This image speaks volumes. “We will continue the genocide in Gaza at all costs,” for example.
I’m starting to think this is just a giant money laundering scheme.
Give Federal money and resources
Receive large campaign contributions and Super PAC donationsOnly problem I have with this is your inclusion of “starting to”. It is, always has been.
Yeah…
…I can be slow…
Nooo.
The US government would never launder money by using weapons shipments to Israel… Especially not a Republican administration… Nooooo
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.
You mean the guy who sent like 30 billion dollars in weapons to Israel for free?
Yes, so unlike the last president’s actions with Israel. Who was a Dem…
Sure. Dems have unfettering loyalty to Israel too. Doesn’t really make it better.
Yeah but Geneva you’re missing the point! They pointed out that the other

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.
Can you point out where the post says only MAGA does this?
I think OP forgot that Kamala also supported Israel and would have taken THE EXACT SAME PICTURE.
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…

My point exactly. Those are all from the US.
Second link dipshit.
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.
“pretending to be Jewish”… Ummm they’re not doing that so another lie spread I guess.
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.
I dunno, I can still see the goalposts. I think he needs to move them again…
It’s bad for all of them. Fuck Israel.
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.
True, Obama did way better PR for Apartheid. Trump is letting the mask slip.
There are plenty of things politicians do to be diplomatic, this is just one of them.
Perform a religious prayer of a religion they don’t adhere to?
This is not normal whatsoever.
Trump swears by the bible but doesn’t adhere to it, how is this any different?
He doesn’t pretend to be Jewish.
It’s common for Christian politicians to visit other religious sites such as mosques or synagogues. But actively performing a prayer is a completely different matter.
But actively performing a prayer is a completely different matter.
“Performing” a prayer?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s performative for sure.
He said “a religious prayer” a few comments up lol
Once again, nobody’s pretending to be Jewish. Everyone who does this has to wear one. Gentiles included.
Sure but the question is not how the religious ritual is performed but why US presidents and their entourage are performing it when it’s clearly not their religion.
Omg do you think youre clever? Yes theyre all up Israel’s ass. Yes its for weapons most likely.
You don’t need to look for crap in every photo, this is just their stated policy
You apparently didn’t even know what you were looking at till this thread, chill
Come on people, he’s a tankie troll.
Nobody in this thread has said anything I did not already know.
Why does it have to be different? Why can’t both things be gross?
Dude, that describes like 90% of Christianity.
There’s “normal” and there’s “politician normal”. Let’s also not forget that all this religious bullshit was started to make it easier for politicians to control people.
Yeah this seems like one of the least weird things these professional weirdos have done…
You don’t see those people prsy in a mosque is saudi arabia or sny other arab country
I would prefer politicians to do duels with mincers, not this weird stuff.
yhea, I can bullshit. when was the last time a US politicians publicly went to an Eid event?

