If Trump’s staunchly pro-Israel first term and his nominations for top administration positions are any indication, Netanyahu’s glee is justified.

But what about the Muslim American and Gaza demonstrators protest vote!

Like many Trump voters looks like they did not think this through.

Not all muslims are Hamas supporters. You might want to check out the Oxford debate speech by Joseph Haddath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ62bhMFQ1Y

Plenty of people on both sides did not think anything through. In particular the alliance between leftists and radical islamists is something to behold.

Let's hope the region can get back to the 'Abraham' accords process, build relations, NOT drop bombs!

Either way you look at it, the next 4 years will be interesting.

Saying every Muslim supports Hamas is like saying every Jew supports that Nutty Yahoo.

In the early - mid 90s there was a peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Israeli PM Rabin got a Nobel Peace Prize for that too. Things looked pretty alright. But one day Rabin got offed at Jerusalem Airport by a member of Kach - a Jewish fanatic terrorist group. Sad to say, the temporary peace fell apart again.

I noticed that America's new "First Lady" did not bother to represent her adopted country in Paris. Instead, she conducted one of her trademark unintelligible interviews on Fox and Friends.

Meanwhile, America's top felon is busy trying to fill the government with his felon friends.

Two democratically elected strongmen doing what they do best … a major danger for the region and the world at large.

Meanwhile, America's top felon

How is he a felon? And the people that voted for him couldn’t care less if the his haters call him that, they still voted for him, that’s a fact. That should be challenged all day. Now you can say, you don’t like the guy, but calling him a felon is just wrong. Now if any conservative here called Obama or Biden a felon, the mods would have a problem and it seems they’re ok with you calling Trump a felon

is busy trying to fill the government with his felon friends

…as well as calling anyone you don’t approve of a felon, 4 years ago, the left loved Tulsi, loved Musk and Twitter, loved RFK Jr. now because they left the DNC and supported Trump they’re felons, it’s wrong and shame on the Mods for not calling that term out, but go after my post instead thereby agreeing with it, so where is their neutrality in this? why allowing one side to spew vitriol towards the incoming president, but then go after conservatives that say something nasty about a Democrat President? Why do the mods allow this one-sided hypocrisy?
