If you put it like that it'd be like if a Hitler shrine were demolished after 5 years, 10% of Americans considered Hitler a hero and Anthony Blinken still had a portrait of Hitler in his living room.

Oh, and Joe Biden really wants blacks and whites to stop marrying.

That's the level of racism you support if you weaponize anti-semitism in Israel's defense.

There's 50% of Americans that support Donald Trump so... I don't think its unreasonable to think 10% of Americans hold extreme views.

Did Donald Trump take a machine gun to the 4th holiest mosque in the world and engage in a terrorist killing spree?

OK. How many Americans support the invasions to Iraq and Afghanistan ? Probably around a million dead in those two wars. Less than 10% ?

Most Americans who supported those wars naively believed that they would do more good than harm.

It's not quite the same thing as considering a terrorist who shot up a mosque a hero.

Hence why accusations of anti-semitism in relation to criticism of Israel usually imply that the accuser is an Islamophobic racist. This is what they're defending.

Your statement implies Americans no longer support these wars, I'm sure many still think they were necessary and good. As was Vietnam and a bunch of other atrocities.

So, getting very close to 10% by this poll. And at least Israel has an existential struggle with the Palestinians/Arab world, which explains (but doesn't excuse) racism and terrorism - but what's the excuse for American racism?