God. I know it’s the pettiest and least on-topic thing about these photos but… That god-damn weird-ass Trump centaur stance… At all times. Always. Centaur stance. I hope it’s physically painful for him to stand like that. I hope it hurts every day that he has to get up and walk.
I don’t want “Trump centaur stance” in my search history, please explain wtf you’re talking about.
Look at any photograph of him. He does this weird leaning forward thing (which some people take to be indicative of a certain type of disorder) that happens to make him look like a centaur would if you cut off the front legs and human torso into a human shape. See here
Why is Trump and Vance wearing a yamaka?
Respect for religious beliefs. That is the Western Wall, a remnant of the 2nd holy temple in Jerusalem. Mind you, it’s all a bunch of fairy tale bullshit, like every religion.
So like when women have to wear a hijab, in certain places, even if they’re not of the same faith?
Sounds about right.
It also isn’t even the actual temple wall.
well there was a temple (where they did animal sacrifice and stuff) but this might not be it
Mike Johnson is wearing one too but it’s less visible.
It’s required attire for touching the western wall.
*yarmulke fyi
What’s the difference, just curious.
Thats… how its spelled? “Yamaka” isn’t a word, its spelled “yarmulke”
Well that was a weird rabbit hole. I had no idea. Thanks.
Honest question, but isn’t that kinda disrespectful tp Judaism? They are now Jewish, they don’t believe on the Jewish beliefs, are not the hat religious?
I’m Jewish, and I think it is.
not because they aren’t Jewish, I welcome everyone to visit that place (just wait for apartheid to end before you go there), but because they are using the most religious place as a photo-op to appease genocidal lobbyists.
Can we PLEASE PLEASE stop treating judaism like it’s a special religion? I can mock christians all day, every day, why the different treatment for jews?
rule of thumb. it’s ok to punch upwards and laterally in comedy,
given that Christianity is basically the default state religion in most developed countries, making fun of it is sort of punching upwards.
but unless you’re part of the minority, it’s likely you’ll say some really stupid stuff if you make fun of said minority and it’ll likely sound hateful and ignorant.
and to make it clear. those politicians are zionists, they are doing it to appease their AIPAC donor. they are not Jewish and do not support jews or their communities. look how the only loud antizionist politician in the US has the support of his Jewish constituents.
yes, the reason to be sensitive about Judaism is the robust history and present of oppression Jews have experienced. It’s unfortunate that Israel uses this as a basis of dismissing legitimate criticism of their crimes as anti-Semitism.
For comparison, imagine a Black ethno-state committing genocide (e.g. like in Ethiopia) and then dismissing critics as merely racists.
Because the Catholic ethnostate exists with the consent of Italy lmao
I would say judaism should be seen as at least as special islam and christianity since it’s an abrahamic religion and rarer than both. So if you’re okay to say that neither of those are special, only then is it consistent to say that judaism is not special.
I don’t mean it as it because Judaism is an special religion. If someone that is not catholic or Muslim goes in a performative confession or migration to the Mecca I would think is disrespectful too.
Probably something about millions of them being tortured and killed in concentration camps that makes mocking the Jewish people kinda taboo.
For the most part, they’ve been pretty chill about the whole thing, frankly… But those cuts run deeeep. I’m not Jewish, and even I’m disgusted by how they were rounded up and slaughtered like cattle for no reason other than being who they are.
The biggest issue that I think you’re going to face is that most people can’t differentiate between the Jewish faith and the Jewish people (who may or may not believe in the Jewish faith).
Generally, I don’t think that making fun of the faith is any more or less taboo than poking fun at Christians or Catholics or whatever… But making fun of the Jewish people, is generally a no fly zone.
Since people lack the intelligence, awareness, and shits to give, in order to see that being Jewish and believing in the Jewish faith are separate. So if you make fun of one, you’re making fun of both.
Edit: let me back up for a second to say: I’m just trying to explain the behaviour. I am neither Jewish, nor a fan of the Jewish people, nor do I have any strong feelings against them per-se. This message is only discussing how others tend to see the Jewish people/faith/whatever. It does not, in whole or in part, express how I feel about anything at all, ever, for any reason.
Since when is mocking any religion taboo? You guys have been following the wrong comedians.
Oh, I don’t think that’s taboo at all. That’s basically the common fare.
My entire point is that people will conflate mocking the Jewish religion, for mocking the Jewish people; which will get them up on a high horse and unhappy and/or angry with you for being antisemitic.
Ah fair, thanks for clarifying!
Probably something about millions of them being tortured and killed in concentration camps that makes mocking the Jewish people kinda taboo.
Holocaust survivors are few and far between but the zionists keep milking that cow (neglecting the fact the nazis didn’t target only jews).
Palestine has been suffering their own continued holocaust for over 70 years, perpetrated by the zionists.
Yeah people conflate race, culture, ethnicity, religion and what not into “being jew” because they themselves do that, so that they can claim any criticism is antisemitism.I think whatever ship protected them sailed with all the genocide they’re committing.
Stop conflating Israel’s atrocities and zionism in general with Judaism and Jewish people. It 1) plays right into Israel’s strategy and 2) is, or at the very least begets, antisemitism.
82% of the Jewish population supports what the Zionists are doing in Gaza. Fuck Israel and fuck any feelings they have about being mocked. They don’t deserve to be protected by the world.
82% of the Jewish population of what, earth? Like, they asked everyone?
Trump’s approval rating is listed at 35%. Was I, an American, ever polled on this? No. Am I rejecting it outright because clearly based on my own experience the sample size was not 100%? Nope.
If the Jewish population, especially those living in Israel, don’t want to be lumped in with genocide, they can do something about it. Same as Americans who don’t want to be lumped in with those committing the destruction of the American country. I’m lumped in until I do something about it, and that’s fair. Want a good name? Make it.
Probably. I’m not going to argue about what’s happening over there.
People seem to have a lot of opinions on it and the only strong feelings I have about it are that people should stop killing eachother because grown men who are supposed to be leaders of their respective nations, cannot make peace because they’re too childish to have sympathy, empathy, and any shreds of humanity to not starve, bomb, kill, maim, or otherwise destroy eachother.
The reasons why they’re doing what they’re doing, IMO, are not as important as the lives they’re ending in the process.

Paying fealty to your bosses and larping as piety never goes out of style in US politics.

Unfortunately, those of us in the comments have likely seen it from the beginning
The rest refuse to see anything
If they conflate Judaism and Zionism, I don’t see why our condemnation of that conflation should follow the same path.
So no, it’s not weird. I have no problem with anyone paying respect to the Jewish religion.
Ps. Free Palestine.
Sure but this is not paying respect, it’s performing a prayer in a religion they don’t adhere to.
This is really just tourist shit, innit?
I’ve been and I’m nowhere near religious. I really thought it was just a touristy thing to do while you’re there, though obviously I know that it has a lot of significance to some groups.
*in a religion that is a direct precursor to their own
Christians blame Jews for crucifying Jesus, what are you on about? Christians literally invented Pogroms.
Ugh go trash up someone else’s inbox
Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. The Old Testament and the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) are largely the same.
Yes Christianity is the sequel to Judaism, but they believe that the Jews at the time didn’t want to follow Jesus and crucified him for heresy. Hence Jews and Christians have a had a lot of beef the past 2000 years.
It’s a bit more complicated than that, but the point is that praying at the western wall is not exactly not Christian.
Did he find a crevice to put his hand in?
The wall is too old for him to be interested in penetrating it.
So you can’t tell how ridiculously small they are.
Isn’t the weird part, “and the next two in line of succession?”
