    It has nothing to do with a ‘republican’ congress.

    Democrats wouldn’t stand up to Israel either and you’re delusional if you think otherwise.

          You know that they put the sanctions on Russia right, even with a Republican Congress. Or do you forget how the sanctions were held until Trump came into office and stopped allowing the executive branch to uphold them?

            That means democrats would stand up to Israel?

            This is what I mean by delusion. You people are so far gone you can’t even realize it.

              Sanctioning Israel if they dropped a nuke on Iran? Absolutely. I’m not even a democrat but you are living in another world if you think they wouldn’t. What realm of insanity are you living in.

              Post a nuke being dropped Iran only gains sympathy for standing up for the Palestinians.

              Democrat Congress members are idiots who were way behind on what their constituents wanted and had money funneled to them. But there is no way they would be able to support Israel after that and ever be elected again

                They wouldn’t even stop supporting Israel when they started committing a modern holocaust, let alone actually sanctioning them.

                They were also perfectly happy to support Israel even if it stopped them getting elected.

                If Israel nuked Iran, the Democrats would do some performative brow furrowing, call for Israel to show restraint, and send them another billion dollars

                  If you look at that chart, it even shows partly why. Sympathy for Palestinians didn’t hit above 50% of the democratic party till 2024/2025. Which means those members elected were elected in a time of less than 50% support for Palestinians. Also sanctions as being discussed are made by Congress which has not had a Democrat majority since 2009. So there is not way they could have passed any sanctions the Republicans didn’t negotiate to agree with. (Which those charts show less than 20% of Republicans having sympathy towards Palestinians at all times since 2001). So it would be career suicide for a Republican to vote for such, as their constituents don’t want it.

                  If it were voted on again now, we would likely see 100% Republican Congress support for Israel and 40% support from Democrat Congress support, which is rediculous… But fairly accurate of how that graph would indicate.

                Yeah, you’re just going to keep moving goalposts rather than admit you’re wrong.

                You did it once and I gave you a pass, but twice is inexcusable.

                I’m going to ignore you now. Goodbye.

            And they didn’t put sanctions on Israel. In fact, they sent them record amounts of free weapons

              I know, that’s the part where I said the Democrats congressmembers were slow and had been funneled money from Israel for their campaigns. When they were elected into office support for Israel was over 50% in the U.S. in 2023 it was still over 50% so it was borderline rediculous. In 2025, support for Israel is only over 50% by one of those 2 parties. As for the other guy saying I’m moving goal posts… The post is about Israel having nukes and the media not mentioning them while discussing war with Iran, so I didn’t find it off topic to say this was about Israel possibly using nukes on Iran, but oh well. We’ll just have differing opinions.

              Hope you have a good day
