The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

By not kissing the Israeli Killing Machine's butt - Trump would lose very few people. Not too many red hats are gonna go to Biden for *any* reason - including this one.

However, he'd exploit some of the Arabic vote, in electoral rich Michigan.


None of the Arabic vote is going to switch to Trump based on anything Trump does, either. Or the progressive vote. They're not going to believe that Trump is going to champion the Palestinian cause. He's much better off squeezing Biden on the pro-Israel side. Especially since that's where his actual position was through most of the time he was in office - he was squarely on the side of trying to normalize and integrate Israel without advancing a two-state solution for the Palestinians.

It sounds like you think that U.S. foreign policy shouldn't be as supportive of Israel. Even if that were true, it doesn't necessarily mean that it would therefore be better for Trump to be less supportive of Israel.
