61. Israel has always been our worst enemy because we refuse to believe that from a foreign policy perspective.

It is not about being anti-Semitic, Palestinians are Semites too. It's about who we give the power to and who uses it for their own benefit over the benefit to the USA in general. We keep supporting the wrong side in international politics. And we like to kill off the anyone bearing the message. Trump base is most Trump supporters are anti Semitic. They mostly come from a history of cross-burning racists. Say what you will, attach any other ethnic name to what has been happening at the hands of the Ashkenazi Jews who migrated from Europe to Israel since 1948.

I am sure I will be attacked for this but study ME history and argue with the facts, not me.

Whatever Biden was going to do about the Israel-Gaza war, he was going to lose votes. Intractable Jan 2025 #6

He wouldn't have lost Jewish votes unless he was anti semitic JI7 Jan 2025 #12

I don't agree with your statements. Intractable Jan 2025 #15

It's not about losing Jewish votes...it's about losing enough Jewish votes. Self Esteem Jan 2025 #18

Doubtful that is enough there are only about 6 million Jewish adults in the US and obviously not all of them voted. EdmondDantes_ Jan 2025 #40

Yes, indeed. And also many, who support Israel for non-Jewish religious, eschatological, evangelical, end-times reasons. Intractable Jan 2025 #33
