Our Leaders and Media Have Totally Normalized Anti-Palestinian Racism

Even when our leaders have not been actively encouraging the mass slaughter of Palestinians, they have often consciously avoided acknowledging it.

They have indeed.

Hell, Trump and Joe have exactly the same position on Israel and one of them is going to be president.
I feel like I am losing my entire mind whenever I read or hear most news outlets and almost all elected officials talking about anything to do with Palestine.
The whole exercise of forming a religious state with approval & support of overtly secular countries is weird? No idea why we have ever supported what amounts to a 70 year genocide...
- Do you have the same feelings towards Pakistan?
  
  Fwiw I don't think any state should be formed around religion, but if you look at the last few thousand years the Jews have been non stop driven out of just about every corner of the earth, and literally genocided. Surely if any group needs a reliable place to call home, it is the Jews.
  
  Surely if any state has made Jews less safe, it's Israel
Palestinian isn't a race, the country was a creation of the UN after WW1; technically, they're mostly Arabs, who, for the record, conquered like 11 countries, assimilating most of the natives
