- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.)

If that president could read he'd be very upset
"betrayed the Israelis"... Why does America owe Israel anything?
My first Reddit ban was for attempting to ask that question in the most politically neutral way possible.
yeah, I'd also ask: what more could we give them that hasn't been given already? also, it just illustrates how there's no offramp, no future peace with this government - Bibi knows only perpetual war will keep him in power, and maybe out of jail, so they're all out for it and thought trump would be dumb enough to go even further.
it's pretty mind boggling. he is really dumb tho so...maybe they think they can neg him into it? fuck....
Trump is a dumb mother fucker but Israel has their own dumb mother fucker. The fact that he feels “betrayed” is quite telling about who wanted this shit in the first place.
What a stupid fucking article written by a stupid piece of shit. Any and every president could have been the greatest if they made the right decisions.
"You may"?
If the "enlightened" world is totally on board with genocide then we are so fucked.
I've never felt the need for the "we are not the same" meme before reading this .
Trump< /could/ have been the best president of all time!? By those standards, where literally anything is possible, it could have been a dismembered hand on a tek deck. Just as likely.
Ffs. For him to have become the best President of all time. He'd have to become a fundamentally new person with almost exclusively opposite traits.
Trump is such a massive fucking idiot he really could have been the greatest president if the media wasn't up their own ass with hate
Todays headline: "No president can figure out socialized health care. Obama tried but failed"
Tomorrows headline: "It would take a great president to solve Americas Healthcare crisis"
etc...
How can a US president betray "Israelis". He's not their president, and America is not their mommies. We owe them exactly nothing. They should get off our tit, and we'd like all the nuclear materials they stole from us returned immediately.
Without the large amount of material and monetary support America provides to keep Israel's military the strongest in the region, they would get steamrolled by their neighbors. Probably not immediately, but it would be inevitable. Note that I'm not saying anything about whether this is right or wrong from any ethical point of view in any direction, simply that it absolutely would happen. For whatever reason it has consistently been the policy of the American government not to let this happen.
Israel's very existence as a modern state has been, shall we say, deeply unpopular with its Arab neighbors literally since day one.
the reason is that its free surveillance on the rest of the region. USA wants to keep an eye on countries they seem hostile and their interests (oil).
They also give our surveillance state their surveillance tech and cyberweapons they developed using Palestinians as guinea pigs. They host our police departments and teach them how to treat our citizenry like Palestinians as well.
You could have been the greatest president of all
No, he couldn't have
You betrayed us, the Israelis.
I realize I don't necessarily speak for all of my fellow Americans when I say this, but I could not possibly care less if Israelis feel betrayed by Trump. He's not your president, it's not your government, go fuck yourselves.
But he is the President they paid for! Doesn't that count at least a bit?
I'm sorry but you're past the 90 day return policy. Best I can do is a discount on the next president you purchase.
Buy two presidents, get one governor free!
Do I ever have a deal for you!
You don't have to worry about your vote counting ever again! (Because it won't)
Do we tell them that he is the POTUS? Israeli interests should not be something we care about

How did Israel transition from a US base in the Middle East into the country that visibly holds the keys? Blackmail? Money? Religion? What the hell happened?
All of the above
I find myself asking this question more and more... But not just the US. How the fuck does Israel have so much power over so many countries. Like just look at the UK and how they're treating anyone even protesting for Palestine. It's insane how much power they have over so many countries... I just don't understand how.

Money. Politics is always all about money. Not ideals/virtues. Not borders. Not cultures. Not ideas. Not what the people need.
All of the above.

Israelis will blow wherever the wind blows. Don't let them convince you that they're totally checking anti drumpf progressives in November when suddenly every other D is taking their money. They will lie, cheat, and steal to keep the US-Zion Siphon going.
The headline would cause a middle schooler from the 2000's to die laughing.
That op-ed is from a different author, in a different newspaper, over a decade ago. Not sure what it proves other than "different Israelis have held contrasting political opinions at various points in time."
That's crazy! Next you'll try to tell us that there's a nation who has elected both Trump and Obama as president!
Well he betrayed Americans too and they still seem to love him.
I’d say most of us really don’t.
Sorry man. But EVERYTHING I've seen about Netanyahu is just BLOODLUST! They totally leveled Gaza and the Palestine territories they occupied.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
I used to be a trump and Israel supporter, but my God! How much blood thirst is enough?
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
When the orange Cheeto lost to Biden and approved the execution of Pence, ("so what") that was the end. This worthless sore loser POS was hell bent on mass destruction.
No dipshit, you don't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, or to put your name or image on passports, park passes, or $250 bills. No, stupid, we don't want or need to see your ugly mug or name on the Kennedy center or federal buildings.
Just go quietly, into that dark, nameless abyss you crawled out from.
You have made America a much worse place, you divisive fuck head!
- damn proud Reagan Republican
Glad you've seen reason
Trumpism is a direct result of Reaganism.
You're just not too bright, so I'll bite my tongue. But Trump has nothing to do with Reagan. Full stop.
Ad hominem is unnecessary, try to stay on topic.
Without Reaganomics we wouldn't have president Trump. Full Stop
damn proud Reagan Republican
WTF do you have to be proud of? That dementia ridden actor was the test run for Diaper Don.
Hey brainiac!
When Reagan was lying in the hospital after someone tried to kill him, most visitors were turned away. One of his first visitors was his good friend, speaker of the house, Tip O'Neil.
Reagan lit up when here saw his friend. Tip O'Neil knelt down and prayed for his friend and kissed him on the forehead.
People who take politics personally, jab the other side, and question their motives are straight up wack, haters. That's not sane.
Dude.
Reagan and Trump. No comparison.
I know.
I was there.
Well, the Lemmy folk were bound to be angry about the Regan pride.
But, any ally is an ally. Even old yuppies.
Just rewatch "They Live" and realize we are now living in the world where nothing changed and the wealthy (alien/human traitors/yuppies) won. That's why they are mad. Put the glasses on and get angry.
