In person for her US Republican Party voters, and standing in for Trump on Fox, and in Israel, is Stefanik (R-IL [not Illinois]), this morning on Fox News Sunday, repeating her speech to the Knesset basically: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/stefanik-defends-speech-israels-knesset-torching-biden-democrats-equivocation-equivocation
Which is not to be missed by you Trumpites/Zionist NatCons (I repeat myself)!
I wonder if her Jewish Fascist, I mean, Conservative, colleagues in the Knesset, gave her the reception her U.S. Republican/Conservative colleagues gave Netanyahu in 2015, as Uri Avery described so well: "Row upon row of men in suits (and the occasional woman), jumping up and down, up and down, applauding wildly, shouting approval. "It was the shouting that did it. Where had I heard that before? "And then it came back to me. It was another parliament in the mid-1930s. The Leader was speaking. Rows upon rows of Reichstag members were listening raptly. Every few minutes they jumped up and shouted their approval."
Maybe not quite so much, as they would for Trump himself!
But Stefanik is going all out to win Trump’s favor, as his fellow “Best Friend Israel(s) (Fascists) Ever Had!
Actually, here she is in the Knesset: "Stefanik calls for wiping Hamas ‘off the face of the Earth’ and touts Trump policies in speech to Israeli Knesset"For you New York Post writers and fans, you’ll be pleased to know Stefanik isn’t ignoring that readership!
Nor did she overlook censoring/punishing Columbia for its students having the effrontery to criticize Israel! A censorship that doesn’t seem to get criticized by NYP writers, even while regularly denouncing Biden for censorship of a less severe kind (I don’t stand for either, to be clear, but such hypocrisy disgusts me!)
Here is a (only) slightly less fascist Zionist account than the NYPost: So, “Vote for Trump” (if you “really” Love Israeli Fascism, Biden if slightly less love for them)
Israel Hayom hasn’t published its flattered account yet. On May 19, 2024, at 1:02 PM, egarris2--- via Salon <salon@listserve.com> wrote:
Rep. Elise Stefanik Slams Biden in Speech at Israeli Knesset The Republican congresswoman says the US should provide arms to Israel without conditions by Dave DeCamp
Stefanik and other Republicans have been furious with President Biden for putting a pause on one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs and threatening to withhold heavy weapons if Israel launched a major attack on “population centers” in Rafah, although he hasn’t taken any action as Israel continues to escalate in the city. She was referencing a prisoner swap deal the US made with Iran before October 7, under which Tehran was granted access to $6 billion of its own frozen funds that were transferred from South Korea to Qatar. Republicans claim that President Biden gave $6 billion to Iran, but it’s unclear if Tehran ever had access as the US and Qatar agreed to freeze them again in October 2023, not long after the deal was made. Stefanik declared that the US should provide Israel with “what it needs, when it needs it, without conditions to achieve total victory in the face of evil.” Despite the Republican outrage at President Biden, his administration has promised that Israel will get every penny of the $17 billion in new military aid that was recently authorized by Congress. Stefanik praised former President Donald Trump for his “historic support for Israeli independence and security.” Trump has been running on an extremely pro-Israel platform and claimed President Biden “abandoned” the country by issuing a warning about Rafah. Stefanik also slammed American college students who are protesting the Israeli slaughter in Gaza, as she has been leading the charge in Congress in making accusations of antisemitism despite the fact that many Jewish students are participating in the protests. “I led the charge to expose this moral rot of antisemitism infecting our supposed most elite higher education institutions,” she said. -- Salon mailing list Salon@listserve.com https://mlm2.listserve.net/mailman/listinfo/salon
