No, it still isn’t.
Our problem is with our politicians who send our money to Israel (or any other foreign destination)

Do you think they're doing it because of the bribes or the blackmail or is it a combination of both?

I don’t really think either is a significant influence, honestly. I believe the blind support for pumping money overseas is the direct result of a single generation, which lived their entire lives in the post WW2/Cold War era, being in power for 4 or 5 decades now. The circumstances changed 30 years ago, but US politicians haven’t.

Honest question.. Are other Arab countries condemning Israel for the attacks on Gaza?
I might be wrong but I haven't seen anything but like I said I give the articles a light read..
Same for me. Haven't seen anything where the Arabs are up in arms over this. I think they hate the Palestinians, know they are evil and understand Israel's need to respond.

and what was our response to the 9/11 attack? Israel has every right to wage war until Hamas surrenders.
We didn't drop 2000 lbs bombs in highly populated areas for one. We lost a lot of soldiers because that was a line we wouldn't cross.

Dumb move on our part.
I put a lot more value on our people than the enemy.

But politicians like Mike Johnson are not of that generation. I'm going to stick with bribery and blackmail. Some I guess are just useful idiots.

Israel just suffered a brutal terrorist attack. A few of their citizens were kidnapped and are most likely being tortured as we speak.. those that are still alive anyway. Israel is trying to wipe out Hamas. Why is it our business to demand they stop trying to wipe out Hamas? Especially at the behest of pro-hamas American college students who are at the forefront of making the demands?
I don't think we should fund gaza or Israel. Just let it play out however it plays out. We don't need to wag our fingers at them and stick out nose in, demanding the situation play out how we want it to play out.

Our mistake. War is hell.
Don’t fight a war if you aren’t willing to win. If you haven’t noticed, we haven’t won any wars lately since we adapted this “fight how the UN says we should fight” approach.
I’m guessing you and Dwight Eisenhower or Curtis LeMay wouldn’t get along.

Mike Johnson was born and raised squarely in the timeframe, and he doesn’t have the power you guys want him to have anyway.

No, he's just a few years older than I am he's not a boomer. And I disagree he has power lots of it as speaker he's just not using it the way we would like him to because he's being bribed and/or blackmailed. If it were just some generational mindset then his positions on things wouldn't have done a 180 in just a few week after becoming speaker. It's not just him all of our elected officials are controlled by the men who control the money.

Who spent his formative years in the height of the Cold War and then his early political years in the post-9/11 era under the boomers. Those same boomers still hold most of the powerful positions in our government.

What would you like him to do, specifically?

Saying things to be elected Speaker and having the political power to actually do said things after becoming Speaker are very, wry different things. Especially with a practically nonexistent majority.
