    Putting aside that Israel is very much so being the aggressor against the Palestinian, what does Iran being antagonistic against them have to with the U.S.? Israel can take of themselves, they’re not owed arms.

        One of the best things about democracy and fighting for democracy is that apparently genocide is the ideal way to propagate it; the brown people in this country aren’t democratic? No problem! Kill them all and replace them with white people who believe in democracy. This non-white country is already a democracy? Well no actually! It’s not an American styled democracy, so it’s not actually a democracy! Kill half and support the other half!

        The idea would be very disingenuous because it would require ignoring the abundance of US actions and policies that have done the opposite. US foreign policy cannot be understood through a lens of democracy. Only a lens of empire is coherent.

          Of course! But if you go out in the wild, this is what you can expect when you speak of BDS to a stranger. Should you choose to engage with them then disentangling the idea of democracy would be the conversation.
