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.

    Why does the blame go for Harris for not convincing people when it was clear to anyone paying attention that Trump was going to be worse?

    This sounds like how people talk after being obviously wrong and not being able to accept being wrong.

    If there are two paths and once says “Doom” and the other says nothing, only a fool picks the marked path. Only a fool who cannot accept responsibility blames the unmarked path for not being clearly marked “NOT Doom”

    When one person says they are going to do bad shit, it’s not on the other side to convince you they wont also do bad shit. The person assuming the one not talking who to doing bad shit will do it away because reasons is the problem. There is no one to blame but themselves. They will be a tool until they seize their agency and make an informed decision.

    Stop being a tool.

      That’s the thing though. In regards to Gaza both paths were marked “Doom”. With regards to the left, courting actual Republicans clearly marked both paths “Conservative”.

      Your analogy depends on your point of view being everyone’s point of view. This is a fundamental failing of the democrats this year. They again acted like they were the only obvious choice and nobody could possibly have a legitimate opinion otherwise.

      If you ignore voters and let party elders call them Russian agents then it’s not exactly rocket science that they aren’t going to vote for you.

        Fine one says “more doom” and the other says “less doom” and you picked more doom because it didn’t quantified how much less.

        The point is you picked more doom well. Blaming the signage being inadequate. The sign was clear to anyone that hadn’t shoved their head up their own ass.

          You’re still not getting it. You can’t have “just a little” genocide. There is no more or less doom. There is only doom.

            You can definitely have a just a little genocide.

            You’re inability to comprehend this lead to more genocide. It doesn’t matter if you can see it or accept it; reality doesn’t need you to understand.
