Our President is far too crafty, too self-aware and immune to flattery to be bamboozled in such a way. Hush your mouth!

Humanitarian aid.

That’s the aid that goes to women and children, isn’t it? Stop spending that. Give more money to people with guns. The Republican Christian Peace Plan.

Got it.

That’s why they call it foreign policy.

What the hell happened to the indictments against Bibi? I thought he was headed for trials and there’s been nothing.

That jet fuel deal that Butina and the NRA folks were working on may have been a way to get themselves and their friends outta town.

Bibi is a coward. The final solution isn’t going to be to starve several million people to death. He’s kidding himself. No, they are going to have to be bombed and shot.

The loss of support for Israel has grown under Netanyahu’s administration. Without the US Israel is in very deep trouble. The Israelis better jettison Netanyahu before they lose any more support.

That might be the best thing that ever happened to Israel - losing support.

Right wing Israel gets whatever they want due to the bribes spread around by Shelly, Haim and the others.

And recall what happened to Bush 41 when he tried to bring Israel back to peace negotiations. He tried to overcome their reluctance by withholding aid payments.

Suddenly rumors of Bush’s antisemitism were everywhere. He became a one term president.

Donald and Bibi share one badass trait — they sure know how to rough up helpless children.

Most of us had turned against him completely even before he’d incited the far right in Israel to demonize and then assassinate Rabin. Unfortunately, between the minority of right wing Jews here (most prominently Sheldon Adelson, whose money and bile have distorted politics in both countries) and the mass of right-wing fundies who “support” Israel hoping to trigger Armageddon, he’s been given free rein to destroy the nation he professes to be protecting.

“but Gallup said!”

While Bibi isn’t the first guy to take advantage of this relationship, it says a lot that he feels that this is the best time to really take advantage.

Considering their neighbours, the Israelis are in better shape to survive most changes.

Oh, what might have been…

The occupant’s been the reliable useful idiot we thought he’d be.

I read this as “The Republican Christian Pence Plan.” Either way works I guess.
