      Iran and China are hesitant on him. Iran because he might be stupid enough to actually start a pointless war that’s in no one’s strategic interests, not even the US; China because he can be bribed, but he also swaps to the opinion of the person who last spoke to him, which makes him unpredictable (and thus makes it difficult to establish any policy that deals with the US as long as he’s in power).

      Still kind of surprised there hasn’t been a poisoning attempt on him yet because of how much his ego thrives on being buttered up

        Wasn’t that why he loves fast food? It’s easier to target the White House supply chain for a precision poisoning than to try to hit every McDonald’s in a 50km radius and hope to get lucky.

    Considering how much money AIPAC has donated to get rid of any progressives that were critical of the genocidal Israeli government, I’m not surprised. I’m sure they’re getting even more desperate as as they need money and arms to continue the war started because of the governments sick violation of international law.

    “He meddled several times during the Clinton administration…

    …supported fundraisers in Israel for then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election

    …in 2020 he was all-out for Trump.”

    all that meddling and he has fuck all to show for it lol. hopefully that is a good omen for 2024.

      The DNC as a whole have been trying to remove PACs and undo Citizens United, which alone would gut Netanyahu’s influence in the USA.

      EDIT: Since this is somehow controversial, the AIPAC is a pipeline of campaign funding directly from Israel. Democrats have on several occasions pushed bills that would overturn citizens united which fail to pass both chambers of congress including HR1 For the People Act

        If they punlicly declared that they consider AIPAC a foreign influence agent, stop taking their money and start investigation for how it is a foreign influence agency, they wouldnt need to change any laws.

        They could have madea point of how they had enough and how the Reps are selling out the US to foreign influence. Instead they still take the money happily.

    First off, this isn’t a secret, and it’s not new.

    This is just more of the same, the press going the extra mile to give reach-around cover and misdirection for the failed policies of the current administration, or rather, their actual policies, which have lead us to where we are.

      You are incredibly misinformed if you believe the conflict in the Middle East is caused by the Biden administration. No matter who is the president, the US will always support Israel. Trump is loves to pretend he will fix something to get votes because his pocket book depends on being president.

        I’m not informed…?

        No US president in history, from either party, has been this hands-off with Israel. Period.

        And I didn’t say war, I said situation, as in the nonstop spiraling of events, without as much as a waiver in US support: diplomatically, militarily, or financially.

        The fact that you don’t know that, shows it’s not me who is misinformed.

          Maybe you are under informed. The Abraham Accords and the moving of the US embassy were escalations in this conflict.

            Wait, so you’re saying that US culpability in this conflict starts, and ends, with the Trump administration…?

            Again, I don’t think it’s me who’s under informed on this issue…

              No one said it was Trump. The US has been giving financial aid to Israel for over 50 years. You are misinformed because you believe Trump will fix it. News flash he was already president and he didn’t fix shit.

                …what? You just said Abraham accords are the reason for this conflict… That’s the same as saying Trump is to blame…

                And just because I’m rightfully assigning blame to Biden, the current sitting US president and self-proclaimed biggest support of Israel, doesn’t mean I support Trump.

                Feel free to creep on all of my comment history, my political leanings should be pretty self-evident.

                Don’t you feel gross telling people that if they say Biden’s policies have allowed the situation to get out of control, it means they support Trump?

                I mean, you do understand that ultimately Israel is our client state and entirely dependent upon our aid for their survival, right?

                They literally could not be prosecuting this war if we stopped shipping them weapons, and they would never have attacked Iran if we didn’t have our CSG and accompanying missile destroyers sitting in between them.
