Ask a few random Americans some questions like, approximately when di Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, or Iraq become countries? What is the West Bank is the west bank of? Name any of the wars Israel has fought and what was the cause? Point to those six countries on the map without reading. If someone could answer one of those questions, they're easily in the top 5%. It's no better among people with passionate opinions, in fact, often worse. So when people arguing about Israel scream at each other that they're racists or antisemites or anything else it's hard to know what to make of it.
