    He’s not wrong…seems like more and more of Biden’s own people are getting upset about Israel…

    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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Nobody has cared for the last 7 decades. Heck, you Americans were calling for the extermination of Palestine after 9/11. You just suddenly care cause the news told you to. And you’ll stop caring once the new conflict happens, just like y’all forgot about Ukraine already
