    US President Trump accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the reason for global hatred of Israel in an angry call on Monday…

    Wow, he’s actually right about something.

      Eh, not exactly. Netanyahu is the one running Israel, and he’s making plenty of unforced errors on the international PR front, but a lot of what Israel is currently hated for would’ve happened no matter who was in charge. There’s no realistic timeline where Israel doesn’t commit genocide in Gaza; the best case scenario is that the genocide ends by late 2024 rather than getting an intermission in late 2025-early 2026. The only parts of Netanyahu’s conduct that don’t reflect the views of the Israeli public and political establishment are the bad PR and ignoring the hostages; putting Gazans in their place via blood and iron is largely uncontroversial.

      TL;DR: Netanyahu’s unforced errors are making Israel more hated than it’d have otherwise been, but the core reasons for international public opinion turning against it would’ve been there no matter who was in charge.

      I’m glad Trump can reach across the isle, straight over centeralist Democrats, and agree with the radical left.

        Which also isn’t very trustworthy. They’ve been constantly rushing to the presses with the US wishlist presented as a draft deal. This could easily be a ploy on behalf of the Epstein coalition.

      Eh, if they were going to lie they’d have said relations between fascist A and fascist B are as good as ever. There’s no sense in putting out something like this unless it’s the truth.

    Would be great to actually hear it, otherwise I am just going to chalk this up to creative propaganda.

      It would take forever though.

      Neither has the stamina to choke the other out, and both would be wheezing after a few punches. After two minutes we’d be forced to sit through ages of them limply clawing at one another’s adams apples and throwing limp-wristed, weightless punches in the general direction of each other’s groin until random chance decides the winner via myocardial infarction.

            First we give them just under a lethal dose of PCP. While the PCP is kicking in, start playing some pump up music. Put a mask on each of them; the mask being that person’s enemy. Benny Netanyahu wears a black person mask and Trumpty wears a Palestinian mask. Put them into a room that is playing more pump up music with the speaker saying words like “fight”, “attack”, “maim”. Throw in some makeshift weapons.

            Charge like $20 to watch the livestream. If we’re lucky, both of them will kill each other.

            This format can also be used for billionaires.

              I can see it, I think if you filled the undercard with some of the more obnoxious MAGA influencers and manosphere dorks you’d have a bankable concept here.

    Hey Bibi. I seemed to have lost my penis. I asked all the thirteen year old girls around but none have seen it recently.

    Help, your friend in perpetual war crimes,

    So there is hope. If Trump is sufficiently pissed off about Israel, this could be a turning point to clarify that AIPAC is a foreign agent influencing US politics.

    Aww, another failed bromance…

    It’s not going to make things better, but it still feels good to see MAGA failing, every time.

    Will it change something with regards of the US supporting the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon? No?
