Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news analysis. Late last month, Donald Trump declared that if he loses the November election, it will be the Jews’ fault.

trump is going to get the right wing extremist Jewish vote, because Bibi wants trump...

Which is why it doesn't make sense for Biden and Harris to be going after their votes.

Taking a stand against Israels genocides wouldn't cost any votes and would gain a bunch.

But AIPAC gives too much money to the party for that to happen.

Quick edit:

Obviously it's insane for Bibi to want trump while starting wars/invasions against Russia's allies and being wholly reliant on American aid...

But that's not stopping Bibi

he's probably only starting these wars because it's hurting Harris. Watch him knock it off after the election.

He's starting these genocides and calling them wars because he's going to lose Israel's next election and the only thing preventing an election is the "war" going on.

If Israel has peace, Bibi doesn't have power.

Seriously, he was about to be recalled till 10/7 and demands have only grown since.

Edit:

Shit...

Maybe that's it.

Israel can count on the Dems support, and trump is more unreliable, risky, and comes with a price...

But Bibi, if he wants to seize power personally, would be better served with the likes of Putin/trump. He might want to fully seize power and him and trump might have any agreement to back each other when they can't win an election

Like Bibi does it now, trump puts the US behind Bibi instead of Israel.

Four years later trump does it and Bibi puts Israel behind him.

It's the only way Bibi supporting trump really makes sense.

But this is a tiny percentage of the overall Jewish vote.

Yeah, he's the problem.

Agreed, but they still need to retain the Jewish vote overall. The issue here is going too far for Hamas may cost these votes. What Harris needs is a platform and position that gives the pro-Palestine folks what they want while keeping the Jewish voters happy too.

Taking a stand against Israels genocides wouldn’t cost any votes and would gain a bunch.

I'd argue that Harris has already done so in stating that we need an immediate ceasefire and a two state solution.

The problem is, just taking a stand is costless but going further - with punitive measures against Israel - those would likely cost.

Donald Trump is philosemitic

TPM's title is a bit redundant, isn't it?
