Israel a right to defend itself BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT........

pretty much sums up the democrats on Israel in 2024.

Harris addressed the groups who have been calling for a cease-fire and peace in the Middle East, and pushed for a two-state solution saying "I see you, I hear you."

More appeasement of terror supporters from Kamala.

Do we need to wonder how she'll govern?

I grew up in the shadow of 9/11. I remember how America fought the war. I don't think America has any right to criticize Israel who is facing a much greater existential threat against many more enemies on their borders.

Spare us your self righteous lectures. I can barely take anymore of the hypocrisy.

Solidarity with democracy, freedom, and Israel 🇮🇱 (from a “centrist” American 🇺🇸 )

Kamala said she would not be silent on Gaza. 48 hours after the 12+ Druze children we're killed in Gaza, nothing but silence. She wants us dead. She is one of the most radical far left politicians in US history, and certainly the most radical presidential candidate of our times. She will not bring Americans together.

Btw - typo in your comment- in Golan Heights, not Gaza. 🥴 Just fyi. Wish there was an edit button.

I’m expressing MY solidarity with freedom, democracy, and Israel 🇮🇱 as an American. 🇺🇸 Not as a supporter of either candidate in what I have been calling our elections/country - “the shit-show.” I can hardly believe this is America 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😢

Is it any coincidence the two soldiers weren't white colonizers from Europe? Well played Bibi.

The people who had to see and listen to the speech didn’t see or listen to it, so I am not sure it will matter. We need to keep trying though, and he is trying.

The mobs chanting death to America, in America! should be a wake up call to everyone supporting them yet I don't see that happening. What has happened to people's brains? It's like they think they will be spared by islamist lunatics because they've been to a demonstration once upon a time? Delusional! "free Palestine" on October 7 killed even Muslims for failure to be their delusional brand of Islam, what do these people think will happen to them? Sorry for the vent, sometimes I just can't 🤯 I don't like bibi, but he's not the problem. I respect him more than spineless kamala, in any case.

It was an amazing speech! I said to myself, over and over again, ...if only the States had this level of strong leadership!

I was disgusted with Rashida Talib and her 'War Criminal' card she held up. She truly is a stain on America. Tablib supports Hamas by de facto with her actions - a terrorist organization with no human rights! Talib, ...would you please, please go live under the rule of Hamas, Hezbollah, and/or the IRGC, and see what life is like when you're no longer able to speak freely - living under the threat of being beaten, tortured, imprisoned and/or murdered if you speak up against the evil leaders you support!

If Jews love their country (and I know they do), a vote for Harris, is a vote for destroying Israel!

Ohh DP, ...Trump will STOP the Ukraine war. Harris will ensure the war continues, ...as Putin looks at her, like most leaders do, ...and just laughs at the incompetent DEI hire with ZERO foreign experience!

Just D is an a**hole who laughably can’t stick to a topic and thinks I’m a democrat (I’m not and never have been.) He’s a little troll/time waster who likes to “poke the bear” then goes “ahhh there’s the anger” in that condescending way true narcissists have, and then makes BS excuses for why “so-and-so/ Dems/ everyone is so angry (at “me” is implied. Narcissists are always victims 🙄🤪😆) He’s the poster child for “You can’t fix Stupid.” Just an FYI to the group. I’m giving time-wasters more and more a hard pass these days.

I said nothing about stopping (or for that matter continuing) the war Putin started; I mentioned that Trump would happily sacrifice Ukrainian sovereignty, culture, language, security, people, territory, etc. Allow Putin to destroy Ukraine. 🇺🇦 I’m not all for policies that allow dictators, especially well monied, well connected ones, to continue to roll over others. It’s very Chamberlain. And that didn’t go well for many years and cost millions of lives.

Again, what a foolish thing to say. You make these comments out of hatred and ignorance. Under Trump, NO wars were started. 

As an example, Trump put together the Abraham Accords which led to new opportunities and growth in the fraught middle east - not 'sacrificing' sovereignty, culture, language, security, people, territory", as you've incorrectly/ignorantly claimed.

Remember, your opinion is simply that - an opinion. Always best to back it up with facts!

Ok hyperbolic troll/time waster. I was civil but since you are just deflecting the conversation with personal attacks and hyperbole and deliberately mis-applying what I said from the Ukraine situation to the Middle East because you obviously couldn’t carry the conversation, I am now going to totally ignore you after this final message. Sheesh. 🙄 as if your opinion over your crystal ball counts more than mine and allows you automatically label me foolish, ignorant and hateful with any accuracy, and not in point of fact you are now being hypocritical. (And in case you don’t understand what that means, look up the word hypocrite and apply it to yourself.)

