How can a US president betray "Israelis". He's not their president, and America is not their mommies. We owe them exactly nothing. They should get off our tit, and we'd like all the nuclear materials they stole from us returned immediately.

- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

Without the large amount of material and monetary support America provides to keep Israel's military the strongest in the region, they would get steamrolled by their neighbors. Probably not immediately, but it would be inevitable. Note that I'm not saying anything about whether this is right or wrong from any ethical point of view in any direction, simply that it absolutely would happen. For whatever reason it has consistently been the policy of the American government not to let this happen.
Israel's very existence as a modern state has been, shall we say, deeply unpopular with its Arab neighbors literally since day one.
You could have been the greatest president of all
No, he couldn't have
You betrayed us, the Israelis.
I realize I don't necessarily speak for all of my fellow Americans when I say this, but I could not possibly care less if Israelis feel betrayed by Trump. He's not your president, it's not your government, go fuck yourselves.
But he is the President they paid for! Doesn't that count at least a bit?
I'm sorry but you're past the 90 day return policy. Best I can do is a discount on the next president you purchase.
Do I ever have a deal for you!
You don't have to worry about your vote counting ever again! (Because it won't)
Buy two presidents, get one governor free!
Well he betrayed Americans too and they still seem to love him.
Do we tell them that he is the POTUS? Israeli interests should not be something we care about
What about Gazan interests? That’s been known to tilt an election or two.
Geez I wonder why genocide would tilt an election; it's not like it's the most horrible crime man has ever committed.
How did Israel transition from a US base in the Middle East into the country that visibly holds the keys? Blackmail? Money? Religion? What the hell happened?
Money. Politics is always all about money. Not ideals/virtues. Not borders. Not cultures. Not ideas. Not what the people need.
I find myself asking this question more and more... But not just the US. How the fuck does Israel have so much power over so many countries. Like just look at the UK and how they're treating anyone even protesting for Palestine. It's insane how much power they have over so many countries... I just don't understand how.
A giant honeypot operation whose goal was to ensnare as many prominent politicians and business leaders as they could into raping children.
Israel has nukes pointed at everyone in range, enemy and ally alike and will fire if there's a chance of Israel "falling."
All of the above.
Gotta be the Epstein blackmail?
Ghislaines dad was an Israeli agent
It's so insane. It's just blatant they dictate our foreign policy at this point.
And it's disappointing that the Dems are scared of doing without the election funding.
I get it. It's understandable that they don't trust voters to look past name recognition and ads. But... I still think it's a bad call. Being beholden to Israel isn't worth it, even if it makes us more likely to lose elections.
Call your Dems. Tell them you want transparency in funding, even if it is AIPAC.
Dems as a party could make a big show of rejecting AIPAC altogether and returning all the money. That'd buy them more publicity and goodwill than ads can buy. At least the next cycle.
Good question, but it's important to note that they only have as much power as they do because they're being allowed to do so by the US political establishment. It's not like Israel is writing US foreign policy in the Middle East from the ground up; US foreign policy just happens to be close enough to what Israel wants to do that that's what it looks like. That's the base on top of which the blackmail, money and religion are acting, as evidenced by how none of those factors would ever make America act like this with, say, China.
Israelis will blow wherever the wind blows. Don't let them convince you that they're totally checking anti drumpf progressives in November when suddenly every other D is taking their money. They will lie, cheat, and steal to keep the US-Zion Siphon going.
That op-ed is from a different author, in a different newspaper, over a decade ago. Not sure what it proves other than "different Israelis have held contrasting political opinions at various points in time."
Sorry man. But EVERYTHING I've seen about Netanyahu is just BLOODLUST! They totally leveled Gaza and the Palestine territories they occupied.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
I used to be a trump and Israel supporter, but my God! How much blood thirst is enough?
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
When the orange Cheeto lost to Biden and approved the execution of Pence, ("so what") that was the end. This worthless sore loser POS was hell bent on mass destruction.
No dipshit, you don't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, or to put your name or image on passports, park passes, or $250 bills. No, stupid, we don't want or need to see your ugly mug or name on the Kennedy center or federal buildings.
Just go quietly, into that dark, nameless abyss you crawled out from.
You have made America a much worse place, you divisive fuck head!
- damn proud Reagan Republican
Well, the Lemmy folk were bound to be angry about the Regan pride.
But, any ally is an ally. Even old yuppies.
Just rewatch "They Live" and realize we are now living in the world where nothing changed and the wealthy (alien/human traitors/yuppies) won. That's why they are mad. Put the glasses on and get angry.
Trumpism is a direct result of Reaganism.
damn proud Reagan Republican
WTF do you have to be proud of? That dementia ridden actor was the test run for Diaper Don.
idgi OP, just post the raw🔗
