Trump gave the Israel lobby just about everything. He recognized Jerusalem when no one would. He recognized Golan. He called for Netanyahu's pardon. He killed Soleimani, bombed Iran's nuclear facilities with B-2s and started a dimwitted war on Iran for Israel.
But it is never enough for this insatiable crowd. Now, since he isn't willing to burn down the entire global economy for Israeli pipedreams about regional hegemony they will call him every name in the book. The sooner he is done with them the better.
Is antisemitism increasing?
Absolutely. Without question. 100% yes it is.
Is this because people suddenly randomly decided to hate Jewish people around 2024? No.
Antisemitism is rising is because
1) the majority of the USA and the world feel that Israel is committing war crimes and
2) both Israeli and Jewish leaders continually work to conflate the State of Israel with the religion of Judaism
Against and again we are told that criticism of Israel the country is antisemitic and equated to criticism of Jewish people.
Personally I don’t prefer to conflate the evil actions of Israeli politicians with an entire religion. But the overwhelming majority of both Israeli people and Jewish people DO conflate the two. The official spokespeople and most prominent leaders make a mission of conflating the two.
So either Israel and Jewish people are one in the same - in which case antisemitism is because of the actions of Israel (I don’t prefer this option) OR the actions of politicians in Israel do NOT reflect the religion - in which case Jewish people have not often or loudly enough condemned Israel and those who seek to conflate it with their religion.
@HilzFuld As long as it ends in Israel being restrained and the US out of this war & the region then IT’S A HUGE VICTORY for the American people & citizens in the Middle East including Israeli citizens.
@marcthiessen Any agreement Trump can get at this point that removes the US from this war is better than escalation. If the deal also removes the US from the region & forces Israel to ACTUALLY stand on their own would be a tremendous win for the citizens of Israel & the entire region.
I think @SenTomCotton did or had a major hand in the introduction of this bill. He is a traitor & should be tried by a jury of random American citizens. I think the law states “jury of his peers” but as we’ve seen his peers are also criminals working for the same criminals that have brought to this point.
@ighaworth There was no reason for the US to be at war with Iran other than on behalf of Israel. Israel is the problem and must be restrained or we should fully decouple & let Israel act & deal with consequences unilaterally.
@DavidWohl@jconricus It’s Israel’s fault. Also America’s fault for allowing Israel to behave in the disgusting manner they have for all these years. Keep defending these Israeli government actions & see how unkind the future will be to you.
@jconricus Bibi’s on camera pledge to wage an 8th front war on Americans with Israeli propaganda is why YOU are trying to frame Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Lebanon as a “peace effort”
You sir are disgusting.
Tom is the definition of a traitor. These sort of statements & behavior while representing Americans including on Senate intelligence committees and proposing to merge US Israeli intelligence is the sort of reason we have the crime of treason from our founding fathers. The Israeli government has behaved in a disgusting fashion in front of the entire world and Americans for the most part are completely unaware of how awful that has been and what the long-standing effects of our support for Israel during this time will be in the future. Tom should repent, pray for mercy & stop manipulating American citizens into paying & supporting the Israeli government.
@GovMikeHuckabee@SecRubio@Israel “The tether of terror must end”
I agree, decouple the US from the terror of the IDF & Israeli leadership IMMEDIATELY!
84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally.
Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.
@SenTomCotton Take this recommendation with a mountain of salt. Tom supports ending American sovereignty by merging US & Israeli military & intelligence immediately following the ethnic cleaning in Gaza. Tom is a disgusting human & should be no where near the Senate or intelligence committees.
