The GOP and Trump are criticizing Biden for causing the Palestinian attacks, as Biden claims they are spreading disinformation:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/07/assault-israel-fuels-political-attacks-us-presidential-race/
Trump and other Republican presidential contenders sought to blame Bidens policies, while the presidents aides accused opponents of spreading misinformation
While Trump claims to fully support Israel, what he has really supported during his former presidency was the rise of the right-wing, autocratic, anti-democratic factions that have obtained greater control within Israel's government. This has led to an anti-pluralistic, anti-judicial bent with obvious repercussions.
While Trump touts the "success" of the Abraham Accords, the truth is that the Accords leave out any mention of the Palestinian problem.
Meanwhile, the Neo-Nazi, white supremacist MAGA base supporting Trump would like nothing more than to see Israel bombed out of existence. Many within the extreme Evangelical faction of his base are waiting for some kind of apocalyptic climax to the religious differences in the Middle East.

(7 posts)Most of the MAGAts Ive encountered are extremely pro Israel, almost to the point of blind allegiance.

(26,451 posts)They use any excuse to just out and out hate. As we all know, people who are cut off from reality to the point of being blind are very easy to lead. Justify their desire to hate and it's golden.

Note that they have provided financial support to Uganda for them to enact the death penalty against the LGBTQ community! They would love for Israel to follow all of their crazed, apocalyptic fantasies about biblical prophesy, then ultimately only the Jews who accept Christianity would survive.

(2,652 posts)They think it is Trump-like to pretend to support Israel while Trump and his traitorous family sell nuclear secrets to Israel,'s worst enemies in the Middle East.
So what did the Saudis give Kushner 2 billion dollars for again?
