The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The howls against El-Sayed are coming from professional politicians that may well be in the pay of Israel, and more interested in keeping those checks coming, than in reflecting the views of "We The People", who they purport to represent.

I suggest that you might want to at least keep open the possibility that Jewish lawmakers representing districts with large Jewish communities might actually be motivated by (and reflecting) a concern for those constituents. I know that the conspiracy-tinged belief that they're all in the thrall of a foreign power, rather than genuinely engaging in positions they hold, might be more appealing. After all, it allows folks who disagree with their position to dismiss it without engaging with it. While disagreement with Israel's policies is perfectly legitimate, it's important for public figures to exercise the same care for the well-being of American Jews as we do with other minority groups who might end up being the target of hate over foreign policy matters.
