I think an often overlooked group of Americans are those that just don’t give a shit about the middle east. From their perspective it full of assholes led by groups that hurt women and minorities. Religious kooks that are constantly commiting acts of terrorism around the world, and actively regressing year after year. Every attempt to “help” in the area makes everything worse.
I’m from a hugely diverse, well educated, part of the US and growing up the same joke about the middle east was used for the last 40 years. “They should just glass the whole region if they ever want to see peace in the middle east.”
It goes without saying everything about that is terrible.
Islamophobia is normalized in America, especially since 9/11. The dehumanization of people in the Middle East is intentional in order to Manufacture Consent for US Foreign Policy in the Region, especially since the Iraq War. Plus the extent of our Military Operations are barely even touched on if at all.
This Genocide in Gaza has been a notable exception, it’s difficult for US News Outlets cover the News and paint our Ally Israel in a good light when it’s been a year of daily Human Rights Violations done by our Ally with our Unconditional Military Support
