Another State Department official told HuffPost: “This is a pivotal moment in history, and we should feel angry about how Netanyahu has literally put our reputation on fire to advance his personal political agenda. The collateral effects to American security are extremely consequential.” Yep!
U.S. officials surprised/dismayed to find that backing Netanyahu to the hilt isn't gaining them much influence over the conduct of the war - reporting from @akbarshahidahmed.bsky.social www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...
Officials are worried Israel is seeking U.S. weapons for a war in Lebanon, and analysts say an uptick in attacks tied to Iran risks ensnaring the U.S. in a major conflict.
Not unusual for him, Bibi also managed to anger the former guy.
Moshe Dayan said, “Our American friends offer us money, arms and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.” Nothing has changed.
I am astounded at the American anti-Trump factions who don't see the parallel.
“why won’t he think about how this affects meeeeeeeeeee?!”
Why did we believe Netanyahu would do otherwise? And why do we continue to let him do it? The only possible is that it keeps some small amount of aid getting to Gaza.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to get played by Netanyahu? He's never made his intentions a secret.
Gee. Who could have guessed that supporting a genocidal regime would be “politically difficult”? smh
Oh, you mean you had another "failure of imagination"?
Literally everything in Netanyahu's personal and political history (to the extent those things can even be separated) says this is the road he's going to go down. He has no concept of what a reputation is or why it's important.
Shocker
