Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    Good work Pro-Palestinian voters, you screwed your own people.

    By the way, the US military will most likely gear up for a war against Iran. Yep, orders from Riyadh and Tel Aviv for another 20 year shit hitting the fan adventure doomed to fail.

      The election wasn’t decided by voters who cared about Palestine, I don’t think.

        Americans made it very clear they don’t give a shit about their country wrongdoing as long as it’s their side doing it.

            That seems a little uncalled for. Just because the repugnicans gaslit is for the last four years about 2020 doesn’t mean you get to lump anyone with suspicions in with them. They got to take their evidence to court. If the results are legitimate no one has anything to lose.

            now can you tell me why electronic voting machines in swing states need to be connected to Starlink? The company notoriously owned by the man who bragged about how easy it would be to hack those same machines with “one line of code.” The man who said he’d be going to jail if Trump didn’t win. The man who has just been caught faking his million dollar Republicans voter registration ‘lottery.’ Or what Trump meant the various times he claimed he didn’t need votes to win, or when he said he had an election day secret weapon? or why Elon knew the results four hours in advance? Or why MTG said on Fox two days ago the exact number of electoral votes Trump would have today?

            There’s a whole lot of oddities and inconsistencies. Denying them because you don’t want to look like a conspiracy nut isn’t helpful.

      Good. I hope they gets drafted and lose like in afghanistan and in vietnam.

      They were very happy to overlook genocide so they don’t have to fight against fascism. Now they get neither.

      How about good work democrats for not actively opposing the genocide? Like, why are you so quick to blame anyone but the shot callers, playmakers and plan writers? Genuinely.

            Nobody should be genociding, that’s pretty obvious.

            But would you prefer a little genocide or a big genocide?

            I mean you personally, which one would you prefer?

              The Democrats in power killed your family. You ask them to stop, and they look away. How do you wait in line to vote for them? It’s not about they voted for Trump instead. It’s about offering people whose vote you want, a reason to give it to you. Sorry your family died but we aren’t stopping isn’t that

          putting aside the absolute disgust on being ok with “proper genocide” by harris, turbo genocide is always better. would you prefer a slow painful death from hunger & disease or blown instantly to pieces ?

          people in gaza are starving and their medicine aid from UN was on purpose bombed by israel under biden during election time. even after that harris said her policy will remain the same.

          and given the history of flipflopper harris i have absolutely zero doubt that she would have happily let israel burn everyone alive in gaza, westham and palastine for few more millions donations to her re-election campaign from aipac. she would have used her getting the presidency as lesser evil to brag america voted for her policy of genocide.

            Ah okay so a turbo genocide gets your support because it is the more ethical genocide?

            You’re in luck, January 21st is coming for Palestine and you’ll get your wish 👌

              did i say it gets my support ? my support will be to put both gop and most of dnc in solitary jail for life time for treason and war crimes. make them look at all the dead kids and homeless for rest of their life.

              but hey instead i have to be content with “normal genocide” for a year only to have it upgraded thnx to dnc caring more about superpacs than voters.

            You know the West Bank isn’t Gaza, right? And that it’s much, much larger, no? You’re seriously now arguing that more and faster genocide is better? You sick duck.

              palestine in 1948 was larger but that didn’t stop anything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre even today hundreds of palestinian in wb have their home taken away by settlers at gun point, sometimes just grenades are thrown into the homes with children.

              You’re seriously now arguing that more and faster genocide is better? You sick duck.

              am i wrong? and what else i am supposed to do ? we call ourselves a democracy but in elections we don’t even get an option of not having a genocide even when 70% americans are against it and 90% democrats. the irony that our “democratic” party can just tell its entire voter base to stfu on such issues.

          Would you talk like that to a rape victim? “I’m sorry you got raped but at least it wasn’t anally”. There is no gradation in genocide and no excuse to support it whatsoever. I know americans are brainwashed to overlook genocide since their country have been built on one, but it’s pretty clear for most of the world.

          I hate americans now.

          I think my comment has been misinterpreted. Op said “good job” sarcastically. I too am using “good job” sarcastically. The Dems are the shot callers and play makers I am talking about. The ones deserving of blame due to their utter inability to denounce a genocide and instead promising to continue arming it.
