Israel says it is independent and not subordinate to the US as it pursues targets in Lebanon

[31j20b3]

Well. Here's some reality for the folks ini the Holy Lands still drunk on decades of US support of every misstep

Mr Netanyahu needs to accomodate Mr Trumps demands. If Mr Netanyahu decides to not accomodate Mr Ttumps peace plans
Israel will very likely come to know the wrath of the Orange Menace

That could be politically very very expensive.

1. I appreciate their acknowledgement; now please USA stop giving them a blank check

The amount of $s our country spends with grants etc to israel sickens me.

Treat them as an independent country

[Deuxcents]

2. Yes, that independence could cost them their allowance

[Lovie777]

3. Well that answers that.................

I think Bibi right now is pissed off at shithole and comrades.

What did he expect? shithole screws everyone, all he cares about his bank account.

5. lol after Adelson dumped all that money on trump

[Blue Full Moon]

4. Netanyahu is a security threat to the United States.

[Walleye]

6. Will Senator Fetterman criticize Trump? Or say something nasty about it

[displacedvermoter]

7. Paging AIPAC...

8. Well, alrightee then. I guess they do not need the immense amount of $$ and military support

provided to Israel since the 1950s/60s--the largest single recipient for many decades.

I don't want to hurt Israelis, but honestly? It is their corrupt political leadership doing so. I as a single American cannot stop that, but damn the damage being done. Bibi's arrogance knows no bounds.

9. Staying out of jail is an existential need for a politician in any "democracy"

Ya, well that;s why there are quotes around that

[2naSalit]

10. Okay, two raging...

Malignant narcissists going up against each other.

[31j20b3]

12. I'm not sure Netanyahhu is a narcissist, please help me understand that

What I see is that Netanyahu depends upon a very aggressive policy toward nearby muslims.

To me he seems to do that to SURVIVE, rather than to gain power or riches.

He's scared of going down. Everyone who has ever made huge mistakes is afraid of going down.

[Intractable]

11. Stop the weapons flow from the US to Israel!

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. Then they don't need our money or weapons anymore right?

[RainCaster]

14. We can take back that Iron Dome

They don't need us, do they?

[multigraincracker]

15. They can afford universal health and we can't.

That might be a start.
A 2 state solution might be the other. Go back to the original one.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Well the, let's stop providing them money and arms.j
