Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

    In response to OPs question. I am really wondering if this the point at which the US, especially under Trump, plays the “blame the Jews” card.

    We’ve been watching the right wing shift towards anti Israel views. The tucker Carlson crowd etc.

    Maybe Trump is too demented. But, I feel like his defining characteristic is to be good at “reading the room”.

    I just don’t know where it goes with the evangelical Christians that think this needs to happen to bring back Jesus. That’s literally the 20% of people that always agree with Trump. But, honestly, at this point. I think they will follow Trump and the pastors will give them a reason to hate the “the Jews”.

    I just don’t see how Trump gets out of this otherwise.

      They (bipartisan USA plus UK, Germany and so on) have zero scruples right now about persecuting the antizionist Jews for opposition against Israel, so when the cannibalising of vassals finally hits Israel they will immediately drop all the pretense and go openly antisemitic.

      they will 100% turn against Jews, even all those “I love Israel apartheid and genocide, if you’re against it, you’re antisemitic and hate jews”
