    Pretty sure there’s a picture of Obama doing this too. It’s just being respectful while performing diplomacy. Sure, you can argue that this shouldn’t happen with Israel, but cherry picking R’s doing this and ignoring ALL OF THE D’s that did it too is just dishonest. This is misinformation.

      yeah and Obama was also a cuck for Israel for doing it. I agree we should show ALL of our leaders at the cucking-wall.

      All our leadership are cucks for Israel and it is in fact, very weird.

      Yes, we need bases and support in the middle-east, sure, makes sense. But it’s ridiculous to think there’s been no other way to exert political will in the region. Let’s just admit that our country is a corporation and it’s very profitable to have a reliable weapon-buyer and test-bed for all our new gadgets and killing tools.

            Yeah but Geneva you’re missing the point! They pointed out that the other sports team side does it too therefore you lost. Checkmate.

            If you’re not red, you’re blue. No nuance is available, no ability to be neither red or blue. You must pick a team, because… well because they said so! Duh!

              Nope, not playing whataboutism. I’m simply asking that we don’t LIE to make a point. This post is dishonest.

                Where is the lie? Does anything in the post suggest that only Republicans do this or is it saying the current administration is?

            THEN POINT IT OUT. DONT POST BULLSHIT CLAIMING ITS A ONE SIDED ISSUE.

            You’re not helping anything by spreading misinformation just because you like it.

              I have had Dems complaint about “one sided criticism” when Biden was in power but this is the first time it has happened for Trump.

              It’s getting highlighted online because Mike Johnson is on a fealty swearing trip in Israel right now.

                Oh shut the fuck up already. I’m not “Dems”. I’m me. And I’m criticizing YOU for being dishonest and spreading your own propaganda that is easily proven false. It’s “getting highlighted” because you posted a bullshit post. It wouldn’t be highlighted if you didnt post this crap. Have some goddamn integrity and stop throwing your hands up on the air when criticized. Stop spreading falsehoods and when called out on it, own up to it. You’re behaviour is exactly the same as a MAGA trying to pretend to be naive.

            Damn, so troll Dem complain that people who said Genocide Joe sold the election to Trump, while Maga troll complain that people who saying “Us government loyalty is to Israel” are ignoring what Dem do.

            Get over it, your entire government and all representative are participating in war crimes and genocide.

      How many other government’s representatives have done this? I’ve never heard of any. (Maybe I’ve missed them, it’s possible)

        And Holy Shit, look at the top results… Is that Obama I see? Oh wow… And a bunch of other people too? Shiiiiiit. It’s almost like there’s more nuance to the issue than some hastily thrown together tweet taking shit out of context.

        This would be hilarious if I didn’t think you were a registered voter who thinks they are “informed” when they can’t even do a basic search. Ffs, I don’t even know the name of the damn wall, I just guessed. Now I know it’s the Western Wall, and can even learn more about it, because I did 5 seconds of research.

        Media literacy in this country is dead.

        Edit: alright, fuck it, in my haste I didn’t see you said other countries. My bad there. But I’m leaving all of this, because…

        https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=foreign+diplomats+visiting+Western+Wall+in+Israel+

        …STILL APPLIES. It’s not that hard. Seriously.

              Yes?

              Well apparently there aren’t really any significant numbers that are pretending to be jewish for some reason. I suppose that when you’re not a US politician, people at home would just think you’re a weirdo.

                squints can you move those goal posts a little closer? They’re almost out of the park how far you moved them to not have to admit that you just didn’t know that other countries do the same thing with the western wall.

      There is exactly zero nuance in this comment. Obama hadn’t been throwing around near the rhetoric that Trump and his cronies have.

      Israel has always (afaik) been an ally. The difference is the fanaticism and devotion our leaders demand we give to another country.
