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.

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.

#11 America voted for Trump. No one made us.

#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.

Impeach Senator "Ms." Lindsey Graham for persuading Trump to go along with Netanyahu's "strategery".

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...
