I think one of Israel’s biggest PR problems on social media is that it’s heavily outnumbered by its enemies - and those enemies don’t play the rules. Israel and Jewish people generally stick to the rules and operate honestly. We have some great influencers, yes, but we don’t have massive bot farms or troll armies pumping out propaganda 24/7, flooding the internet and indoctrinating people with their narrative…

As one of the most vocal critics of Hezbollah, I have now changed my stance HEZBOLLAH SHOULD ONLY DISARM WHEN ISRAEL EITHER PULLS OUT OR GUARANTEES TO PULL OUT OF SOUTH LEBANON I changed my position after seeing Netanyahu blow up homes, schools and hospitals at scale, GAZA 2.0! A disgusting war crime. I await the day he faces justice for what he did in Gaza and Lebanon Don't get me wrong, this does not mean Hezbollah should not disarm. Hezbollah is as responsible as Israel for the destruction of Lebanon, and as soon as Israel is out (or guarantees it will withdraw), Hezbollah should immediately disband or merge with the Lebanese Army Hezbollah prioritized Iran over Lebanon, and Israel took advantage of that to invade. Both have Lebanese blood on their hands!

I don't care about the Strait of Hormuz I don't care about oil prices I don't care about sanctions I want the regime GONE Period

The dictatorships in Tehran and Beijing share an overarching goal of undermining the United States and exporting their authoritarian models. Defeating the Iranian theocracy isn't just about disarming the mullahs - it is critical to disrupting this dangerous alliance.

Israel just blew up a public high school in Marwahin, South Lebanon. Not a military base. A school.

So Upside Down Forget about their nuclear ambitions. Forget about their terrorist proxies. Forget about their 5000 missiles. Iran executed what most experts say is 30,000 unarmed protesters in cold blood — and publicly executed thousands more after “trials.” And they treat women worst of all denying them basic rights. (Not that the women’s groups or college campuses are coming to the aid of these oppressed peoples). And this is a critical moment in the Iran conflict with Iran having to decide whether to fold or attack America’s ships. And so what do Democrats do? Schedule votes to stop all US efforts on Iran and to deny aid to Israel, whose people are surviving over 1000 ballistic missiles aimed at its civilians (what Democrats like to call war crimes and violations of international law). They are undermining our position, ignoring the outrageous behavior of Iran and putting politics over policy. Agree or not unless you actively support the Iranian regime these failing motions at this time only put our troops more in harm’s way. The Iranians read the New York Times. And it’s clear that moderate democratic presidential candidates, if there are any, all feel they have to abandon their long held beliefs to cater to the perceived left position with votes they know are not passing anyway but gets cheers from the activists who now clearly own the Bernie Sanders party.
