If they allow Trump to run for president, I’ll vote for him. If I were running this country, I would nuke Iran before they nuke us. That means right this second. They are working as fast as they can to build nukes and promise to exterminate us constantly. The mullahs running Iran are willing to take a huge beating as long as they can annihilate Israel.
I don’t understand how stupid and willfully blind most Israelis are. I’m from the generation after the second world war that knew if you kill us, we will annihilate you. Imagine if missiles flew into Texas from Mexico, and the president didn’t order the military to destroy the perpetrators and their leadership immediately after being notified. How long could such a president remain in power? That’s not the situation here. The slogan in this country was Never Again after the Holocaust. What it means is it has to happen again until people say Never Again and then will forget. This cycle can’t go on. Iran will nuke us. It’s a little country the size of New Jersey. It will only take a few nukes to achieve their aims. The world doesn’t understand that the global economy will be wrecked when in the aftershock the price of oil triples. America was energy independent under Trump despite whatever environmental damage was caused. That can reoccur.
I have thought for 15 years America should stop giving aid money to Israel. It’s probably more now, but it was 3 billion dollars some years ago. 1.2 billion for interest repayments and 1.8 billion going to American arms manufacturers. The American taxpayer should demand it stop immediately.
The top Israeli military command after the massacres still thought they should try and deliver a blow to Hamas that would make them reconsider attacking Israel again in the future. They are fat and live plush lives. They can’t be replaced now but have to go.
Radical Moslems, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERY MOSLEM BUT A LOT OF THE ISLAMIC POPULATION want to take over the world. If it takes 1,000 years so what? They believe that killing for Allah gets them an eternal reward. If they die they get a reward better than the immediate joy of killing Jews. For Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian leadership, there are no innocent victims. If a Moslem dies in an attack by them, the person is a martyr and earns eternal reward. They win even if they’re all killed. I usually post references. Not now. Check it out on your own.
There’s no reason that America has to support Israel if its not in its interests. If we here are unwilling to stand up for our survival and annihilate our enemies who have the same ideology as Nazis that every Jew has to be killed, we don’t deserve to survive. Years ago, another expatriate American who had been living here for 50 years told me the Israeli people is at its best when it realizes it has no choice but to do whatever it takes to survive despite international threats. This country isn’t close to that yet. Cutting off all American aid money might move the country in that direction, but it won’t be enough. Too many people here survive on fantasies that God will protect us, or the slogan “It will be OK,” meaning we’ll get by somehow. Israel has to realize that there will be no outside help, and that we’re on our own. If we can’t annihilate our enemies before they do it to us, we don’t deserve to survive.
