#2 A diplomatic storm: Self-inflicted PR damage complicates Israel's uphill battle

Nonsense. Jews CANNOT appease gentiles - trying only harms us.

#3 "I would vote for Donald Trump again, but this particular triangulation is shameful."

In the past, Trump has shown the willingness and the ability to self-correct.

If you don't like what Trump is doing, criticize him publicly, don't trust any 'plan.'

If Trump is a genius playing 4d chess he will have anticipated public criticism. If he's just wrong he deserves to be criticized.

#5 @4 Thank you, but I'm not that gentle, I'm quite concerned.

There's a very strong pro Qatar-Iran-Russia element present within the Trump 47 administration that didn't exist in the Trump 45 era.

Trump 45's policies were objectively detrimental to or indifferent to the interests of Qatar-Iran-Russia.

The woke right / Corbynized right / co-opted right was not a significant force back then, but it is now, probably in all Western nations.

#6 ^ I wouldn't agree that 47 is pro-axis as you've described it. I'd say reality-based to dissemble that axis

#7 Why the shift? Because the White House requested it
Want to bet there is a lot being hidden behind that statement?

We know the media will spin whatever happens in the worst possible way. Best to take talk of bad optics, waves of condemnation, and schisms between Trump and Netanyahu with a kilo of salt. Problems like the Paleos and Iran have been around for some time now and no one has made a dent in them until recently. Trump is the New Guy. Let's see what he's got.
