You cannot blame all the people of Israel for something Netanyahu did. Many people in Israel did not vote for him and even the ones that did are now mostly upset with him. It would be just like not giving money to the USA because some people elected Trump as President. I did not vote for him, I should not be punished because other people did vote for him. YOU ARE NOT BEING FAIR TO THE PEOPLE OF ISREAL.

But we are being punished even though we didn't vote for him.

Whose being punished?. IF you live in the USA you are not being punished. There is a lot of trade between the two countries and a lot of people benefit from that. true if you a Palistinian and follow the teaching of Islam then you maybe are being punished. I do not blame the people of Israel for all the actions of their leaders just like I do not blame the people of the USA for the actions of our leaders, specifically the Trump. That is not fair to the people who did not vote for either of them.

Do you see all the people who are being snatched right off the streets? Have you not looked out your window in the past 6 months? We're definitely being punished for having Trump as our president

Sorry but I do not see people being snatched from the streets. My son in law is Latino, he and his family are all legal but he knows people who are not legal and no one he knows is being snatched from the streets. of course this is LA there are so many undocumented here it would be impossible to snatch people you would have a riot on your hands, too much disruption.

here's a good story for you - son of a US Army man born on a US base in Germany deported to Jamaica - A US BASE. This is the example of people with no empathy, "it hasn't happened to my people so it must not be happening". It's happening

I live here and IT'S HAPPENING! Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Also, saying your son-in-law is Latino is basically like saying you're best friend is Black when you're being accused of being racist. Proximity to it doesn't mean you understand it at all.

I doubt that all of the police are legal in LA, I am serious about that. There is no way to tell in LA and surrounding areas who is legal and who is not and it would be impossible to round everyone up there are not enough police or agents to do that, impossible here.

I'm saying they need to risk Trumps threat to continue to prosecute. I do not blame other countries by stopping their interactions with us because of him. But we will suffer as a whole. Money is the only thing they care about. Do I think he should hold back money, absolutely not but they can't concede.

Do you know we, the USA TAXPAYERS, give Isreal $11M a day? Did you know Isreal has Universal Healthcare? Did you know Isreali citizens are given a free college education? Why should we keep funding all this for Isreal, when trump, the maga senators and the house are planning on cutting $930B in Medicaid? That's a B, as in Billion. But you want to keep funding Universal Healthcare and free college to the people of Isreal? jfc 🤦‍♀️

Israel, not "Isreal".

Indeed, Israel has a more egalitarian, more "lefty" (as repukkkes say) society than tRumputinist parts of USA.

As a Nonmuslim I'm saying, the jihadism of such misinterpretations of islam has its partners in crusadism and kahanism of such misinterpretations of christianity and judaism. Not one of the three Abrahamic religions is better or worse per se. Every adherent should be concerned fighting these ugly misinterpretations in one's own "playground" first and foremost.

I am not arguing that these people are not bad. I am just saying that I did not vote for Trump so I should not be punished just because he is my President. Believe it or not the way the system of Isreal is set up a minority of the citizens of Israel voted for Netanyahu. More people voted for Trump in the USA than the people who voted for Netanayhu. So if you live in the USA under your logic. YOU SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRUMP!!! YOU ARE RESPONIBLE FOR THE ORANGE ORANGUTAN IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA. you are a hypocrite.

I did not vote for Donald Trump any of the three times he ran. Nonetheless, I am an American citizen and he is our President. And he is using that position and our resources, in ways that actively damage our entire planet. We must continue to actively oppose him. We cannot just say, “It’s not my fault.”

Then you can not blame the people in Isreal for Netanhahu either. A majority of people in Isreal did not vote for him and they are not responsible for him if you are going to be consistent and not take responsibility for Trump you cannot blame the people in Israel for Netanahu. I want you to be consistent in your arguments or else you lose your credibility and no one is going to listen to you about ANYTHING YOU SAY.

