The Uncommitted movement announced it wouldn’t be endorsing Kamala Harris for president over her failure to push for a new U.S. policy on the Gaza war.

    If Israel doesn’t need the free weapons that cost us hundreds of billions of dollars, then lets stop wasting the money.

      Oh, I agree, we should have cut them loose decades ago, but here’s why that won’t happen:

      1. The evangelical vote demands “we” control the holy land so Jeebus can come back.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism#:~:text=A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted,because it is important for

      "A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ’s return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.[112]

      According to the Pew Research survey in 2003, more than 60% of the Evangelical Christians and about 50% of Blacks agreed that the existence of Israel fulfilled biblical prophecy. About 55% of poll respondents said that the Bible was the biggest influence for supporting Israel which is 11 times the people who said church was the biggest influence.[112]"
