    I’m not supporting Trump, I’m wondering why Israel is so central to democratic policy when they have literally done everything in their power to elect Trump?

    I can’t imagine anything besides corruption or kompromat at this point. Literally nothing else makes sense.

      That comment you made above is supporting Trump. You saying you’re not supporting him makes no difference.

          And criticizing spoiler third party shills isn’t supporting genocide.

            They aren’t a spoiler where I’m standing. Undecided voters aren’t here. You have a lot of nerve to call anyone a shill with that rhetoric.

              Cognitive dissonance will do that to someone that chooses to forego critical thinking.

              You have a lot of nerve to call anyone a shill

              Thanks friend!

                  Yep. It’s good that you can at least can acknowledge your faults. The next step is to do the work and overcome them! It’s really not hard to understand how the EC works.

          Worse than same.

          Is.

          You’ve literally said they’re worse than Trump.

      It is old geopolitics.

      Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc. benefit greatly from doing things the way the US likes. They make massive amounts of money, get a massive military to keep enemies at bay, they get to keep deciding how much crude oil costs, and they get massive amounts of weapons. In return they all spy for the US, allow the US to put massive military facilities in their countries, and protect the petrodollar.

      It is that simple. The Palestinians have very little wealth, military, and political clout. So they get run over by the machine. Is it horrific? Yes. Is it easy to understand? Also, yes.
