Was losing all that really all worth fighting up a losing battle over Israel?..
Which arguably had an even worse outcome than it would’ve, entirely because of their fighting over it let the genocidal dictator wannbe win?
Its ironically not too disimilar to how the far right screws over their voterbase…
Get them riled up over some racist bigoted stance, then stab them in the back and tell them it was somebody else’s fault while still holding the knife.
