It's inspiring how Biden is destroying his 2024 chances and the chances of the dems in federal races so he can have a very high approval rating in Israel. Actually - to be honest - I'd love it if American tv news interviewed typical American settlers in the West Bank. I wonder how they'd phrase things. Like this?...
"Do I like Biden? Very much. He's good for Israel. Will I vote for him? Of course not. He's a democrat! And Trump is even better."
and the ~200k israeli-americans don't even vote in US elections, 1.7 fucking percent. he'd get more overseas votes courting US citizens living in Spain lmao
That surprises me. I woul have guessed 15+%. I guess they figure they're in the Holy Land with God's approval so voting in the US doesn't matter much. But if Bernie had been the 2016 candidate - the voting percentage would have skyrocketed.
The following made me laugh.
The Trump administration "just came and flipped the script. They said, we don't have to hinge peace in the Middle East on the Palestinians," says Etana Hecht, an Israeli American voter who arrived in Jerusalem with a convoy of cars decorated in Trump flags. She praised Trump's diplomatic agreements brokered between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan, deals that sidelined Palestinians but enthused Israelis. "We're already looking to make our son's bar mitzvah in Abu Dhabi," Hecht says.
