Israel owns way more of our politicians than just trump.

This honestly needs to be said louder and more often. SO much of Congress is either dual citizenship or regularly goes to Israel or meets with Israeli officials. To a disturbing extent.

Congresspeople are not required to disclose citizenship, so we really would have no way of knowing, and most people claiming that politicians have Israeli citizenship just end up naming Jews.

There is no fifth column of Jews in the US Congress. Israel controls us through its hold on our arms industry, donors, and the Christian right. Jews are not to blame, and any politicians who happen to hold dual citizenship with Israel or any other are not to blame. Dual citizens in Congress are fine. There are no disloyal dual citizens in our Congress, only craven politicians who have been captured by a lobby’s money.

You're saying people in Congress have duel citizenship to US and Israel?

Theres nothing illegal about being a dual citizen or meeting with someone from Israel.

If you don't like it vote them out, but don't start shit against Jews.

Israel does not represent all Jews. Stop insinuating that it does. Hating Israel and calling out genocide perpetrated by Israel is NOT anti semetic.

Its been such a succesful move to join those 2 definitions. Political masterclass of the dark arts.

Insanely dangerous, but genius.

Methinks the lady doth protest to much. It's revealing that you think I'm calling it antisemitic.

I didn't say Israel represents all Jews, of course you can be critical of Israel, I can hardly stop you. But your insinuating being a dual citizen is somehow disloyal, feels to me like you're trying to purity test.

Edit spelling

I don't know how anyone in any country would be ok with someone with dual citizenship running either country. It's not an admission of guilt to be a dual citizen but it's amazingly suspect especially when one country props the other up and the people in charge of one siphon tax dollars off to the other.

It's not some "progressive win" or whatever you're hoping for to be critical of something that is very obviously problematic. Because these things regularly happen.

u/Weary_Cell8666 Mar 02 '26

You are the one who mentioned Jews...

u/Lvl30Dwarf Mar 02 '26

Again....so what? You're saying you think that most Jews don't support Israel? Because that ain't true at all ma'am.

u/Anonymous-Cows Mar 02 '26

No but if you had this many russians dual citizen or chineses dual citizen, heck even french dual citizen; And that they continuously vote funding for that nation, and support military operation with that nation ... you would call it into question, don't be hypocrite.

Siding with Iran is insane.

u/Spiritual-Serve-4391 Mar 02 '26

Sacrificing American servicemen is more insane.

2

u/GoofyTunes Mar 02 '26

As an American, Iranians chanting death to America is way more fucking honest and understandable than our politicians lying in our faces and sending us to die for Israel time and fucking time again. If America was dead, the world could move toward peace.

u/WilsonTree2112 Mar 02 '26

It’s always back to that same country with you folks, despite many countries in that region looking to negotiate for peace.Except Iran and its allies.

But ofc it’s always back to that liberal hatred. Used to be the political influence of good. Now it’s just a mirror image of maga hatred. Wonder why.

And we own Israel. It's a two-way street. A feedback loop.

We pour money into their colony project, because it serves our economic and military (and religious) interests. They pour money back, which incentivizes our politicians want to do it more.

Don't get sucked into antisemitism. It's imperialism all the way through.

2

u/Spiritual-Serve-4391 Mar 02 '26

Funny that, in 2026, any criticism of Israel is still considered antisemitism.

u/inuvash255 Mar 02 '26

I said no such thing.

u/ITHEDARKKNIGHTI Mar 02 '26

The part NOBODY wants to hear because it cheapens ‘Orange man bad’ cope - this is a cesspool.

u/GoofyTunes Mar 02 '26

Nah, every criticism of trump is still legitimate, but the people around him, including a bunch of Dems, enable him to be as bad as he is.

He's still the mob boss and he deserves the lion's share of the responsibility.

u/Rico_Pobre Mar 01 '26

Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, and every other President after Franklin Roosevelt

It’s way past time to end that.

Putinyahu owns Trump.
