🇺🇸 🇮🇱 More than 75% of Democrats and a third of Republicans now oppose sending more military aid.
Eli Clifton of the Quincy Institute has watched the explanations pile up, with algorithms blamed, foreign influence blamed, moderation failures blamed, all of it skipping past the simplest answer available.
People are watching footage filmed by people living through it, on their phones, with nothing between them and what happened.
No content policy on earth beats a video shot by somebody standing in the rubble.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇮🇱 🇺🇸 Foreign officials now treat American public opinion as a war front, and they’re losing it.
Eli Clifton of the Quincy Institute describes an eighth battlefield alongside the military ones, where the goal is setting the boundaries of what Americans are allowed to say about the war without professional consequences.
Going after prominent critics and elected officials was supposed to make everyone else think twice, except the numbers have moved the other way every single month it’s been tried.
Turns out Americans don’t enjoy being told which opinions are permitted.
