    any bad word about Israel and you're anti-semitic...not wanting to fight their wars makes u anti-semitic...not wanting to destroy free speech in this country on behalf of Israel makes u anti-semitic

    it's really a joke atp

    How we just allow a foreign government to have this much control over us is beyond me.

    Now we're biblically commanded to simp for Israel. Are u kidding me?

    I'm surprised we don't do the Israeli National Anthem at sporting events

    This is the line of thinking that, I expect, will shift evangelical support for war with Iran. They're obsessed with Israel and have no ability to distinguish between an ancient tribe in the desert and a modern parliamentary government that recently held five elections in three years. They give Israel a blank check no matter what because they believe its existence is a requirement for Jesus to return to earth. Never mind that they think many of the Jews living there will be eternally damned; it's all a giant Rube Goldberg machine of inconsistent logic to them.

    My father in law, who attends a very evangelical church, told us that their worship last Sunday was interrupted by a parishioner who implored the congregation to "pray for Israel". This was two days after the first air strikes. Now that the party apparatus is working overtime to solidify a narrative I imagine that tons of churches across America will hear very solidly pro-Israel sermons this week.

    Do you want to guess how many times they've stopped church to pray for women and children in Gaza?

    Any two-state solution in case of Israel and Palestine is not going to happen after what just transpired, a genocide. The most realistic solution: USA takes in the Zionists and Jews who do not want to live in Palestine, creates Israel on their own land as they should’ve after WW2 and Palestine goes back to its original borders and name with full acknowledgement. Any of this Hamas terrorist talk is all nonsense since Israel funded it and put them in power. Palestinians in no shape or form will nor should they accept the existence of Israel on their land. They likely will be forced to accept, but they shouldn’t.

    that Cruz interview can’t be real, I refuse to believe he signed up for that discussion and agreed to be embarrassed that way. Sycophants like him never debate the topic because it’s illogical, they’ll tow a gray line and say the interests are alligned…but to say Bibi was anointed by god and can do no wrong?! You can’t worship a foreign country over your own. This is worse than being cucked by Trump when he called his wife a disgusting looking hag

    it’s one of the greatest ownages and embarrassments I’ve ever seen, he’s stuttering and saying the most asinine things the whole time. I’m sure Tucker is a smart dude, but Cruz made him look like Socrates. Taking the side advocating for treason as a US senator isn’t exactly smart

    Excellent analysis. Ironic bc Hamas probably attacked Israel as proxy of Iran to break up the Israel<>Saudi talks. I hate war but at this point I could see the benefits outweighing the costs for US to drop some bunker busters

    Drop bunker buster and then what? What's your long term play here? You wont throw out the current government unless you send troops on the ground. What's the goal here? We're going endlessly bomb another country and piss off their population to hate us more? We're going sway more countries to the side of China and accomplish what?

    You have no plan other than "drop bombs!" Its such an American thinking. No long term strategy

    the ideal scenario is busting up irans ability to enrich uranium and then negotiate after for a sustainable long term peace plan. I’m not saying that’s a lock but that’s what you’d hope for.

    the risk if Iran decides to retaliate if we bomb them and kills us soldiers. If that happens then we’re dragged into a full on war unless Trump backs down which would be a major surprise

    Abbot would've gotten equally embarrassed, all of them actually. But since when is Tucker against his fellows?

    Tucker is in Russia's pocket. Russia is Iran's largest ally. Cruz and the current MAGA machine are pro-Israel, which goes against Russia's best interests. Ipso facto Comrade Tuck is challenging Trump and cronies on this conflict now.

    How did you watch that and conclude that from the questions he was asking. What Ted said was absolutely indefensible, you have to be incredibly brainwashed to watch a man confess to treason and then pull a russiagate on the guy exposing him

    I would guess by this time next month we are either in Iraq War II (Dementia Don in a flight suite proclaiming Mission Accomplished) or worst case WWI, pt 3.

    If there really is a hell, I hope it is filled with these evangelical types.

    We’re already in WW3. Global conflict and stockpiling for Armageddon is occurring. It’s being fought with the sophistication of the 21st C which is why it isn’t apparent

    Who makes the determination that Iran cant enrich uranium for civilian purposes? If Iran wants a nuclear power plant for energy purposes then we just bomb to shreds? Israel can have nukes but Iran cant enrich uranium for civilian purposes ?

    Iran already agreed not to develop nuclear weapons and was ready to agree to Trumps plan before Israel bombed them. It was trump that moved the goal posts at the last minute.

    The global south is running towards China cuz none of these artificial rules the West put into place makes any sense.

    It's all a bunch of bullshit. Why cant Iran develop nuclear power plants for cheap energy but Saudis can? Saudis were the ones behind 9/11
