Has anyone on hear actually taken the time to LISTEN to Harris’s statements about Israel?

Just tonight - Israeli people and American people are allies. Friends. She is not for cutting off arms shipments to Israel.

I know you want to think that she is in the pocket of the Lefties - if she was Biden wouldn’t have picked her.

You honestly think Trump is better for Israel or even likes Jews? He doesn’t care about Israel any more than he cares what Melania thinks about abortion- just elect me….

Netanyahu and Sinwar are perfectly implacable enemies. The more Palestinians the Israelis kill the more Sinwar’s position hardens and cred as a living martyr grows. The longer the Israeli hostages are held the more justified the repeated attacks. Bombs now just to make the rubble dance. Now dragging this into a showdown with Iran, certainly America and the free world’s enemy, no doubt about it.

Where does it end? I can’t see it from here but believing that Donald Trump will make a terrible situation better is lunacy.

One of the few things done well by the Biden/Harris administration is the continued support of Israel. If Harris wins -- will she continue this or will she walk back on this statement as a tool to get elected and follow the far left side of her party which calls for divestment, de-arming/de-funding Israel and generally supporting a 1-state solution? Of note, the entire body of her political career (AG, senate, candidate) has been as left of center as you can be and still have relevance in US politics. Thus It is reasonable to be concerned that she will follow the latter. Also, while Trump is a nut, he certainly was far, far more stringent about Iran than either Obama or Biden/Harris -- the effects of this pressure are obvious; Iran is far more of an issue now.

The Vice President is a simpleton who is equal measures of incompetence and ineffectiveness. She has no executive experience of note and no accomplishments save the boxes she successfully checked in her climb up the Democrat Party career ladder. Her sense of international relations is devoid of any understanding of our own national interests and the attendant needs of our allies. In short, she communicates weakness in all things she addresses. For that reason, she is dangerous to our security and the security of our allies.

You wish, but not so. Just continue believing falsehoods. Negativity won’t ever win.

If Trump had shown any semblance of foreign policy leadership that wasn’t completely driven by nepotism and/or self-aggrandizement, I might agree.

Even in her relative inexperience, she is a critical and pragmatic thinker who is not afraid to make a decision and explain why.

All he has to offer is 4 more years of chaos, ego, and self-dealing.

The only lunacy here is the moral equivalency of equating Sinwar and Netanyahu and thinking Harris will be Israel’s savior.

Netanyahu and Sinwar are two pre-historic predators locked in a fatal embrace.

The world sees it.

Ask yourself why, in the wake of a true atrocity committed by Hamas, Israel has lost the upper moral hand which they surely should have retained given what happened.

I absolutely believe Israel is an unbreakable ally of the US. We should all be disgusted and sickened that Iran, with its money men in Qatar and Dubai, has managed the seemingly impossible feat of turning a ultra religious regime that would sooner execute its entire LBGT population into one that is somehow the victim here. Drop any of these campus protestors into Iran for 5 minutes and see how long they last.

I am in no way at all equivocating Israel or Israelis with the likes of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas.

I am saying that Netanyahu has played right into the propaganda war waged by those same actors, diminishing Israel’s support here at home and worldwide.

I still fail to see what Trump will do or not do that makes a positive difference here.
