Current Events > Would Trump provide unequivocal support and aid to Israel?

(+) Yeah! (+)

He openly dislikes, criticizes and has a grievance against Netanyahu (dude even praised hezbollah militants as "very smart")

Is there a world where his personal beef with Bibi would have caused him to respond better to the situation than the Biden Administration, even if it were for the wrong reasons?

and pass up the chance to bomb brown people? no way

I doubt it, even if Trump himself was strongly against whats happening the rest of the government entirely seems to be bending the knee to them.

So the situation would likely have been the same regardless.

White Supremacism has made strange bedfellows with the far right of Israel for a long time now.

Talking about Trump and Israel is a bit strange because Trump isn't getting the same out of the country that every other right winger is. He doesn't believe in any of the end times crap.

What would attract Trump to Israel would be both the expectations of his evangelical followers (Which is to say, Trump wants to be checking off the same list of absolute support items for Israel just to make them happy) and the ego boost he gets from settlers and other crazies in Israel naming shit after him for supporting their lunacy.

It isn't that odd when you consider the entire reason that Israel even exists is because of Christians wanting it to.

They only reason for this is because Netanyahu didn't support his Jan 6 coup and accepted Biden's victory.

If Trump were president he probably would have bombed Gaza before Netanyahu even had a chance. He literally tried to start a war with Iran only because he was upset that he wasn't viewed as a war time president and he thought that would improve his polling.

Trump does not believe in unequivocal support for anyone except himself.

It's actually hard to say.
On one hand, his core supporters would want him to. And Saudi Arabia hates Iran and he's buddies w/ MBS.
But on the other hand, he never has had qualms w/ pissing off his core supporters and is Putin's puppet, and Putin is firmly on the Iran/Hamas side now.
He might actually be less supportive of Israel than Biden.... Guess it really comes down to which country he's more indebted and compromised to.... Saudi Arabia or Russia? I assume Russia, but given how their economy is tanking and the sweetheart deals his family has and can get in the future w/ SA... If he did side w/ Putin and Hamas, it proves the pee pee tapes are real, I suppose.

"This money, after it's spent enough time in my pocket, will surely go to Israel at some point."
