Don't blame Trump's stupid war on Israel - Max Boot, WaPo

5. No. It is because both Trump's and Netanyahu's objectives align--on multiple "fronts."

That you cannot stop conflating disdain for Netanyahu and his policies from hatred of Jews is beyond me to EVER understand. It is simply NOT true for nearly any American that is even minimally aware of global events. Is there antisemitism in this country. Absolutely. Racism, anti-Latino hatred, MISOGYNY to the extent of promoting INCEL ideology? You are damned right. But the broad brush conflation for EVERYTHING is neither true nor helpful to the change I think you seek in this world. I know I do.

Trump and Netanyahu are two peas in a pod. Transactional to get what THEY want. Just as Putin, Orban, and Xi are as well. None of these five have the best interest of THEIR PEOPLE as their priority. Not at all, except where serendipitous to their own aims.

And to suggest Trump--the most easily manipulated Head of State the world has nearly ever seen--is not influenced by Netanyahu, just as he is Putin goes totally against the evidence. That doesn't mean Trump was not willingly manipulated without his own aligning agenda, but Netanyahu has been reported (with validity) to have gotten Trump's approval to take out Khamenei--which started this whole debacle. Two peas in a corrupt-as-hell pod--both seeking to escape their many horrific misdeeds and criminal offenses any way possible while pursuing the ultimate aphrodisiac--POWER.
