Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    And those protest votes told the campaign this would happen and they didn’t alter course. At what point is it the fault of the playmakers?

    Protest votes knew the score. Slow genocide with Kamala, fast genocide with trump. And they put it on the line to say “either no genocide or you lose” and the Dems couldn’t say that.

    Think about that. The Democrats were very clearly told via the uncommitted movement that “if you support genocide, you will lose” and the Dems could not, under literal threat of death, say they won’t support a genocide in Israel.

    Like, I voted Kamala as a hopeful lesser of two evils vote. But seeing people like you come out here and throw the genocide of palastinians in the face of those who care the most about it because your party didn’t do what it knew it had to do is fucking disgusting.

    Actually abhorrent. Hold the leadership accountable. Hold Kamala accountable. They ran the god damn election. They wrote the god damn plan, and never in my life have I seen an electorate communicate it’s demands so clearly and directly. They were ignored, so they ignored the Dems.

    Wheres your fucking spine? Why is it so hard for you to criticize your own party, concrete people with positions in this shit making decisions rather than the vague “protest voter”
