Just thinking aloud… with the narrative forming that Trump is restraining Israel in Lebanon, will he get the same criticism from pro-Israel types that Biden did when he restricted 2,000lb bombs? Yes, Trump has built up goodwill with Israelis, but so had Biden right after Oct. 7
@pauldgross Does that apply to the illegal occupation? Since most Israelis support it, should Israel's liberal friends back Palestinian oppression, too?
@pauldgross You make a fair point, too. I agree Bibi is distinct with regard to domestic values—and the huge protests we saw a few years ago reflect that. But we don't see those protests against Bibi's foreign policy or the occupation, and I think that's the source of diaspora criticism.