As for evidence to back up what you were deflecting to - the Middle East- instead of the subject I was talking about- Ukraine- it should be painfully obvious since Oct 27,2023 that the Abram accords have obviously failed miserably, but - and here is the important point so don’t miss it- and didn’t apply to Ukraine (the subject at hand) anyway!! Also it was Putin that started that war (Not Biden, Not Trump). Your so-called evidence its so completely off topic (and failed anyway) that it would be laughable that you considered it evidence, if it weren’t for the fact you are so serious! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

If you didn’t understand the CONCEPT applied when I mentioned Chamberlain (my evidence of what happens when democratically elected politicians feel they can “deal” with tyrants like Hitler/Putin”) then please google WWII Chamberlain and Hitler. Now bug off and learn something. 🤦‍♀️

Ahhh, yes, ...now the anger seeps through! I only used Trump's accomplishments as an example - nothing more.

I've used the phrase that Democrats are the party of Hypocrisy Democracy for quite some time now.

Of course you cannot 'deal' with Putin - he only responds to brute strength and/or the fear of strength - qualities which Harris does NOT have. If Harris does actually win, you'll see both inflation rise (yes, changing the subject which I appreciate you're sensitive to), and increased wars! Why? Simply because the evil tyrants and dictators around the world will see what we all see - a very weak leader - in which they'll take full advantage of! 

Much love.

Kamala, referring to Palestinians while meeting with Mr. Netanyahu (after his congressional address) launches the potent phrase: "...I will not be silent" ...as if anyone, anywhere in the world has "been silent" about Palestinian children, food, shelter, safety, security since October 7, 2023. At which point we stand in awe of Kamala's ability to not understand what is going on. From the close of day, October 7, 2023, the world has been "not be silent" about Israel's response to the inhuman viciousness unleashed upon it. Not only has the world been "not be silent" but it has manufactured monstruous lies about Israel's treatment of Palestinians: genocide, starvation, et al. And there's Kamala, posing as a lone, outspoken conscience, scolding Israel, extending unlimited equanimity to hamas.

I actually think at this particular point in time, it was much more important for her to campaign than to preside over Bibi’s talk. When it comes to priorities, her current #1 is campaigning.

All they do is campaign. The world is in flames, it sure, go raise more money to campaign. That will fix it.

Politicians know full well that, by their participation, or absence, at a given event, they are transmitting campaign messaging. There were undoubtedly quite a few members of Congress that were present, and even stood and clapped for various parts of his speech, who actually loathe him and do not truly support Israel as she needs.

They do so for the optics, even though they realize it is a ‘Catch 22’ situation. After all, they are generally well skilled at ‘spin’, and their constituents are more likely than not to ‘hear what they want to hear’, and believe what corresponds to their worldviews.

Perhaps some of those in attendance were moved to modify their views and political positions in ways that correspond more closely with reality and sanity. Perhaps not, as evidenced by Pelosi’s public comments afterwards. But, to skip Netanyahu’s speech - particularly for a sorority event - communicates all that anyone who is not blinded by partisanship or propaganda needs to know.

God help us all, because it certainly appears as if the inmates have escaped the asylum and are running amok in the streets, without any restrictions, or concerns of repercussions on their part - and with apparent approval by many whose public faces are all about law and order, truth and justice, and ‘right vs wrong’.

Unfortunately people have been saying that for ages in the form of “pick the lesser of two evils” which I always said is a race to the bottom. And look where we are? Has everyone forgotten that there are third party(s)/candidates? Why don’t we start demanding they put up better candidates; by first all switching to registered independent/no party affiliation? The sign the petitions to put 2-3 third party candidates up on each state’s ballot (they need us to at least show the potential for interest.) then put $$ into third parties (the dems and reps have enough true blue & red die-hards, they hopefully will feel the pinch, but it one bring them down to earth the first few election cycles.) Then start promoting picking the better candidate based on more detailed analysis of issues and how the real world is working, or not, and detailed proposals as to what to do. I know this sounds naive, maybe it is, but it isn’t like a 3rd party/candidate hasn’t happened before. Some changes in the system has made it less plausible and we need to highlight those to the general public and let them know that’s the result of both parties power &$ grab and we the people need to change it.

I didn’t want to delve into that too much here and detract from the speech itself. The lunacy on the Left is a whole other can of worms indeed. It will continue until there are consequences for the people vandalising and spreading hate. Much of what is being done is not protected speech, it is illegal. The current administration tacitly encourages the behavior by not enforcing existing laws. No moral clarity.
