    You really think there’s a complete carte blanche from either the current administration or will likely be under Harris? Don’t get me wrong. Israel has gone way overboard, but me assure you it could be a lot worse.

    Infact, the actions of Trump during his administration included moving the US embassy in an extremely controversial move and even the war criminal Netanyahu meets Trump personally - when he is not even President.

    Are you saying that taking action like not voting for Harris, which will help enable a Trump victory, is the correct course of action to reduce Palestinian and Lebanese suffering? Your approach doesn’t make any sense if your goal is to reduce suffering.

      “It could be a lot worse” is ZERO comfort to my neighbor who lost relatives in Israel’s bombings. Do you honestly think that’s a winning campaign slogan to get him to vote for her? Or to me who personally sees this suffering?

        Oh cool. Do you ever read the comments on the Israel times? You shoild check them out and look at who they exclusively want elected and see Harris’s victory as a collapse of Israeli US relations.

        Let’s get Trump elected so Israel can get what it wants.

        Hopefully your neighbor doesn’t have too many relatives.

          Ah, death threats of family members to motivate someone to vote. That will surely win Michigan for Harris. Have you considered phone banking?

          Donnie says a lot of stuff. It comes down to whether you can bank on his hatred of jews vs his hatred of muslims and his love of bribe money. Its some comedic cold comfort to me that a large part of his base are anti semitic white supremacists and they are having a hard time squaring their vote with support for the state of Israel.

          Comedy gold, made with the gold tooth fillings of dead gazan civlians. (to be fair, yes-- the dead babies and children are less likely to have fillings)

            You make an interesting observation and I’ve wondered about the seeming (if not cooperation, certainly working towards the same goals) of anti-semitic white supremacists (“Christian Identity” etc) and far right Christian zionists who believe “jews are gods Chosen People.” It seems they’re just two sides of the same coin.
