He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    Frankly if they’re doing anything with their remaining days, I hope they’re shoring up America’s defenses. I cared about Palestine enough to vote for the candidate Netanyahu didn’t want in office, but now that y’all elected him, I care more about anything that can be done to help my country before he’s in to rape it.

      Hey, don’t look at me, I live in a country where democracy is not some sort of soccer game with just 2 teams (that also sort of play on the same half). Every vote counts, didn’t stop a large majority of people voting far right, and as we all know, far right only cares about themselves.

        In that case, you don’t really need to be weighing in on what “Joe and Kamala” should be doing with their remaining time in office, huh?
