Re: [Salon] Netanyahu's Mouthpieces Turn on Trump, Revealing a Deeper Israeli Ingratitude

JD Vance is not changing the conversation about Israel in the US. He is changing the entire paradigm:
He is reminding the Israelis that they are alone and - though he doesn't use this word - much disliked internationally. Israel should not undermine the only strong friend they have left.
"If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left."
And, he is reminding them of their utter dependence on the United States.
Because 2/3 of the weapons that have protected Israel (!!) "have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars."
As a point of comparison, no one in the Biden admin ever spoke like this about Israel when Netanyahu was blowing through Biden's so-called red lines on Gaza...
