Jesus Christ I'm so tired of this conflation.

It's literally a tactic Trump uses all the time. He has congratulated Xi Ping Pong, Ki Jong Un, and even Putin. The left has attacked him ruthlessly and we defended it as "art of the deal."

If you are the leader of a country, you don't burn bridges. I don't even like Netanyahu per se, but the act of congratulating means jack shit.

Netanyahu has no LEGITMATE reason to have good relations with Biden. Under Biden, the Iran deal happened, ISIS spread throughout the region, and they endured more attacks from Gaza than any years previously. Terrorism against Israel was at it's peak and Obama/Biden were directly responsible for empowering the forces that led to this.

Netanyahu does not want a Biden Presidency. This is pure diplomacy.

Learn to read a situation.

I agree, people are making too much of this, leaders of other countries are not MAGA, they are worried about their own countries. No reason to expect them to make a big show of support for Trump, they’re just people whose interests sometimes align with ours but frequently don’t.

I imagine he might even have privately spoken to Trump about the steal, and informed him about the publicity move.

I was thinking, is it possible that he would have contacted Trump in secret and gotten his blessing for this? He definitely would be pressured by other countries' leaders, who had already done the same.

Project more, Xi, Kim and Putin all hold their respective offices.

I'll just take Netanyahu for his action, not what you imagine his private reasoning to be.

'If you are the leader of a country, you don't burn bridges.' but that's what Netanyahu has done.

"Project more"

It's like you say that phrase without knowing it's meaning..

Either way, the concept is the same. You don't congratulate because they hold office. You congratulate to keep the door open for what is to come in the future.

Do I think it's weak for Netanyahu to do that with Biden? Ya.. because Biden will throw Israel to the wolves without a 2nd thought. It's no different than a cuck asking for his girlfriend back.

But don't pretend like this is proof of some Zionist agenda. Every single country does this during every single election. It's to gain good grace in the case one of the party wins.

"Project more", "Zionist agenda."

I didn't mention an agenda...

I never said you did......

But given the past few posts on this topic, that seems to be the consensus.

"Look! Zionists always backstab us"

If you are not making that case, fine.. but the case is being made on a false premise (this time around).
