Why I'm Giving Money To Donald Trump

Election Interference

The discussion on election interference highlights the tension between the U.S. and Israel, particularly focusing on Chuck Schumer's controversial call for new Israeli elections. Ben Shapiro criticizes Schumer's stance, arguing that it represents a form of imperialism, as Israelis are not currently demanding a new election 1. He points out that Schumer's comments are more about political maneuvering in the U.S. than genuine concern for Israeli democracy 1.

The US cannot dictate the outcome of an election. That is for the Israeli public to decide.

--- Chuck Schumer

Shapiro further notes that Schumer's call for elections ignores the fact that Israel has had frequent elections, unlike the Palestinian territories, which have not held elections since 2005 2.

   

Political Strategy

The political strategy of the Democratic Party concerning Israel is scrutinized, with Ben Shapiro arguing that it is driven by electoral calculations rather than genuine policy concerns. He suggests that Democrats are attempting to balance their stance to win votes in key states like Michigan, where there is a significant Arab American population 3. This strategy involves distancing themselves from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu while trying to maintain support from Jewish voters.

The reason they're doing this is they just don't like Bibi Netanyahu.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro criticizes the Biden administration's approach, particularly its emphasis on civilian protection in Gaza, which he views as secondary to the destruction of Hamas 4.
