Irony? I think so.

My wife has a few Jewish friends who are considering voting Trump. These are women who were adamantly against Trump 8 years ago, mainly on the abortion and Trump’s attitude toward women. They clearly see Trump as bad (or even evil), yet are still considering voting for him. Why? Because they fear the world as antisemitic, feel Trump will be tougher against antisemitism, tougher against terrorism, and give Israel more support. But the big issue is Trump does not push for a two-state solution.

And these are people who 9 months ago were wondering how Gazans voted in Hamas.

Irony? I see it.

If you don’t, well Gazans were raised in an environment where Israel controlled their lives. Most of them know Hamas are corrupt terrorists, yet voted for them anyway because they felt Hamas was the best choice for standing up to Israeli aggression. And Hamas was against a two-state solution.

@Bumbles yes. Especially considering the status quo is unlikely to be much different under Trump. 90% of this is Harris/Biden’s support for a two-state solution. It’s like they don’t know the official US position has been a two-state solution for decades, and nothing has changed. I am not sure what other solution they want.

@trollslayer Trump was antisemitic at a conference against antisemitism! Blaming the Jews?! Good Lord.
