As I follow the stats, somewhere between 20-40% of the US public seems to be open to the idea that Israel is a genocidal ethnostate. I have a low opinion of the US State on the best of days but it actually seems quite remarkable that they would be buying from them given where public opinion seems to be at. The US public is tolerant of a lot of things but the political cost-benefits surely can't make sense for that.

Approximately 60 percent of Americans have unfavorable view on Israel. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/07/negative-... However there are national executive pressures and state mandates against speaking out or boycotting Israeli companies, notably in Texas where they bought these. https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/anti-israel-policies-are-ant...

The outcry has RAPIDLY changed in the last few years and the corpses being propped up in our government buildings by deep-seated corrupted interests have long gone deaf.

Are you saying that you expect the Trump regime, which has been otherwise clearly and resolutely pro-Israel, to be implementing BDS policies and refusing to buy anything from Israeli companies? To try to appease 20%-40% of Americans mostly on the opposite side of the aisle of them? The Trump regime?

(OK - this is a state-level thing. The article is vague on details, it mentions Texas and "27 states". But the Texas government at least is blood red Republican and strongly aligned with the Trump Feds, as are about half the states, so depending on which 27 states we're talking hardly a surprise. And you were the one who said "the US State" in the first place.)

Do you really think popular opinion always gets reflected on policy?

The US is a genocidal ethnostate. The few remaining Jews of the planet are mostly 'oriental' and are ethnicized by the Islamic world they have been exprelled from.

I think it would be hard to make the label "ethnostate" stick to the US. It is too diverse.

[applicative]

it literally genocided the entire indigenous population, style 'red' in favor of another, styled 'white' while enslaving yet another styled 'black'

[roenxi]

Yeah, but even in that characterisation it started with 1 ethnicity and the US replaced it with 2. So the result is less ethnostatic.
