    Oh hey look, Trump is trying to pull a stunt on Biden Harris 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.

      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.

      If that is what he’s trying, he should try it with someone else. America was pretty united on the hostage situation in 1980.
