I think it's a reaction to the fact that weapons shipments weren't hampered going to Israel. What people fail to understand is that it was a no-win scenario.

The weapons get cut - The undecideds come out in droves against Harris

Harris stays the course - The Muslim population doesn't vote for her.

If those voters think that Trump will just come down on Bibi like a ton of bricks, well...

I've got some PRIMO oceanfront property in Wyoming that I'll let go for a SONG.

Pretty much all the polls I'v seen had potential Dem voters vastly in favour of putting more pressure on the Israelis and making commitments to do this. To me this is a non argument when the reality is they carried on propping up genocide because they and their backers wanted to, same way Harris offered so little generally, the few progressive ideas which did come out quickly got sat on.

For all the rhetoric against Trump I think the reality is it mostly an election tactic by the Dem establishment, in reality there actually much happier with Trump in the Whitehouse than they would be having to shift in a progressive direction and espically having cut back on support for the Israeli's genocide.

You saw the same in the recent French elections, Macron's campaigning was focused mostly on voting for his party to keep out the far right yet when the left actually won the most seats what did he do? totally cut them out of power and instead worked with the far right.

Protesters have been hosed down by police on the streets of Tel Aviv during mass demonstrations, which have broken out across Israel in response to the controversial sacking of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.


Footage posted across social media showed protesters lighting fires, blocking traffic and clashing with police across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and Caesarea.
