Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Snip:

A new poll released by Quinnipiac University on 24 September has revealed that support for Israel continues to drop significantly across the US.

Only 47 percent of US citizens believe that backing Israel is in Washington’s interest, the poll shows. Forty-one percent believe it is not, and 12 percent did not respond. This marks a drop from December 2023, when Quinnipiac polling showed that respondents supported Israel by a 69–23 margin.

The poll also found that 49 percent of US voters have a negative view of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Only 21 percent hold positive views on the premier.

It also found that 56 percent of US voters disapprove of US President Donald Trump’s handling of the Gaza war.

"over 50 percent of US citizens are satanically racist" is the real headline here

you already know ADL's next headline?

I don’t even want what’s in the US’s best interest, but I also don’t think supporting Israel is in the US’s best interest

This “unsinkable aircraft carrier” sure is taking on a lot of water, the pumps are expensive, fixing the leaks is gonna be even more expensive, and trying to maintain it is just pissing off everyone else on earth.

It would genuinely be more in the US’s interest to declare Israel a rogue terrorist state and launch an invasion. Relive the WW2 glory days. I honestly think that could prolong US hegemony by a couple decades.

What was the title if the study again, that showed that popular opinion on a topic doesn't matter for US policy? Only when looking at high income groups there starts to be a correlation.

I mean they’re wrong depending on how you define “national interest”
