Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF has killed 72,549 Palestinians with US-made arms funded with American taxpayer dollars; over 172,000 have been wounded or maimed.

Excerpt from the Axios article:

"We need to have a discussion about how to normalize that relationship and what change is necessary; there's no doubt about that," stated Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO).

Every Senate Democrat who's eyeing a 2028 presidential run voted against arms sales to Israel in votes earlier this week.

40 Senate Democrats voted on a resolution to block arms sales to Israel, up from just 15 on a similar vote last April."

After the resolution to condemn AIPAC's influence inexplicably failed at the recent DNC Conference in New Orleans, the CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Halie Soifer, expressed gratitude to the DNC's leadership:

"We are glad to see the DNC's Resolutions Committee's rejection of two resolutions related to Israel, both of which were out of step with the policies of the Democratic Party, as codified in the 2024 Democratic Party Policy Platform."

Halie Soifer is a former national security advisor to Kamala Harris. Link: AIPAC-er

And still the DNC doesn't release the official autopsy report explaining how the incumbent Democratic Party lost 7,371,247 supporters they had on Tuesday 3 Nov 2020, costing them the election to Dummkopf Trumpf and his cabal of oligarchs, grifters, misfits, and warmongers on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Why won't the DNC simply release the autopsy report to the American public?

The mask is off; our greatest ally doesn't need to be concerned with the opinion of Americans.
They own all alternatives.

Nothing gets fixed without Campaign Finance reform.
Until zionist campaign money dries up, our votes don't mean squat.

Millennials and Xers aren't so fond of Israel to begin with. Gen Zers really don't like them.

Israel has burned all of the sympathy strings they had to tug on after their long campaign of killing civilians and not even bothering to hide it.

The only other thing Israel has is our (Americans) weird religious obsession with Jesus returning to the holy land. Which is delusional.

We all know Trump is also delusional. So, our relationship with Israel is based on delusion at this point.

Once the boomers die off, I don't see much of a future for Israel. All of their neighbors hate them, and their security is toast after we withdraw our support.

When Netanyahu is out of office (and hopefully in prison for life) and Israel regains it's sanity, I will go back to supporting the Israeli's.

I Won't.

Not unless reparations for the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank happen and a serious reckoning regarding genocide happens within Israel.
Just getting rid of Bibi, then picking up as if the last few years haven't happened isn't going to work. Israel and the US have a bill to pick up.

"the Israeli's."

The Israeli's what? And which Israeli are you referring to here?

How about...

When Netanyahu Trump is out of office (and hopefully in prison for life) and Israel America regains it's sanity, I will go back to supporting the Israeli's Americans.
Yeah.

I can go with that.

Nope. They voted for this. No one made them.

#13 Clown accurately observes, "And the world is isolating us."

100% correct.

That's at the core of my #10 retort:

#7 | #8 | #9 | #11 all overlook the fact that their hatred of Bibi (albeit well-justified) extends to every single Israeli citizen. As dibblda says in his #11: "They voted for this. No one made them."

Now, clown brings it home (thank you): "And the world is isolating us."

And why is that?

Because the world is just as judgmental of America because "We (all Americans) voted for this (Trump)...

... as #7 | #8 | #9 | #11 are judgmental of Israel for having elected Bibi (which, in a parliamentarian system, is not the case).

But here we are.

The world is viewing the USA just the way many denizens here are viewing Israel.

I don't think that you'll ever get the chance.

Any hope for peace was assassinated by the Jewish right-wing, when they murdered Yitzhak Rabin.

They are doing to Southern Lebanon what they did to Palestine in 1947/48. Bulldozing entire neighborhoods. Erasing it from the map. Ethnic Cleansing.

Bomb Israel, do it today.

Bomb Israel, it's the American Way.

No mercy, Hegseth doth Say. Israel lives it every Day.

War without End, God loves, only Them.

Righteously they Cry, Amalek Must Die.

They Fail to see,that Amalek is Free,Among Them and not an Enemy.

They Are Amalek...Within themselves, and so Are We...

Sadly, yeah. We as a nation voted for this too.

#23 | Posted by dibblda at 2026-04-20 01:56 AM

Israelis, like Americans have an opportunity to right a wrong. If either population votes to continue the policies of the current heads of their government, they deserve the international scorn and condemnation pointed in their direction. While Trump is ineligible to serve another term, Americans anger should be directed at the republican candidate and the party that enabled him. Democrat candidates must not lose sight of this: direct people's anger not just at Trump but the republican candidates that enabled him!!!

Most people don't have access to the truth when it comes to Israeli apartheid and the genocide it is perpetrating in the Occupied Territories. Just as the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto were hemmed in by fascist walls and bullets, are the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza imprisoned by American bombs and bullets.

9 | Posted by sentinel: The Israeli citizens. I grew up in the 50's and watched old BBC B&W's of the camp liberation's. It burned in a memory resulting in a vow to myself that I would always support the Jews, not anticipating a murderous leader repeating on other peoples what Hitler did to them.

Israel is the country most invested in Manipulating US political life.

Russia? A piker by comparison.

Israeli leaders wanted Trump back as president, he gives them whatever they want.

That Said, the Democratic leadership is also Totally corrupted by Israel.

It's a matter of Degree, not Kind.

Israel wins no matter who is actually in charge.

A real break with Israel would be possible only if the Money in Politics Conundrum is resolved.

Trump is an "Honorary" Jew like the Japanese were "Honorary" Aryans.

Politics makes for Strange Bedfellows.

Follow the money.

He did more to try and stop it then Trump but he certainly could have done more.

Trump on the other hand - as before the election - said essentially do what you have to. The fact is I don't see any US president hanging Israel out like they deserve right now. Especially since they have weapons like our F-35. They people in charge there are just evil.

Hi Galaxie Pete:

The best estimate of total Palestinian deaths today is ~75,000. Many bodies are still under the rubble and it's anyone's guess how many Muslims were nebulized by the IDF's use of thermobaric bombs.

On Election Day, Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, the number of Palestinian deaths under Democratic POTUS Joe Biden was 43,061; 101,000 of these poor souls were maimed or wounded.

During the long and torturous 2024 campaign year, two separate NYT pieces reported that the IDF created an 'army of orphans" in Gaza, as well as a 'legion of amputees.'

And still US weapons and taxpayer dollars continued flowing to Israel in 2024.

Under Republican Dummkopf Trumpf, the IDF liquidated 31,935 Palestinians.

By math, +11,000 more Palestinians were killed under Joe Biden than Dummkopf Trumpf.
