Why?
To have Israeli Intelligence dig up dirt on Harris?
ding ding ding
Compare Vlad tats.
Maybe he’s gonna ask for the “genocide” moniker since Joe is done with it.
So Trump acting as a foreign agent? Again?
Netter just deported a ton of people from Gaza, time to act like trunp de-escalated the war and Netty will call for a seize fire gets to take the land back while everyone is deported.
Oh hey look, Trump is trying to pull a stunt on
BidenHarris like Reagan pulled on Carter with the Iranian hostages back in '80.I kinda have a suspicion that he was already doing this. Even if Trump wasn’t working with Netanyahu before, Netanyahu clearly prefers Trump, and Biden was playing into his hands.
But Harris isn’t president and isn’t in a position to help Netanyahu with his genocide.
This reads to me like Trump and Netanyahu are meeting to see how to change their strategy to get Trump elected.
Dictators seem to like one another
Yeah, fuck this guy. Isreal, can you do something about him?
If that is what he’s trying, he should try it with someone else. America was pretty united on the hostage situation in 1980.
Of course you’re right, but this time America-- significantly, the part that votes Democratic-- is pretty divided over it and that plays to Trump’s strength. By agreeing to keep the war going until next year, Bibi can accomplish at least two things simultaneously. First, it keeps the Democratic base divided between supporting the Israeli state vs doing anything substantive about the death, destruction and genocide occurring in Gaza. Any Democratic candidate that takes a stance against the war publicly will suddenly find their opponent very well funded. Meanwhile a key bloc of voters remains alienated by the party’s policy. It’s a heavy albatross hung about the necks of the Democrats. Harris has to campaign with that as a backdrop, and of course the Republicans will make hay over it.
Second, if and once Trump back is in office then Israel will be free to roll through Gaza and perhaps even the West Bank, completely wiping out any chance of a Palestinian state. The war ends, and Trump gets to say he resolved the conflict, which means “he won.”
So, yes. Different than 1980, but not really. All Republican dirty tricks-- and violations of the Logan Act-- to muddy up an election for fun and profit.
I’ve been saying this. Netanyahu is going to keep the war going until after the election, hoping the bad press drains support from the democratic candidate. Netanyahu would rather see Trump in office anyway. If you’re still blaming the war going on in Gaza on the democrats, just wait until Trump gets in office and gives his support for the total and permanent occupation of Gaza. You’re behaving just as Netanyahu wants you to by not voting for the democrat in November.
This should not be allowed. Trump is a private citizen and does not work for our government. He has no business meeting with foreign leaders about anything.
I think you are referring to the Logan Act
Unfortunately, Israel isn’t having a dispute with the US government.
They can’t meet as friends?
If a world leader has enough free time to fly to another hemisphere for lunch, maybe they aren’t doing a great job leading their country?
Funny how these shit-birds flock together, isn’t it?
A guy can’t even take a lunch break in peace without being accused of conspiracy, ffs. Maybe he had some overtime hours to compensate?
Lmao, you serious?
Of course not, fuck that guy
My guy, you were defending the dickbag…
Sorry it was an attempt at humour.
Ah my bad, misread that
It is, in fact, a felony.
They’re going to watch some old Epstein videos of Trump together
Well Mossad were behind the whole island thing, so makes sense.
Isn’t there an arrest warrant out for Netty-boo?
It’d be an awful shame if he didn’t make that meeting. Alternatively, revoke his visa and/or deny him entrance.
He’s not here on diplomatic stuff, if he’s meeting with Trump, so he probably needs a visa.
The US does not recognize the International Criminal Court in The Hague. In fact, the US has given itself the legal right to invade The Hague in case they ever charge a US citizen or one of their allies.
We don’t necessarily have to respect the warrant.
Netanyahu is meeting with Trump to interfere in the US elections. There is no legitimate diplomatic reason for him to do that.
Revoke his visa and order him to leave the country; when he refuses… put him on a plane. For somewhere in the SCC.
Going to advise him on how to “finish the job?”
It’s for that guy there is a question on the USA visa application form. :
Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide? ☐
I’m sure he ticked yes, but they still let him in.
