Netanyahu wanted Trump to win, that should tell you ALL you needed to know
Exactly what freaked me out in the later months of 2023. He wanted to tank Biden, the guy sending billions, because the next guy would be worse.
Yet Biden continued to put Israel over America...
And Kamala pledged to be the same as Biden.
So why aren't you blaming them for continuing to support a genocide even though literally every poll said it was going to get trump elected?
Well many did, but acknowledged a trump presidency would be worse.
At worst, on the topic of Israel it was a net equal position. Time will tell if trump is even worse than Biden on Israel. (I personally expect so, as Biden wanted status quo, trump wants American invested condos in gaza once it's "cleared out")
Yet Netanyahu continued to publicly and explicitly support Trump...
And didn't cop out with a "I have no opinion on the matter", as he would have if it didn't matter, like you say
And I'd call him an idiot for it, because I couldn't and still can't understand why Biden and Kamala put up with it.
Like, Bibi is an asshole. trump is an asshole.
No one is debating that.
But Biden and Kamala either couldn't see that, or understood that and for some reason kept supporting Bibi and his genocide.
They were Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football over and over again. Except this time with Lucy openly saying she'd yank the ball and calling Charlie an idiot for continuing to try.
"Palestine wasn't important enough to throw the election to literal fascists who will ensure that there's a genocide both here and in Israel, so don't be mad at Palestine protest voters!" + "Palestine was the issue which threw the election, if only the LIBS had listened to us!"
There is simply no contradiction there. Supporting fascism and genocide cost Dems the election. Their ideology wasn't different enough from Trump to offer anything of value.
Harris, you might remember, proposed and supported border legislation that is still further right wing than what Trump has implemented or has stated he's planned on implementing.
