    Put the recent headlines about Israel’s actions against the other guy’s vague, contradictory statements and demonstrated lack of deep interest in foreign affairs.

    You’re comparing Netanyahu to Trump? I don’t understand.

      For what it’s worth, I’m comparing what’s actually happening (genocide and the Middle East spiraling into war) with Democrats in office (tsk-tsking but providing material support to Netanyahu) to what history shows would likely happen with the other guy in office (hot air and bombast, but almost certainly not any greater material support).

        You know Trump has called for the extermination of all Palestinians, right? If you think Trump will be soft on Palestinians…well, you don’t. You’re lying. If you’re saying Trump would (or even might) be easier on Palestinians than Biden or Harris, you’re just straight up lying. There’s no possible way to be ignorant enough to make an honest mistake there. It’s a lie, and probably propaganda, because why else would you say it?

          More directly relevant, many members of Netanyahu’s government have also called for the extermination of all Palestinians, and they have the U.S. government providing political cover while they do it.
