It is indeed surprising, but it's just words. He'll say this, then continue sending financial and military support. Nothing will come of this.

All Zionists are religious nationalists.

Ever heard of Socialist Zionism? The most important branch of Zionism in the first half of the 20th Century, decidedly leftist, decidedly socialist with some collectivist elements (kibbutzim for example), often areligious while remaining culturally Jewish, and a fairly strong advocacy of Jewish-Arab cooperation in its base, at least in the 1920s and 1930s.

Zionists are religious nationalists.

This is why they can't be reasoned with.

The distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli nationalism needs to be clarified more often.

I respect Jewish people's right to peacefully practice their religion. (Though I disagree with all organized religions for their seemingly intrinsic capacity for inflicting harm by providing a haven for opportunistic demagogues and predators). I do not respect the Israeli military and police blowing up and beating Palestinian children to death, or ordinary people who say that violence is neceasary because they want more land.

There's plenty of crazy people who think the other way, calling the religion unacceptable but embracing the nationalists who make human piñatas.

Pretty sure US is still sending billions of dollars of aid to Israel every year.

Pretty sure next to nothing gets sent to Palestine.

This is meaningless, unfortunately.

It's not just the involvement of religion that's problematic. There are a few other things:

Ultra-Orthodox Jews basically get paid by the government to sit around and do nothing for the economy. Meanwhile everyone else is obligated to conscript and fight wars that are often driven by Ultra-Orthodox Jews as a voting block.

If Gaza and the West Bank were fully absorbed and everyone living there given citizenship with voting rights, Muslims would outnumber Jews. Ignoring Muslim parties would no longer be an option. Israel's moves seem largely to keep Palestinians permanently stateless, divided, disenfranchised, and continuously squeezed out of even the land they do have.

There is a consensus in Washington around supporting Israel in the present day. It hasn't always been this strong, especially when Israel was trading the identity of CIA moles to the Soviets. There wasn't a whole lot of trust then. But over time, both political parties in the US have built up support. It's only been more recently that the issue of Israel has become more partisan. Part of that has to do with Iran, since Trump scuttling the Democrat-supported JCPOA was partially driven by Israel. Then of course Democrats have always had more of an ear towards the abuse of Palestinians.

There's no room for diplomacy after you label someone a fascist. We can do that, but he probably shouldn't.

Damn after 70 years? Fascinating indoctrination here
