#2 With all the billions we give to them...that's supposed to give us influence over their government.

And then they just crap on us. Why do we still give them money? Cut them off, maybe they'll get the idea.

I agree completely. It’s long past time to stop giving the Palestinians anything more than the back of our hand.

#4 Russia or China would welcome Israel as an ally with open arms. If Biden betrays Israel the US will lose the ME.

#5 Russia or China would welcome Israel as an ally with open arms.

I disagree, Walking Unvaxxed. China’s TikTok is deliberately the most antisemitic popular app on the internet. They’ve clearly decided to cultivate the Muslim world instead of the Innovation Nation, now that Haifa port is no longer available.

As for Russia, Syria and the PLO are traditional Soviet clients, while Iran is a current arms supplier — much more important to Russia’s interests than cultivating the sentimental Jewish former Soviet emigrants in Israel may have to the Motherland.

#6 #4,5 It's a lot more complicated.
(a) China is not antisemitic - how can they be if for Chinese you're either Chinese or a monkey. And they don't really distinguish between Arian and Jewish monkeys.
(b) The current Russian leadership is, probably, the most pragmatic in their history. In particular, they remember that Soviet Union became bankrupt through being too generous with their third world allies.
Both are anti-Israel because Israel is an ally of USA and both view USA as an irrational geo-political player. But they're, sorta, lukewarm about it.
On the other hand, Israel is not about to break American alliance despite openly anti-Semitism of USA upper classes.
Most importantly, this is not a war between Israel and Arabs in general. Arabs are just as tired of "Palestinians" as everybody else. They just want it to be Israel's and not their problem - big mistake!