I have never believed in “America First,” for so many reasons. And I think all Americans should have the things you list. What I don’t think is that the folks who gave Donald Trump a $400 million airliner that will cost a ridiculous amount of our tax dollars to adapt for use as Air Force One should have been promised even more than that in aid for THEIR healthcare. They are among the wealthiest nations in the world because of their oil reserves. Never mind what the Israelis do with the foreign aid we send them, aside from arming their genocide in Gaza. The real corruption is elsewhere.

it was the horrific regime of Qatar-saudia-their gulf satellites who finance tRumputin and he them. The irony being the regime in qatar is the rendez-vous place for khomeynist terrorists of iran AND wahhabist terrorists of saudia. Conclusion - tRumputin as ordered by his master terrorist putin of russia ultimately finances the khomeynist terrorist regime of iran, via qatar-saudi gulf satellites. The same evil does terrorist putin of russia through his emissary terrorist ramzan kadirov of checnya with the ultimate goals of genocide on Ukraine and the entire Modern West incl. but not limited to USA.

Connect the dots, folks!! Once you do, you'll see that the magnitudes of monstrously evil traitorous tRumputin-jdvance-stephenmiller regime are IMMINENTLY UNBEARABLE!!

I DO NOT know where you got your numbers but I am not going to take your word for anything. Israel allows the USA full access to their entire country. That means our military is stationed for free in a very important part of the world ie the Middle East, we get plenty from Isreal.

People in America are being punished, despite not voting for Trump. They will need to suffer a lot more in efforts to rid themselves of that traitor, but in the end it will be worth it.

People in Canada are living with the threat of annexation and suffering financially, But it will be worth it to get rid of Trump.

People in Ukraine are suffering extremely fatally, but they refuse to give in to the war monger Putin or his accomplice Trump.

Innocent people in Gaza are suffering fatally because of Netanyahu and Trump.

Innocent people in Israel will have to suffer for the actions of their criminal leader, just as Americans will suffer because of Trump.

Putin, Trump and Netanyahu are all guilty of crimes against humanity and need to be held accountable. The entire world will suffer a lot less without these maniacs in power.

Fixed that sentence for you with the important addition of just one word!!

People of Israel have also already suffered fatally on Oct. 7th 2023 by the unwillingness of the kahanists-netanyahu regime to prevent the hamas-hezbola terrorists from genocidizing them on that one day, I repeat, on that one day when more than 1200 totally innocent Israeli civilians had been massacred by the most horrific ways and many taken as hostages by the hamas-hezbola terrorists who are kahanists'-netanyahu's partners in genocides and crimes.

But, one thing that is noticeable about you Elena Freshman Schumann is that you still, I don't know why, seem to, like, avoid pointing at the real culprits here i.e. the criminal tRumputin who is blatantly interfering in Israel's own internal affairs and the criminal netanyahu who has set it all to be that way.

USA tax payers should not fund the benefits of other countries that surpass the benefits available in the USA. America first means Americans should have universal healthcare, free childcare, and free college tuition BeFORE this same level of service is funded by the USA to foreign countries. BTW, why are there corporate tax subsidies? Why do publicly held companies need taxpayer dollars? If a person can afford to buy stock in a publicly traded company, shouldn’t they be held accountable to pay for losses and then benefit from gains? Taxpayers should not have anything to do with financing publicly traded stock.

Of course!! But the typical paradox of right-wingers in USA is precisely financing the worst regimes in the world, from saudia-its gulf satellites-to-russia-israel-turkey-hungary....., while attacking the genuine American Allies such as Canada, European Union and Ukraine. That IS what IS horrific about right-wingers' of USA foreign policies that is totally dictated by terrorist putin of russia!!

I AGREE that Trump should should STAY OUT OF THE POLITICS OF ISREAL. Trump is NOT a citizen or even a resident of the state of Israel. Trump has no say whatsoever and it is rude of him to butt into something that is not his business, but he does this all the time so I am not surprised.
