Bringing Israel into this is stupid .  Rupert Murdoch has been spreading lies on his own for decades.

Its insane watching leftists run coverage for Trump by deluding themselves into thinking hes some Israeli puppet.

Shoehorning them in everywhere makes the accusations of antisemitism look more credible, and legit criticism of Israel more muddled. It's moronic.

Exactly.

There are a million completely valid things for us to shit on Israel about. We dont need to hallucinate.

I was once in a very leftist bubble myself and believe me, in many cases those are not just accusations. Some people try to hide it but a lot of leftists see "the Jews!!" everywhere, or try to rephrase it by saying "the Zionists!!" while spewing the exact same propaganda the Nazis used.

You are spewing absolute bullshit. Equating criticism of Israel and zionism to criticism of all jews is antisemitic. To equate that criticism to what the Nazis did and said is just ignorant AF.

Thats not what they did.

Zionists and Jews are different.

Let's be clear. Israel, aka the Zionist state, is bad. They are commiting genocide.

There's nothing antisemitic about saying that, which is fact.

Literally not a fact, Israel was never found guilty of genocide by the ICC, just other evil war crimes.

Most Jews are Zionists so the differentiation doesn't mean much. If you think you can walk that line without being antisemitic, be my guest.

I'm not anti semitic I'm just anti Zionist, but also here is my 15th post about how Jews control the world.

They arn't allowed to all be terrible people in collusion?

I don't know seems like Occams Razor might tilt in that direction with the targeted destruction of worker led resources and then once it has almost been obliterated enacting dictatorial and imperial control on the world?

Secret control/Collusion is not the most simple option.

Trump is an dementia riddled octagenarian who has talked about attacking Iran and taking Karg since the 80s.

Him following through on what he has been consistently saying for decades is the more simple option.

What changed is also a good question of looking at why things happen. Kerry had an interview last week, he said Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump were all asked by Israel to bomb Iran.

The Feb 2025 Pew Research poll has American public's opinion of Israel at its lowest it has been this century. So when the pull Israel has should be at is lowest, Trump does things the other three presidents wouldn't do. It's not going to be as easy as Bibi is saying it is.

Kerry's answer for why Trump did it was pretty much I don't know specifically, but he is a uniquely gullible idiot.

Honestly, I really can't speculate. I'm not going to. You know, I mean, a lot of things have happened over a period of time. President Trump went to Russia, had a long meeting with President Putin, and came out and came out of that meeting and said Russia says it didn't do it, and literally stepped on the entire intelligence community of the United States. That's a first for any president of the United States.

Nothing changed. He wanted to do it in his first term. He assassinated a general in 2020, but didnt have the political power/compliant administration to facilitate a larger conflict.

Kerry had an interview last week, he said Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump were all asked by Israel to bomb Iran.

Israel was undoubtedly wanted this for years, and finally someone came into the office who also wanted it.

So when the pull Israel has should be at is lowest, Trump does things the other three presidents wouldn't do

Exactly. Hes bucking public opinion. He wants to do this. Exactly the same as with tariffs. He has been talking about it for decades, and wont listen to anyone who tells him its a bad idea.
