Also some right wing, liberal mixture of nationalism, racism, Islamophobia and classism or anti-socialism.
Nationalism as in "why you would ever show solidarity with a foreign people for any other reason than familial relations or monetary gain? You should only care about America!"
Racism, I mean, come on.
Islamophobia he comes off as a Zionist or at minimum a Zionist defender which is definitely Islamophobic. Also disregards non-Arab Muslims in the US and worldwide who also show solidarity with Palestine for religious reasons.
Classist or anti-socialist because of the nationalistic viewpoint basically. "You are in the labor aristocracy and should show solidarity with your fellows here and in aligned nations, not with the oppressed in other nations." This theme runs through most US and I guess western politicians generally. They won't use those words explicitly, but the meaning is always pretty clear. Also just a condescending tone in the wording.
"Wow. You guys are sooooooo dumb! Of course Bibi wants Cheeto man to win! You stupid leftists are giving him what he wants!" meanwhile Biden fully sanctions the genocide Outside of direct US military intervention or nuke deployment, I don't really how Trump could possibly worse on this issue and many others like US involvement in Ukraine.
There’s a definite bit of implicit Thatcherism going on. There is no alternative to the brutal, settler colonial war machine, so take the option that puts a respectable face on said machine.
Taking that train of thought to the last station... wouldn't the argument boil down to voting Trump? If the only option is the brutal war machine then we might as well make sure the face of that machine is as disgusting and honest as possible to hopefully snap Americans out of their complacency.
Liberal deployment of IDpol.
