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.

Where people casually elide the difference between "the nature of the Israeli government" and "Israel," or "the people of Israel" and "American Jews" as if discussions of one group are identical to discussions of the other.

The Israeli regime is conflating criticism of it's policies with "antisemitism". In doing so, is the Israeli regime saying that "all good Jews" favor brutality, terrorism, and genocide? Is the Israeli regime doing the same blurring of lines between it's policies, and the civilization?

Should USian Jews distance themselves from the Israeli regime, the same way Dems are being urged to distance themselves from Piker?

The problem is, regardless what USians think of the Israeli regime's actions, a bipartisan majority in Congress continues to give the Israeli regime what it wants, including open doors to classified US military R&D and intellegence. As I put it the other day, "We The People" have been sold out to a foreign power, by our own government.
