Trump tells campaign event, ‘e’re going to make Israel great again’

The former US president spoke at length about the relationship between the United States and Israel at an event hosted by his campaign for the November 2024 presidential election on Thursday.

“We’re going to make Israel great again,” Trump said, adding that he’s the “most popular person in Israel” and “could run for Prime Minister”.

“Would you like me as your prime minister?” he asked the crowd at the event in Washington, DC.

Trump also spoke about his record of supporting Israel during his presidency, including the US recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.

He also said he had been told the “best thing” he had done for Israel was terminating the Iran nuclear deal, describing the 2015 agreement as “the worst deal ever made for Israel”.

Trump tells Israeli-American summit, ‘Evangelical Christians love Israel’

The former US president told the Israeli-American Council national summit on Thursday night that his Evangelical Christian supporters “love Israel”.

“You have Christians and Evangelical Christians. They love Israel so much, and it’s great to see that,” Trump said, at his second Israel-focused campaign event of the evening.

To illustrate, the Republican presidential nominee described how a church he had visited “went wild”, when he told them, “We will save Israel, and we will fight with Israel.”

“I hate to say it. Sometimes they love Israel much more than Jewish people in New York love Israel,” he said at the Washington, DC, event.

White Evangelical Christians have been among Trump’s most loyal supporters, with the former president fulfilling promises that reflect Christian Zionist beliefs about the “end times“, such as moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

He's not wrong. The Christian Broadcasting Network is spouting genocidal rhetoric. Preaching hate.

Uncommitted movement releases statement on election position

The Uncommitted National Movement has released a statement, saying that while it cannot endorse US Vice President Kamala Harris for president, a Trump presidency would “severely” undermine antiwar organising.

“In our assessment, our movement’s best hope for change lies in growing our anti-war organising power, and that power would be severely undermined by a Trump administration,” the antiwar group, which formed with the aim of pressuring the Democratic Party to change its position on the Gaza war, said in a statement.

According to the statement on X, at this time, the movement’s position is that it:

Muslim-American coalition urges support for pro-Palestine candidates, not Harris

A coalition of Muslim-American groups announced it will not endorse Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November presidential election.

Instead, it encouraged Muslim voters to support pro-Palestine candidates such as Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Justice for All nominee Cornel West, or others who back a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel.

“After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” it said in a statement.

Explaining the reason why the groups cannot endorse Harris’s candidacy, the coalition cited her refusal to consider cutting off weapons shipments to Israel for its war on Gaza, which has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women.

“As a matter of principle, we simply cannot support a presidential candidate who participated in enabling a genocide and then refused to lay out any concrete plans to end that genocide, all while refusing to even acknowledge that a genocide is occurring.”

‘This is what demagogues do’: Experts Warn of Civil War in America Ahead of Presidential Election

Bomb threats to schools in Ohio attended by immigrants, an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, and an increase in threats to federal judges are just a few examples of the heightened level of political violence in the United States.

Much has been written about Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric and incendiary language but what will happen if he loses the election? A study last year showed that violence is gaining mainstream acceptance, with one-third of Republicans saying that violence may be the answer to saving the US.

As the election approaches, can we totally discount the idea of a ‘civil war’ in the US?

Some say that this has all been a long-time coming. Jack Goldstone, an expert on Civil Unrest, practically predicted January 6th, writing alongside Peter Turchin less than two months before the 2020 election: “Is the US likely headed for still greater protests and violence? In a word, yes.”

In fact, Goldstone had already predicted over 25 years ago that in the 21st century, the US would elect a populist America-first leader who would inflict division and chaos onto the country.

Jack Goldstone, Professor of Public Policy at George Mason University joins this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ together with one of the top experts on fascism, New York University’s History Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the author of ‘Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.’

I'm still living overseas. Short story, I voted absentee this morning. I did my part.

How does it work for people living overseas, like are you still technically a resident of a specific state so you can vote for state/local races?

100%, yes.  Voted for local and state.  I'm registered in my most recent district.

Mike Lindell has gone theocrat, conspiracy theorist, election denier, and insurrectionist. Now he's going Nazi:

What a predictable pipeline, this is...
