“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”
From a purely strategic perspective, is this wise of Trump?
My impression is that even many American Jewish people don’t like Netanyahu. And he doesn’t need to remind anti-Harris protest voters that he’s even more anti Palestine. Many MAGA diehards don’t even like Netanyahu.
Like… who is he appealing to? Older Republicans, I guess, who remember Israel’s early days?
He’s appealing to people that hate Muslims.
And people who think the rapture starts with a holy war in Jerusalem.
Oh, I don’t think there’s any political calculation to 99% of what Trump says anymore. This is more about how much he likes “strongmen”. Hell, lots of folks in Israel don’t even like Netanyahu anymore.
Apparently he’s reasonably popular?

His polls have recently somewhat improved, but are still down from where they were historically. Earlier this year they were absolutely abysmal so the bar was on the floor for them to be seen as “on the rise”

It’s one of the reasons he has been stalling on ceasefire talks - the war is the only thing keeping him in power.
You mean the anti-genocide protestors that were never voting for Trump? Like the ones that decided to vote for an actually progressive candidate?
Aka vote for Trump.
I’m normally quite pro-third party and pro-progressive, but this is not the time.
So you turned into a pro-genocide Republican?
…No? If I protest vote against Harris, I help vote Trump into office on razor thin margins, who is even more pro genocide.
Again, I’m normally quick to vote third party or protest vote, but this is not the time.
You support genocide cause you’re scared? I wonder if Palestinians are scared.
Go home, propaganda.
What did I say that was propaganda? I have another question… Are you in a cult?
I refer you to my previous comment.
Harris saying she’ll fund genocide isn’t propaganda, but keep telling yourself whatever lies you need to hear to vote for her.
There it is.
Yep, you’re ignoring the evidence and lying:

Jill Stein, the progressive candidate that has dinner parties in Russia with Mike Flynn.
How many dinner parties are we talking about here and has anyone provided any actual evidence that she is secretly a Russian in disguise? There is evidence that Kamala has stated she’ll keep funding genocide though.
