How do Israelis feel about Tulsi?
I have an acquaintance who is Israeli American, grew up in both Israel and the US, and was part of the Israeli Defense Force, and works for ie24 News, some Israeli news network.
When I brought up this Tulsi tweet against Hillary and laughed about it, he got annoyed.
Basically the way liberals questioned other liberal Trump supporters like "How can so possibly support that person!??!?"..that's kind of what he is like to me.
He said: "She's an Assadist". I was in no mood for a debate, but I casually said "I'd love to see proof, I can't find any, just smear articles" and then he links a newsweek smear article from two months ago...and I just say "Yeah I know that story read it in a bunch of places. There's a lot more to that story" and then he said "Then you understand why people call her a Russian stooge. How can you support someone so morally reprehensible?" and at that point I'm not gonna engage anymore. That's baity trolling there. He does't want an honest conversation he's just trying to prove himself right.
I just said "I just see it differently after doing a lot of research via podcasts and shows claim"
Then he sarcastically says "I too have seen the 'counter argument' on RT news" RT = Russian state progapanda.
The vibe I got from him was that he does not like anti-war candidates and sees them as isolationists who will let Russia take over the world.
