Good thing I just purchased a 50 lb bag of popcorn! This is getting very interesting.
It sure fits with the Biden corruption.
The only way to stop it is to overthrow their Supreme Court and that’s not going to happen. The court has abrogated to itself supreme power, including the power to choose their own successors
I have read in other articles the Israeli courts are a power unto themselves, perhaps like is now attempted by US district judges.
Just in: The Pentagon moved 6 B-2 stealth bombers to the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia in massive show of force to Houthis and Iran. Maybe Trump just wants to personally tell a disconsolate Netanyahu that the US has his back? Poor Bibi’s reelection plans look kinda wobbly after his recent disastrous WH visit.
Israel even says its gonna “attack Iran”——anything to help get poor Bibi out of the doldrums.
Mmmmm, just an-oth-er extremely astute, well-thought out Israeli political strategy:
<><>US taxpayers supply all of Israel’s economic and humanitarian, financing
<><>plus acres and acres and acres of armaments;
<><>and glory be.....lucky us get to be involved in all their wars
<><>in return we get all their enemies and assorted problems,
<><>as a bonus, future American generations get to inherit Israel’s enemies and their debts,
<><>while Israel gets to be a world leader.....unencumbered.
So brilliant.....could even catch on worldwide.
The savvy Middle East has a tried and true formula to get USAID tax dollars.....uttering the word “peace” at regular intervals. “Peace” in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years........there’s a huge price tag on “peace,” with the US taxpayer gamely trying to meet the latest “peace price.”
Netanyahu to Trump: “Can you top this?”
<><>Biden blanketed Israel w/ $17.9 billion peace-keeping tax dollars in the 2024 election year alone, bragging, “Nobody has done more for Israeli peace than I have.”
<><>Rubio just gave Israel $4 billion tax dollars, over and above Israel’s annual US billions.
Besides peace-making weaponry, Israel also receives peace-keeping economic and humanitarian US tax dollars in USAID, which supports broad peaceful economic development and socio-political stability and can include peaceable non-military US support related to the country’s pressing peace needs.
Nice.
Israel announced its biggest trading partner is the European Union (EU), followed by China. China is a major trading partner for Israel, particularly in terms of imports. In 2023, China accounted for 17.7% of Israel’s imports, with total trade value reaching a whopping $24.45 billion.
Israel’s largest trading partner, the EU, accounts for a significant portion of its trade in goods. Other Notable trading partners for Israel include Turkey,
India, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Netherlands.
Israel’s main exports are:
<><>cut and uncut diamonds,
<><>pearls and other precious metals and stones (33% of total exports);
<><>electrical machinery and equipment,
<><>mechanical machinery and appliances,
<><>sound and TV recorders and reproducers
<><>computer equipment (22 percent)
<><>and chemical products (11 percent).
Israel listed its main export partners: United States 26.4% European Union 22.7% China 7.19% Palestinian territories 5.98% United Kingdom 4.13% India 3.99% Turkey 3.03% (2022)
Israel’s imports: $108.26 billion (2019 est)
China would have a lot more difficulty developing it’s military aerospace and weaponry capabilities without “Israeli technology” .....technology Israel gets from the US...... funded w/ US tax dollars which Israel sells to China. This tech transfer is being encouraged by the same clandestine American-China lobby selling out America to the Chinese for personal gain.
Israel got over $18 billion USAID tax dollars in 2024, the bulk of which is spent on expansion of the Israeli military and tech sectors and the very thing for which the billions were not intended-——increasing the selling of US-shared technology to China. Even worse is Israel’s use of USAID to transfer that technology to China under the guise of “trade.”
The absurdity is that Israel’s economic clout is based solely on the good will of American taxpayers, but when it comes to technology development to China, it advances Israel’s fantasy of being a world leader, despite imperiling the safety and security of American families.
another moron here on FR exposes themselves as a clueless idiot
Where do we get these obsessive mideast lamebrains?
They need professional help .....at least get someone to explain what “America First” means.
The day Americans are prevented from defending their country is a sad, sad day.
The posts by Liz offer a lot of useful information. You can argue about the interpretation, but the facts are there.
so what on earth does posting about Israeli international trade have to do with the headline of the article.
I’ve noticed most of these “American Firsters” are incredibly ignorant about the situation here on the ground in Israel
(yes, that is where i live and typed this from)

Nice to see some posters have excellent critical thinking skills.
The Iranian regime has been at war with the US since 1979, seizing diplomats, backing terrorist groups that have killed hundreds of Americans and US service personnel.
So Netanyahu has done more than all US administrations in 45 years to set back the mullahs in Teheran, and all you can do is make idiotic comments about how the US is being snookered by the Israelis.
Meanwhile, Trump looks weak for having backed down from his pledge to eliminate Iran's nuclear program, effectively snatching defeat from the jaws of a victory placed in his lap by the Israelis.
The US government's capacity under both parties to make an endless series of boneheaded moves like this one are why the US never has permanent success in the Mideast.
The US government being inveigled into over-compensating and over-arming Israel has led to a
US-dependent Israel and its relentless braggadocio about its activities to “create enemies” at will.
This the distinctive reason why the US will never be
seen as a reliable diplomatic partner in the Mideast.
The absurdity is that Israel’s vaunted economic clout is based solely on the good will of American taxpayers, but when it comes to selling US-shared military technology development to treacherous China, it advances Israel’s fantasy of being a world leader, despite imperiling the safety and security of American families.
when you throw in stupid comments like it proves beyond any doubt that you are a dithering dolt
“Maybe Trump just wants to personally tell a disconsolate Netanyahu “
“Poor Bibi’s reelection plans look kinda wobbly after his recent disastrous WH visit.”
“anything to help get poor Bibi out of the doldrums.”
The typical Adderall dosage starts at 10 mg once daily.
Your daily dose can be increased by 10 mg every week if needed.
actually her posts on Israel are full of misinformation...but if that misinformation is useful to you, then so be it.
i’ve read through her comments about Israel....she links to arab news sources as her backup......thats like using the NY Times to accurate info about Trump.......
the one good thing about Israel is that it helps expose what side of the good-evil fence one belongs to.
Lawlessness is the goal!
Who knew?
You post on these threads and you get stalked.....and covertly surveiled.
Careful what you post, you could get on a 1940’s type unAmerican “mideast blacklist.”
The obsessives even name names.
Its hell in the mideast.
