Former President Donald Trump says he would have responded the same way as Israel did after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas but urged the country to “finish up” its offensive and “get this over with,” warning about international support fading.
He spent a bunch of time yelling “America first” to his base and telling them that we can’t support, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc because we need to spend that money at home. And now they’re onboard.
As much as he’d love to paint the democrats increasing pressure on Bibi as “supporting terrorism,” his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
Yup, Republicans are stuck in a conundrum: they’ve successfully sold fiscal responsibility and inward focus to their base, but that same base has been sold this idea that there’s a chosen people who are entitled to the holy land. Well now they have to choose. I hope they choose the former.
I think there’s a good chunk of Republicans who still support Israel at all cost, but I think the realization of what’s happening over there is eating away at that steadily. I think America’s support for Israel is slowly coming to an end.
Chosen people, are you frickin kidding me? Do you know how much land the Arabs have (Palestinians are mostly Arab)? Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The Jews ask for one little plot of land and suddenly everybody starts crying genocide. What the hell happened to all the native Berbers in northern Africa?!
All because some random guy claimed they were the illegitimate descendents of Abraham ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“The Arabs” are as much one people as “the Europeans”, let’s just give Italy to the Roma people and demand that Norway take them all in.
The Jews didn’t ask. Look, I understand acknowledging conquest and the reality of the world, but to pretend that the conquerors are the good guys while it’s happening… Don’t be naive. See it for what it is.

They clearly don’t… otherwise they wouldn’t be voting for the person who wants to spend it all on himself.
The like the idea of it. They’re not actually going to get that though.
