Summary
Former CIA Director Leon Panetta warned that Trump’s return to the White House could embolden Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, giving him a “blank check” in the Middle East and increasing the risk of war with Iran.
Panetta expressed concern that Trump would support Netanyahu’s aggressive stance against Iran without restraint, potentially worsening regional instability.
Panetta also predicted Trump might allow Russia to retain parts of Ukraine if he returns to office, though he doubted Trump’s negotiation skills.
He criticized Trump’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting Trump would be inclined to “capitulate” to authoritarian leaders, which may not sit well with some Republicans.
That is true. Which is why it doesn’t matter if the bombs given to Israel are red or blue.
However now Democrats lost over genocide. Now AIPAC cannot play both parties anymore by making blind support for Israel the deciding factor. The Democrats lost because of Israel. Now they need to purge the Zionists and rebrand as the non genocide party, if they want to win moving on. This locks AIPAC in as being only in support of the Republicans, which limits their political influence.
If it wasn’t for Harris/Biden loss, there was no hope for Palestinians, or any other people in West Asia in regards to US policy. Now there is a chance that one side of US policy will change.
I don’t think genocide is the only reason Kamala lost.
They lost because they ran a shitty campaign. The only politician with lower polling numbers than Biden are Dick Cheney (a war criminal) and she embraced him, and then bragged about getting support from corporate CEOs.
The campaign was moronic at best.
It is not the only reason. In swing states like Michigan it seems to have been the deciding factor.

However i doubt that even with a decent campaign of addressing the economic concerns of normal people the Democrats could have hacked it. With the steadfast support for Israel they have shown everyone whose ancestry is somewhere south of the European alps, that they are second grade people, easily dispensable if necessary.
I was so pissed at Israel and Israeli’s for the genocide we’re watching. Then as an American I looked in the mirror and saw my tax dollars providing the bombs for the genocide and realized I’m as responsible as the citizens of Israel. Now I’m just disgusted by our nation, the state of the world and my complicity in that state
Good for you!
Now you can be pissed our tax dollars will be going to support the genocides of Palestine, and Ukraine! Others too I’m sure!
