I can understand most of what our conservative party does but I do not understand their obsession with Israel. I feel the nation should be supported and deserves to exist, but that they're doing a lot of inhumane things right now and saying that in the USA right now gets you called an antisemite incredibly fast.

It's because Israel is necessary for hosting the Apocalypse, and they are eager for it to happen so Jesus will return.

I wish that was a joke, but its not, and it's terrifying.

you put it right here:

> I feel the nation should be supported and deserves to exist

this is to say, you believe that israel should be supported in what it does, and that the inhumane stuff deserves to happen.

you arent in conflict with the conservative party.

if you said the same about nazi germany - that the nation should be supported and deserves to exist, that would be a very explicit support for the genocide.

the government is doing the things you want it to

It we rule out the possibilit thet they have "something on them", which I rule only because it kills discussion I would guess that the reason is simple tribalism.

The opposing side hates them, so naturally, because we are all semi-developed monkeys, you need to support them. No matter what.

The most simple explanation I've come up with for Russia and Israel is that they have incriminating kompromat on them.

Probably Epstein files on Trump, some sort of equivalent awfulness for the rest.
