Yup. Unforced error by Israel. They had a great, great ally and they just rushed out to immediately kiss the ass of the new president he hates them. Why?
Trump has learned - as so many Republicans have failed to learn - that Israel always looks out for #1. It is how they survive in a bad neighborhood, but it severely limits their utility as an ally.
Yeah, I agree, even though I like Netanyahu.
Those last couple of lines though. That’s some pretty bold talk that won’t sit well with the people of Israel.
Unless Axios can produce audio I’ll file this under bullsh*t with most of the crap coming from The Hill.
No doubt Trump is sore at Netanyahu but I believe the “eff him” was thrown in by the reporter for effect.
IF this is a correct statement from Trump....
....it’s always according to.....someone else
I would want this verified
Once Israel realized that they had no choice but to deal with 4 more years (at least) of a Jew-hating party in office in the US, they really had no choice but to try to make the best of it. As someone else here has said - that is how they survive.
Apparently, this wasn’t a public comment, just DJT (allegedly) expressing his frustration in private. It’s not surprising that Trump (or anyone else in his position) would say that — and not really surprising that Netanyahu would do that. If you get elected because people don’t trust politicians, don’t trust politicians.
I guess some folks haven’t figured out what DJT is made of, you mess with the bull and you get the horns.
Bibi waited a long time to congratulate Biden. Many other countries did it faster. Still, pdjt is correct that the election was obviously stolen. So, I empathize with him. Whether he really should have told Bibi to GTH now? Imho, no. Unfair to singly Bibi out from the crowd for such insult. But again, the damned election was a farce and pdjt is right to be upset from it. I’m upset from it too
Of course, Trump is right. Again.
Bibi backed the stolen election. F’ Bibi.
‘—— him’

He has made a terrible mistake

Axios is reprobate imho.
Netanyahu had to make a tough call about the election.
Israel would be in grave danger without the USA.
Failure to congratulate Biden would have been interpreted as support for the Trump election fraud narrative.
Trump can’t keep allies or friends.
Trump has a problem with trusting people and over valuing success and credentials…IMHO.
I love him though.
Netanyahu probably didn’t realize that he was actually congratulating Obama’s theft of the election.
The UK, France, Germany, Japan, many others had also called Biden. I don’t know what Trump expected from Bibi. Immature comment beneath his dignity.
As they say.....”Honey badger don’t give a sxxx”. The swamp hates it. The media lies and manipulates it. Society either likes it or gets weary of it. Politicians need to have an element of likability while at times need to be honey badgers. Again media is untrustworthy.
The vast majority of Israelis never knew Mosha Dian like Joe Biden wants them to.
