    Is your assertion that the US and Israel will no longer be allies if the US doesn’t support Netanyahu’s actions? Isn’t Israel’s government made up of a lot more than a single man’s actions, and doesn’t Israel have a lot more to lose by losing us as an ally than we do by losing them? I say we call their bluff and let this murderer go to jail. The Israeli government will clean up the mess he made and still be our ally.

      The US and Israel are still allies even though the US hasn’t supported Netanyaho’s actions, so no. The fact that the US is still being an ally is the very evidence people are using to say the US supports Netanyaho.

      Unfortunately, it’s not just Netanyaho as a bad apple. Netanyaho is massively unpopular, but the genocide is not. Israel’s actions in Gaza have broad support among citizens of Israel.
