      In this instance, it’s a perfectly reasonable comparison. Both Trump and Biden are/were deeply connected to the Zionist project of Israel and support it unequivocally.

      To try and somewhat mitigate backlash from voters, they leak or hint that they are furious with Netanyahu behind the scenes but nevertheless continue to approve a never-ending stream of money and military equipment to Israel to continue their destruction, mass killing and ethnic cleansing.

      Yes. Stop acing like a fucking cultist. Numbers do not lie

      During Biden

      70% of all structures in Gaza were damaged or destroyed
      92% of all housing units destroyed or damaged 88% of school buildings were damaged or destroyed
      80% of key water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities
      Only 16 out of 36 hospitals were partially functioning, facing critical shortages of fuel, medicine, and clean water.
      75% of agricultural land, including orchards and greenhouses, was damaged or destroyed

      Biden lied about working on cease fire. He blamed hamas for the failure when the issue ws Israel. Both Trump and Biden bypassed thr congress teice to give more weapons to the terrorist state. The numbers of killed Palestinian was also higher during Biden

      I am describing the same mechanism that both of their staffs used; unsourced reports indicating politician really wants <popular thing>, despite evidence to the contrary.

      Trump does not oppose the genocide any more than Biden did, evidenced by giving them the weapons and diplomatic support, and directly attacking countries for interfering.

        Nah

        You’re disingenuous

        Trump is a case of the Netanyahu tail wagging the orange dog

        Israel is leveraging the Tangerine Toddler, through a combination of BiBi having serious dirt on him through Epstein and promising him wealth due to his filthy son-in-law and the daughter he molested

          Is it really that hard to believe the pedophile-in-chief, like most people in the epstein files, supports the settler-colonial state for ideological reasons and didn’t need to be blackmailed?

          There is no such a thing as Netenyahu controlling the USA or Trump. Trump is a scum who want to enrich himself and his family with wars and conflicts and also serve american imperialist interests in the middle east

            I’m older than many here

            Old enough to remember when things happened, and occasionally Mossad would be implicated, but what had happened always served US interests somehow

            The ledger is long, and has been filling for decades, always with the understanding that those debts would be repaid

            The US always ponies up when they’re going to be embarrassed, but they bit off more than they can chew, and their attack dog slipped the leash decades ago

            Israel and Zionists have always been experts at weaponised victimhood

              You should be old enough to know that Netanyahu was a hardliner and opposed the Oslo accords although those accords was beneficials to Israel. It allowed them to colonize more swiftly and discretely Palestinian land. Netanyahu wanted to keep the fast way of colonization but American forced him to accept.

              There is many other time where Israel listened to the USA because there was real threat if withdrawing some kind of support .

              Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip. when President Eisenhower threatened to cut off all U.S. aid and support, and considered imposing UN sanctions.

              In 1991 Israel refrained from direct military retaliation to Saddam launching missiles to keep the to avoid undermining the U.S.-led Arab coalition against Saddam Intact.

              The middle east was the most important region for empires for centuries . The USA control of the straight and trade routes would be an amazing leverage against Russia and China. That’s why the USA also backed Saudi Arabia proxies in Yemen to control beb el mendeb . The war on Iran was definitely serving both Israel and the USA imperialist interests not national interests . The failure to win a war do not mean the bad intentions was not there.

              If Israel control the USA then there would be no negotiations with Iran. The full scale war will continue. If trump was blackmailed he would easily give the west bank officially to Israel like he did with the Golan heights .

                You’re so close

                I lived through all of that

                I laughed when the US went into Iraq when Kuwait slant drilled into their fields and were surprised to be shot at with US weapons

                And again when Dubya did what his handlers told him to do

                It’s not that Israel controls the US.

                They’ve been a useful tool for the West, including the UK for decades, but the power balance changed

                The Mossad did dirty work for the West, not just 'Murica

                But, Israel might be cruel and vicious, but they were clever, and they did what they did to ensure that they would always enjoy the support of the governments they did the things for that they could not do themselves

                That has now shifted, and sharply

                Between Kushner, Epstein and others, it’s not about leveraging 'Murica, it’s about leveraging Trump

                And the whole world will have to deal with it, unfortunately
