And this old fuck couldn't back out of the race until he was cumpstered and dumpstered on the national stage, leaving Kamala only months to prepare a campaign. Let's not forget that there were people on voting day that didn't even know Kamala was running (they assumed Biden).
Let's also ignore Kamala's decent into fascism-lite, saying things like "the strongest military in the entire world" at the DNC, following along with right wing framing on immigration, and inviting Liz fucking Cheney on the campaign trail. This is also ignoring Kamala's horrendously tone deaf policies aimed towards business and home owners, when most people don't own businesses and don't own.
There is a generational divide in the country on Gaza. Young people under, say, 40 oppose everything this country has aided and abetted regarding Gaza. Older than 40, people don't give a shit.
So, have you just dated yourself? Are you too much of a bitch and coward to stick up for state mandated murder abroad? Or are you one of those soy libs that ignores all of America's war crimes yet points out everything wrong with China?
American foreign policy is uniparty. If you don't protest that, you're complicit.

You don't need to be to feel the effects of trump. Ask those Palestinians that will now be ethnically cleansed.

It's not the handful, unfortunately.
The handful has no real power.
The problem is that 49% on each side flip-flop based on whoever's in power, because their values and opinions are a matter of convenience, and perfectly easy to change with their preferred nightly news broadcast.
It's not 49%. The split in 2024 was 1/3 R, 1/3 D, 1/3 didn't vote, and ~1% 3rd party.
As the other commenter said, it's a much fewer percentage of the population that sways those 1/3s either in the favor of R or D.
And you'd think Democrats would have chased after the 1/3 that sat at home instead of Rs, but we all know what actually happened

So you're saying it's a cultural issue. Would you agree then that if easterners were to get culture that would allow them to justify colonization and murder, they would do the same things as westerners?
It's almost entirely cultural, of course, but I do think (I can't prove it, it's just travel and observation) that there are innate psychological differences to people of different tribes. The Congolese, the Austrian and the Nepali are different in a deeper way than nurture can account for, I think.

Okay well if it's cultural then culture can be changed. So if you're an easterner, you need to be careful that you don't end up like westerners. The ideological plague that hit westerners can get easterners as well.
At the end there, It kind of seemed like you were heading back towards the race argument.

What if it accounted for a little bit, the tiniest bit, of our psychological makeup? Would it be so terrible or dangerous of an idea? Not for clear minds and kind hearts, surely. I mean, everyone can swim and everyone can run but you know who's gotta have at least the smallest of edges everything else being equal, right? That's easy to accept, maybe this is just the next frontier, that we're not just tabula rasa, but we have some innate tendencies towards/eases and difficulties regarding A or B the more we have of this or another tribe in us. It's not something I will "die on a hill" for, simply because my evidence is all anecdotal, but
