@middleeasteye: David Hearst, editor in chief of Middle East Eye, says that Israel’s pro-government commentariat has turned sharply on Donald Trump, the same US president once celebrated for recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, recognising Israel’s annexation of the occupied Golan Heights and standing fully behind Israel’s war on Gaza. Hearst says Trump attacked Iran on Netanyahu’s bidding, making him one of the most suggestible US presidents Israel has ever dealt with. Yet after Trump moved towards a deal with Iran, voices close to Netanyahu branded him a loser, accused him of surrendering, and compared Vice President JD Vance to Neville Chamberlain. He says Israel is now experiencing “the shock of a settler colony” that has lost control of its parent power. That shock, combined with Gaza, Iran, Syria and Lebanon, is having a toxic effect on US public opinion. Polling shows support for Israel falling sharply, including among young Republicans and Democrats. Hearst notes that Palestine has moved from the political margins into the mainstream in the US. Candidates critical of Israel have defeated Aipac-backed opponents, and even parts of the American right are beginning to see Israel as a liability rather than an asset. He concludes that the Israeli lobby will fight back hard. But the more support for Israel becomes an act of force rather than an article of faith, the deeper the trouble Zionism faces in America.

I wonder how Trump's hacker team got back or deleted the media of trump with little kids from Mossad. He wouldn't have went off leash otherwise.

Never before has education in history been so important to the world. Education is everything and everything you thought you knew or believed in can suddenly change with the truth! Zionists are evil snd Palestinians have been robbed their for decades! The world has been blind until now. The truth is coming out and new generations of people will not tolerate them!
