Dude. My country elected Donald Trump, but that doesn't make me a Cheeto.

This is a valid point, but to be fair, the majority of Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump

And only 23 percent of Israelis voting in the last elections voted for Netanyahu.

That's only half as much as Trump got in the popular vote in 2016.

More importantly, more voters who actually voted voted for the other candidate.

I said "keep voting", the majority see nothing wrong with Bibi's treatment of the Palestinians, although they'll be calling for blood after his failure to keep them safe.

The US kicked the tires on a Trump presidency and decided one term was more than enough.

I mean to be fair a majority of Americans never elected Donald Trump but because some people votes literally matter more than others he still won the election

Your country has been a long time ally and supporter of Israel. Almost all voters consistently choose parties which support this. It's one of the justifications Bin Laden gave for 9/11.

I know this is controversial in some parts of the fediverse, but I don't agree with groups like Al Qaeda.

I find it shocking how often you'll read comments echoing that logic, and suggesting that civilians deserve to die for the crimes of their government or leader, simply because they were born on the wrong side of a border.
