correction: Nobody who campaigned against him.

Tell me a few hundred more times. I'll continue to reply to anyone whenever it suits me. That said, if you think I read 10% of your posts, you are delusional.

Netanyahu has been preaching divide and conquer for almost a generation. It doesn't get much more hateful than that.

So it would stand to reason that if Trump had wholeheartedly endorsed getting vaccinated against COVID-19, members of his base would have been trampling one another to get a shot the moment they were available, as if the jabs were deeply discounted 62-inch flat-screen TVs on Black Friday. Of course Trump chose not to do that. Instead, he got his vaccine in secret, and since leaving office in January has refused to do anything more than say during random interviews that he “would recommend” getting inoculated before quickly changing the subject; earlier this month, the Daily Beast reported that “despite pleas from multiple friends and advisers,” he’s repeatedly rebuffed the idea of mounting “anything resembling a real effort to get his supporters vaccinated,” as it would be helping Joe Biden. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/08/donald-trump-vaccines-booed

Of course the Palestinians are incapable of forming their own opinions in the way Israelis can. Utterly racist stereotyping.

define plenty as a percentage of the population.

Trump failed to tell anyone he'd received the vaccination at first. Biden never mandated the vaccine, he just recommended it instead of fostering a cult following around antivax conspiracy theories. There's a difference between recommending that everyone get vaccines and mandating them.

Evidently some Israelis must have taught themselves if the schools didn't.

I agree. Trump chose Pence because he needed the bible vote. He just miscalculated on Pence's willingness to break the law. Trump still needs the bible vote. Look for him choosing a Trumpian evangelist. Certainly nobody who voted against him. Other than that, he might choose Leonard Leo or anyone he nominates because of the essential fund raising aspect.

And the MAGA cult is still locked into defending Trump's covid failure, resulting in many continuing deaths. One only need look at the death rate for the unvaccinated compared to those vaccinated and where those people lived against a map of registered voters for each party. Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic's effects on those two states say that from the pandemic's start in March 2020 through December 2021, "excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before." More specifically, the researchers say, their adjusted analysis found that "the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters" after vaccine eligibility was opened. The different rates "were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio," https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study

"This was a spectacular failure, one of the greatest in all American politics," Karl said. "DeSantis, if you go back to about a year ago, was actually beating Donald Trump... He spent some $150 million, if you count the money from his super PAC, and he did nothing but go down and down and down." https://www.rawstory.com/trump-dementia-2667028161/

Prime minister for most of the last 15 years, Netanyahu has been an enabler of Hamas, building up the organisation, letting it rule Gaza unhindered – save for brief, periodic military operations against it – and allowing funds from its Gulf patrons to keep it flush. None of this was a secret. In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/20/benjamin-netanyahu-hamas-israel-prime-minister

I agree but for many returning to Australia to collect the pension this solution might be out of reach. A couple of years ago campervans were selling for outrageous prices.

What's different now? He opposed trump. He failed in his presidential primary. His fight with Disney and anti woke crusade extending to banning books has not done him any favors.

Removing 2 million people from the Gaza strip and failing to allow them back or failing to rebuild the infrastructure would be prima facie genocide.

They can't grasp the concept of not being a team player.

You suggested I was only posting for your sake.

Don't stop me from taking an opportunity to demonstrate that both sides are at fault.

From your link She was speaking after a poll by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 75 percent of Jewish Israelis think the country should ignore mounting pressure from the United States to wind down the war in Gaza. And another poll by Gallup recently showed that 65 percent oppose the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. This hardening of Israeli opinion regarding a two-state solution is in lockstep with clear signs that the October 7 attacks will tilt the country further right, dominated in its vanguard by the ideas of West Bank settlers who want Israel to have the footprint of all the biblical lands of the Jews.

Yes, but here's the thing. If you explained yoursaelf instead of just posting innuendo people might get your point.

You really have a problem with English comprehension. I utterly fail to see any contradiction in those two posts. Please refrain from an attack on me and explain precisely how they do contradict. BIG CLUE. I think there are extremists on both sides. Explain how that notion isn't consistent with what I wrote.
