Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters celebrated Donald Trump’s election as president, hailing what a leader of the Israeli settler movement called an ally who would support them “unconditionally”. Congratulating Republican Trump, Netanyahu said the former president had made “history’s greatest comeback”.
“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America,” he said in a statement, which was echoed by the leaders of the hard-right nationalist religious parties in his coalition.
We did it Lemmy! We saved Palestine!
(/s, just clarifying because some people on here are mind-bogglingly fucking stupid.)
We did, Palestine is now free of Palestinians!

Yep, they know Trump will follow the money. And they definitely have money.
Trump doesn’t care about the country’s money, he cares about Trump. He will help them because any friend of Trump is someone worth helping, and Netanyahu is his friend.
He cares about development of Gaza beachfront property
What an insult it will be when that development goes bankrupt too…
Haha. Or gets bombed the next time politics align slightly out of his favor.
Have you been under a rock? Trump literally only cares about money and power. He doesn’t have any friends. He only has acquaintances and co-conspirators. Old clips of him with Epstein and Giuliani are the only time I’ve seen him display what I would call happiness or fun.
Friends are a form of power. They may not be what you or I would call “real friends”, but does that matter?
Sounds like the word you’re looking for is “allies”
Sure, that works.
Quid pro quo. We’ve seen this before, it will happen again.
Do they? Most of their military supplies come straight from us in the form of donations. I don’t believe they’ve ever really spent that much money that we didn’t hand them to give back to the MIC, like a parent giving their kid a dollar to buy an ice cream cone.
This is the kid gives the parent a quarter in exchange for a dollar to buy a 75 cent ice cream.
The kid technically “pays” everytime they get an ice cream, but it’s a perpetual system where the kid never runs out of ice cream and gets to eat all they want for zero cost
Fuck Israel. Fuck Trump. Fuck everyone who voted for him or Netanyahu. For legal reasons I can’t say what I really think about them.
All of Bidens unquestionably loyalty to Israel is for nothing.
Which rational people have been saying for decades.
AIPAC doesn’t care about anything besides Israel
The Biden administration sent a letter to the Israeli government demanding it act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next 30 days or risk violating US laws governing foreign military assistance, suggesting US military aid could be in jeopardy.
Biden and Israel are already violating the Leahy Law and have been for a long time.
So yes, pretending that’s not happening is still unquestionable loyalty
Oh no, a strongly worded letter! Did he send it attached to the new shipment bombs?
Rhetorical opposition doesn’t mean shit when your still giving them everything they want materially.
but he said he might stop sending bombs
Keyword said not did, most likely in a ploy to flip some pro-palestinian voters last minute only to pretend he never said it after the election.
Basically tells you everything you need to know about how shitty Israel is
