A 64-year-old woman from Chicago's western suburbs is facing hate crime charges and accused of assaulting a Palestinian-American couple in a video that went viral.
Get off the internet. You are extremely overestimating the support for Palestine among the average American voter. This place is not at all representative of the American public.
AIPAC would have ratfucked her and tanked her campaign had she come out strong against Israel.
Look at the shit Ilhan Omar had to put up with for daring to simply bringing up Israel’s financial interests in the US…
She even signaled a day or so before election day, to anyone paying attention, that she would be harder on Israel. At the last minute so as to not give AIPAC enough time to blow up her campaign.
Wut? She should have called it a genocide. The majority of US Americans on both sides (left and right) want to stop sending them arms.
She chose the unpopular option that war and environment profiteers prefer, and she suffered the consequences.

Not true. I think it was something like 55% of us Republicans that opposed sending more arms to Israel, and it was over 60% of Democrats.
The number is much higher for leftists, of course.
