The Republican Party’s White House hopefuls are offering conflicting messages on the growing foreign policy challenges that include the Israel-Hamas war
Nikki Haley vowed to stand with Israel “every step of the way.” She promised to “decimate” the Iranian economy. And she called for continued funding for Ukraine as it fights to repel the Russian invasion.
“It’s a dangerous world right now,” Haley told Republican primary voters gathered inside New Hampshire’s American Legion Post No. 7 as a new war raged in the Middle East. “And this is gonna get messier before it gets better.”
Less than 24 hours later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told New Hampshire business leaders that the United States should stop funding Ukraine until there is a clear strategy. He was more focused on what he saw as a threat posed by foreign nationals at the U.S.-Mexico border. And Israel, he said, has a right to defend itself.
Just a reminder that Republicans’ “support for Israel” isn’t really “support for Jews.” It’s a combination of:
- “We hate Muslims slightly more than we hate Jews.”
And
- Evangelical Christians want Jews to control Israel so Jesus can come back.
On that second point, the evangelicals need a big attack to happen against Israel before Jesus will return. (Or so they believe.) It shouldn’t come as any surprise, then, that the evangelicals actively work against any peace process. If someone waved a magic wand tomorrow and got everyone there to lay down their arms, join hands, and sing Imagine by John Lennon, the evangelicals would see it as a step backwards from Jesus returning.
The Republicans like to spin “we support Israel” to fool Jews into voting for them. Then, they turn around and support policies at home that hurt Jewish people.
Luckily for Republicans, they’re hypocrites unbound by consistency.
I’d there is any consistency to the Republican party it’s the lack of consistency.

Says a guy that had no campaign strategy at all, but still strong-armed a complicit state legislature to change laws to allow him to run for president. All the while ignoring his office (probably for the better, if we’re honest) to show what an insipid cockroach wearing human skin he is, tanking his entire campaign.
Stop ingesting your sugar with three fingers and fuck off back to the Bug homeworld, Ron.
Also holy shit, ABC, that picture of Haley is horrific!
He passed all the culture war bills he thought would snag him farther right Trump supporters THEN he ignored his governor job.
The Republican Party has been failing every test left and right for about a decade and a half now. We really don’t need this extra data point to reach the conclusion that the party has been “drained of its global reach and prestige.”
Their hatred of the brown people exceeds all logic and reason. Especially brown people with different religion. Jesus is the only one who hates all the right people. Despite what the Bible says, Jesus was about hate.

What do you know about jesus beyond what the bible says?
Does Christianity prevent you from grasping the concept of sarcasm? Or is that just pedophilia?
The day christianity would prevent pedophilia, he’d start to fulfill his promise to save the world
