      So your reaction to learning that Trump is actively sabotaging peace talks with Israel is… Blame the Democrats?

      Seriously smooth brain conservative take, holy shit.

        I’m not supporting Trump, I’m wondering why Israel is so central to democratic policy when they have literally done everything in their power to elect Trump?

        I can’t imagine anything besides corruption or kompromat at this point. Literally nothing else makes sense.

          That comment you made above is supporting Trump. You saying you’re not supporting him makes no difference.

          It is old geopolitics.

          Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc. benefit greatly from doing things the way the US likes. They make massive amounts of money, get a massive military to keep enemies at bay, they get to keep deciding how much crude oil costs, and they get massive amounts of weapons. In return they all spy for the US, allow the US to put massive military facilities in their countries, and protect the petrodollar.

          It is that simple. The Palestinians have very little wealth, military, and political clout. So they get run over by the machine. Is it horrific? Yes. Is it easy to understand? Also, yes.

      worse than the same? this must be a mental lapse or just bad faith. I mean I would totally understand “not enough” but “worse than same”? Are you living in a parallel universe? The moment Trump is elected you will start seeing people rallying for more support to Israel and probably sending American troops over there.
