    Picture needs to be embedded in the pro Hamas numbskull leftist minds on here .....

    Death to the Islamic republic but long live Iran

    the people that died were those at the tip of transferring weapons -
    It was a great day when they died and frankly more needs to be done to stop the Islamic republic.

    Death to the Hamas and everyone that supports it !

    Makes sense that Republican apostate, David Frum, wrote this article. I don't disagree, but having a left leaning rag publish this symbolizes shifts in editorial content based on the president...

    It's good the Abraham Accords hasn't become a piece of toilet paper for its signees.

    I love it. I wish the idiots on here would understand many of us that are pro-Israel and the right for them to exist are NOT against brown people - We are against a savage mindset that unfortunately uses proxies in it’s unholy war against “infidels”- The Islamic republic connection to the Hamas, the Hezbollah, and the Houthis is all about a religion driven dynamic that frankly is against both left wing and right wing ideology

    Sexual activity between members of the same sex is illegal and can be punishable by death in Iran - hopefully our numbskull liberals that condone the unholy alliance between themselves and radical Islam fully understand this. They want your a.ss dead. The fools blocking traffic included!

    Iran itself as a people have real innocents definitely moreso than Gaza as a percentage…That video that you showed of the beautiful Iranian lady was complete significantly true-Iran is not the problem the problem is the Islamic republic. And when countries like Jordan and Saudi Arabia form a defensive coalition of sorts -This gives me hope and pride that Islamic people can make a stand against radical Islam that those in power in Iran perpetuate

    Many Arab countries don’t like Iran and there has been low grad conflict for years between Sunni Arab countries and Shia Iran.

    I agree.

    What's notable is the historical line our Arab allies have toed when it comes to Israel as not only have those Arab leaders fanned the flames of anti-Israel rhetoric among their people, but also because their people are more restless when it comes to supporting Israel.

    What they're doing now is showing a clear commitment to honoring the Abraham Accords (with greater support and access from US as payment) and also projecting a clear response against real culprit behind Oct 7.

    Whether this holds up is still up in the air as to how much Muslims living in these countries can stomach Israel's escalation against Hamas.

    Joey aint doing great in battleground MI, but it's not the biggest issue given what's coming out of One Man Crimewave's mouth.

    Who knows...maybe the Saudis have a tight lid on their rightwing wahabbist fundies...

    Nobody supports Iran, those of us that don’t advocate for dead children, aid workers; and genocide seem to understand that


    Let me just put it plainly, you literally echoed the same sentiment that ****ed us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Guess who paid the price? Not people like you

    There are likely multiple reasons why Arab countries would cooperate against Iran even helping Israel. My understanding also is that in countries like Saudi Arabia and the Emirates is that while the population might be very sympathetic towards the Palestinians and more critical of Israel the leadership isn’t.

    Then, if you understand it, then I hope you can understand not to use Hamas propaganda but you're completely bought into it

    There's a partisan blind spot that comes from the Abraham Accords, especially when Ivanka Trump's man-wife was in charge of the effort. I didn't think it would amount to much then, and just look back into the replies on here dismissing the deal...

    These countries signed the accords for various reasons but your point wrt Iran was a keystone for getting them to align with Israel.

    The other bedrock would be the US acting as a mediator/facilitator much like Japan and S. Korea's current relationship despite historical Japanese denialism for their war crimes committed in WW2

    I think this tweeter assumes that not holding Israel back from going into Rafah and actually fully eliminating Hamas would have allowed Israel to end this conflict much sooner and thereby potentially save more hostages. And he/she assumes that Trump would not have held Israel back.
