Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    This sentiment made it Trump

        And that sentiment is why she was lacking votes. Like come on we all know how elections work and that less votes means you lose. If you don’t want to find out why you got less votes, don’t be mad when you loose again.

        Oh they’re mad at this one, guess you decided to learn nothing. See you right back here again in 4 years then.

        Kamala was wishful…well i wouldnt call kamala a wish, no one wanted her. Anyway it was wrong to believe she could win.

          Yeah, I’m starting to think there was never an opportunity to win. I’m thinking it came down to punishing the administration for the economy and none of the other arguments mattered at all.

            Tons of arguments mattered, all of them against kamala. She said to hell with progressive voters and tried competing with trump to win conservative voters. From celebrity republican endorsements, calls for stricter immigration policy, following Trumps lead on proposals like cutting taxes on tipped wages for some reason. Plus all us voters who couldn’t delude ourselves into being okay with genocide.

              In which case she obviously didn’t do enough to reach out to conservatives, because every single swing state went red.
