Summary

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, stating it’s “time” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highlighted his alignment with Trump on the “Iranian threat.”

Tensions in Gaza and Lebanon have escalated following recent Israeli airstrikes, with regional leaders gathering in Riyadh to address Israeli actions.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, though Biden’s influence on Israel may be limited following Trump’s win.

    “Accelerated genocide” is a term that fits along nicely with “enhanced interrogation.” It’s good to see the right-wing disinformation machine is still functioning since W. Bush left office. I wonder if Harris picked that gem up as she was courting Dick Cheney’s endorsement?

      Are you actually suggesting genocide can’t get worse once it’s already genocide? If so, you know absolutely nothing about genocide.

          Those literally were the only two options. It’s a two-party system. Sorry.

            Genocide and genocide? How about xenophobia and xenophobia? Pro-corporate anti-worker and pro-corporate anti-worker? We may be limited on parties, but they decide their platforms.

            You can continue to support the Democrats shift further and further right, but it isn’t winning them any elections, so you’re just handing victories to the Republicans because they already occupy that space. It gave us Trump in 2016, nearly again in 2020, and now again in 2024. It’s also given them the Senate, likely the House, and with the Supreme Court. How much more are you willing to give Republicans before you’re ready to hold the DNC accountable?

              Please do explain how losing to a fascist dictator who will end democracy holds Democrats accountable. A token opposition party in Putin-style elections doesn’t need to worry about accountability. Or anything else as long as they don’t defy Great Leader too much.

              Other than lots of people suffering and dying and you getting to gloat about it, I’m not seeing the upside here for anyone but Trump supporters.

              But I do hope you enjoy the gloating.

                Are you talking about Democrats here? Are you suggesting the election was rigged? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

                Where am I gloating? I’m pissed off that the Democrats threw yet another election by pursuing right-wing ideals with a right-wing candidate. They have yet again completely abandoned the left in order to court the right (who voted for Trump anyway) , and it cost them another election and likely every branch of government. I’m trying to get people like you to wake up to that fact, to hold your party accountable, and I don’t understand how you can sit here a week after their major loss acting like they had a winning strategy and did everything right. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is rotten.

                  I’m saying all future elections will be rigged. Because you and others helped put a man who literally said he is going to be a dictator into power, but we already have already established that you feel you are never culpable for anything bad that happens in this world.

                  Do you think dictators have fair elections?
