    And just yesterday…

    https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-i-call-the-shots-trump-says-netanyahu-will-have-no-choice-but-to-accept-whatever-deal-us-makes-with-iran

    “‘I call the shots:’ Trump says Netanyahu will have ‘no choice’ but to accept whatever deal US makes with Iran”

    I hope the folks who continued to argue that Biden or Harris could have stopped Netanyahu are paying attention…

      I don’t think Biden or Harris could have stopped Netanyahu. I do think they wouldn’t have joined in on attacking Iran, getting us into this quagmire.

        Agreed, but we know that republicans would have been crowing how Trump wouldn’t have allowed this to happen if he lost the last election, so it’s only fair to run their own play against them now.

        Cutting off supplies of weapons and ammunition would go a long way. I don’t think Biden would have, but Harris might have done so under the Lehey(sp?) Act

          It was the only thing she really had to do in order to secure a victory and she flat-out refused. Also, she could have spent less time with Liz Cheney and tanking all the momentum she had gotten in the summer.

        (WHOOSH)

        The point is, Netanyahu doesn’t give two shits what the US says or does, regardless who is in power.

          Tbf, if congress turned against Israel he’d have to, but that’s what they’ve got AIPAC and Adjacent pacs for.

          Because you are fool who believe that israel control the usa. No, most america president are just acting like they are powerless when they have the power . Netanyahu refused at first the oslo accords and was forced to accept it because he was thretened with concrete actions. Yitzhak Rabin cancelled those 6,600 settlement homes becsuse HW Bush freezed 10 billions of dollars to israel there is many other example of Israel listened to the master

            Ahhhh… the days before AIPAC!

            https://legis1.com/news/susan-collins-2026-senate-race-the-money-behind

            “The single most notable funding source in Collins’ campaign is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC bundled more than $538,000 from 315 individual donors in a recent filing period, according to the Bangor Daily News, and accounted for nearly 20 percent of all money Collins raised in 2025, per Zeteo. Cumulative AIPAC contributions to Collins over her career have been reported at approximately $647,000.”

              Aipac existed during oslo accords and when bush freezed 10 billions of dollars from Israel.

              Aipac is fully funded with american zionists, politician willfully take thr money, americans willfully voted for them for decades. You can’t whitewash american responsibility from the top to the bottom.

                  You know it is bullshit but you still want to suck the usa dick and making excuses for it’s imperialism actions. Like i said aipac is funded by americans, politicians willfully accepted it’s money and americans voted for those candidates. The usa can destroy israel economically. Israel can’t.

                    Not making excuses for anything, I’m flat out telling you Netanyahu is going to Netanyahu and it doesn’t matter who is running the United States or what they say.

                    He made a fool of Biden, he’s making a fool of Trump, and it will continue unless someone steps in militarily, arrests him, and hauls his ass before a tribunal in the Hague.

                    Nobody is willing to DO that because of AIPAC money.
