White House Spox won't say that Israel is an ally

@horace said in White House Spox won't say that Israel is an ally:
I would like to understand from Bach whether Israel was largely pro-Trump during his administration.
Fair enough
Basically splits along the pro and anti bibi lines
Pro bibi tended to be pro trump although with the caveat that bibi was usually seen as much more politically savvy
Anti bibi appreciated some of the decisions made (Jerusalem embassy, peace accords with UAE) but saw the same populism in trump that was happening with bibi (and in other places around the world, India, UK, etc)

So, along pop culture lines, it was a draw? In America, it was far from a draw. It was a dominating win against Trump.

@horace yea a draw
Israel has been in a continuous draw for the past two years, hence the repeated elections.

I am amused by how many Jews there are on WTF. What do they think they are doing? Idiots.
WTF is that supposed to mean?

It's supposed to mean that the team they think they are on, is not the team they are on.

In case anyone really wondered because social media and the MSM has scrambled so many brains, the US is indeed close allies with Saudi Arabia and Israel.

What does that mean? Do we sit at the same lunch table at the UN?

This one has always been tough. We have mutual interest in a stable SA - but they are one of the biggest harborers of terrorists and harbored the actual 9/11 terrorists.
Are they really allies? I guess that gets into the definition of what ally means.

Strategic allies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Don't pay attention to what they say, pay attention to what they do..."
Or in this case, what they don't do:
President Joe Biden is the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House
