We had better not get dragged into the middle of this!! Israel struck their Embassy in Damascus, so of course they would respond.
I am SICK of my tax dollars being used to clean up Israel’s disastrous missteps. |

| I feel the same way. But Democrats are sure to get in it full speed. Globalists want war. That includes Netanyahu. |

| Weapon sales. Land grabbing. Ethnic cleansing. Religious agendas. Oil control. |

| What can we do to prevent further American involvement? If Iran wants to attack Israel, let Israel figure out how to respond without getting propped up by the USA. Iran may be a brutal, repressive theocracy, but Israel is also despicable - a bunch of bloodthirsty savages who steal land, kill women, and butcher and starve children. |

| I truly believe Israel has never been closer to disappearing than it is today under Netanyahu. The man has f#cked up so badly when it comes to Israel’s security, strength, and standing in the world. His tenure has been disastrous for Israel and Jews worldwide. |

So odd how Klaus Schwab seems to like Netanyahu so much. What do we make of that? |

Just imagine what happens if we re-elect our friend of Israel and Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is toxic. He really must go. Israel needs new leadership that more closely resembles the body politic. |

+1 I often think how sad that it wasn’t his brother who lived to lead Israel, but maybe he would have been no better. The Israeli right wing is looking pretty toxic after these last few decades in power. |

The people of Israel are not blood thirsty savages. Many of them didn't vote for their current leaders. Stop with the generalizations, unless you want people equating all Palestinians with their blood thirsty leaders. |

Israel should be on their own 100000000%.
The US should NOT get sucked in and waste another $5,000,000,000,000 on another stupid way in the Middle East.. Israel made its bed, now it can lie in it. Israel. The gift that keeps on giving. |

| No interest rate cut this year. Oil prices about to skyrocket. People really underestimate the bloody thirsty nature of petro-elites and those who want to influence the U.S. election. |

Funny, I blame all of this on Jimmy Carter and Reagan. |

And we are enabling their right wing! The current political party is the MOST RIGHT WING IN ISRAELI HISTORY. Our support should be conditional on who is elected in Israel. Israel does NOT have a written constitution. It operates under a proportional representation system. There are 120 seats in the Knesset , the Israeli parliament and whoever gets a majority of the Knesset (61 seats) gets control of the government. In order to get representation in the parliament, a party needs to win only 3.25% of the vote. So there are so many political parties including fringe political parties. No party in Israel has ever one a majority - 61 seats so deals are made with fringe groups to try and get to 61 seats. Likud a center right party has 32 seats, Yesh Avid (a center left party) has 24, Religious Zionist Party has 14 (an extreme right wing party), National Unity Party has 12 (centrist), Association of Sephardi Observers of the Torah (rightest, ultra orthodox party) have 11, and then 6 more political parties have 7 or fewer seats. So to get to 61 seats Netanyahu has allied himself with ultra right wing political parties including those who don't think the 20% of Israeli Arabs who have Israeli citizenship should be allowed to be citizens, that settlers should have all the territory in the West Bank, gay marriage should be illegal, ultra-orthodox men and women should not have to serve in the military (they now make up 25% of young men and women who should be doing their compulsory service). Why is a Democratic US president supporting the right wing? Maybe if the US stated we wouldn't support Israel if Israel votes to have leaders in Israel who aren't working for a two-state solution and peace there would be more political pressure in Israel not to elect extremists. And since the fastest growing population in Israel are not liberal Israeli's but right wing and ultra right wing extremists the future is bleak. |
