Correct.The majority of Americans are against this war and have an unfavorable opinion of the president (the lowest since Nixon’s Watergate scandal).
The majority of Americans have unfavorable opinions about Israel now too.
They’re losing the information war and rage pigging about it.
Reminder, since it keeps being slid past a lot of people's notice:
Currently, the Israeli government is attempting, through Senator Tom Cotton, to enjoin compliance within our government, in a manner only comparable to a hostile takeover of our intelligence and military apparati by a foreign power recently declared a critical intelligence threat by our own government.here is a reminder that Israel being responsible in the entirety for any and all negative repercussions of this war as the nation that started it, is backed by the words of the Republican party's speaker of the house:
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., described the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a defensive measure, saying, "Israel was determined to act with or without us" following a classified briefing on Monday evening.
Johnson told reporters after the briefing that Israel viewed Iran's capabilities as an existential threat and was prepared to conduct operations regardless of U.S. participation. He said Israel's assessment shaped American deliberations, and it was "determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support."
The speaker said administration officials had to weigh risks to U.S. forces, regional assets and interests before supporting the operation.
"They had to evaluate the threats to the U.S., to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond. And they determined, because of the intelligence that we had, that a coordinated response was necessary," Johnson said.

Johnson said he guarantees that if the U.S. had not acted, the Trump administration would have been hauled in by Congress and asked why they waited if they had "existential intelligence, knowing that that would happen."
In any sane society this would be marked as an open and naked act of aggression tantamount to an act of war. By Israel.
Article dijo:The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency recently elevated Israel's counterintelligence threat designation to “critical,” the highest level in its system.

The reported assessment has drawn attention because it became public while lawmakers are debating a provision in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would deepen defense technology cooperation and industrial integration between the two countries.
Article dijo:I recently reportedthat the U.S. House of Representatives has quietly inserted an amendment, Section 224, into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027 that would merge the U.S. and Israeli militaries for purposes of various weapons technology research and development, including but not limited to artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber, quantum computing, biotechnology and virtually any other new developments that come down the pike.
If that wasn’t bad enough, there is an even more questionable piece of legislation now being advanced in the U.S. Senate that seeks to merge the two nations’ intelligence-gathering operations in the Middle East.
Buried deep inside the Senate’s 192-page Intelligence Authorization Act of 2027 is Section 622, titled “United States-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement.” It would require the president, acting through the director of national intelligence and as necessary the secretary of war, to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing with the Government of Israel” on a list of subjects that encompasses almost every topic of intelligence interest in the Middle East.
The amendment was offered by Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a notorious Israel-firster who has been a vocal proponent of U.S. involvement in every foreign war of choice in the Middle East since getting elected to the House in 2012 and the Senate in 2014. Although not as well-known as Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mr. Cotton is every bit as bad when it comes to his eagerness to use U.S. military power on behalf of foreign interests.
