The latest Gallup Poll brings it to us. The poll shows that the attitude of Americans to the Israelis and the Palestinians has shifted and now favors the Palestinians. Little doubt this was brought about by the heartless cruelty toward Gaza civilians by the so-called \u201cIsraeli defense force.\u201d Watching a genocide in which entire cities are destroyed, women and children are shot in the head intentionally by Satanic Israeli soldiers, denial by Israel of medicine, food and water for bombed-out Palestinian civilians, and statement after statement by members of the Israeli government that the intention is to dispel Palestinians from Palestine have all contributed to waking up America about the alleged \u201conly democracy in the Middle East.\u201d Perhaps the Israeli-Trump military attack on Iran yesterday will contribute to waking up the peoples of the Western world.<\/p>\n<p>Americans have also noticed the growing curtailment of their free speech. In some states, such as Texas and Florida, an American citizen who criticizes Israel is disqualified from holding a state job or having a contract to supply the state with goods or services. Students critical of Israel\u2019s behavior are expelled from university. Foreign students are deported if they criticize Israel or support Palestine. University professors are dismissed. Corporate and media employees are fired. It finally dawned on part of the American population that Israel is canceling the First Amendment to the US Constitution. It is easier for Trump to expel by deportation from America, a foreign student legally in the United States who protests the Israeli genocide of Palestine then it is for Trump to deport an illegal alien who has no right whatsoever to be present in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Americans have noticed that president Trump represents Israel first and America afterward. It is an affront to national honor to have a president who kowtows to a foreign government.<\/p>\n<p>The escape of some Americans from insouciance has resulted in 41% of Americans sympathizing with the Palestinians and 36% with the Israelis. This is a dramatic change from 2019 when about 60% of Americans were aligned with Israel and only 21% with Palestinians. The strongest shift toward Palestinians is among Democrats and Independents.<span class=\"apple-converted-space\"> The Republicans with the exception of representative Massey and Senator Paul remain in Israel\u2019s pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are the poll results:<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/702440\/israelis-no-longer-ahead-americans-middle-east-sympathies.aspx\">https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/702440\/israelis-no-longer-ahead-americans-middle-east-sympathies.aspx<\/a><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There is a large downside for Trump in this development. The United States has spent the first quarter of the 21st century fighting Israel\u2019s wars against Arab states that opposed Greater Israel. With the orchestrated \u00a09\/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the George W Bush regime provided the excuse\u2013the New Pearl Harbor\u2013 for the United States military to eliminate seven opponents to Greater Israel in five years. The Bush regime claimed that Muslims were responsible and launched a war that destroyed Arab opponents to Israel\u2019s domination of the entire Middle East. \u00a0Using American blood and vast amounts of American money, Washington has destroyed Iraq, Libya and Syria for Israel. And now Netanyahu has his two- bit puppet, Donald Trump, \u00a0at work destroying Iran for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>So what is Trump to do? Polls indicate that a large majority of Americans oppose war against Iran. \u00a0But if Trump refused the mission handed to him by his Israeli master, he would lose the Israel\u2019s Lobby support, and alienate the powerful Israel Lobby and the \u201cChristian Zionists\u201d who comprise a large segment of MAGA America.<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 By going<\/span> ahead with the attack, Trump alienates those opposed to more war and to Israel\u2019s domination of the American government. With the midterm elections later this year, it is possible that by placing Trump between a rock and a hard place Netanyahu has destroyed the Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The pros and cons of Democrats returning to power are obvious. The pro is that Democrats are likely to separate American interests from Israel\u2019s. The con is that Democrats have taken an ideological position against \u201cwhite racist America.\u201d What the choice comes down to is that Trump represents Israel over Americans, and Democrats represent immigrant-invaders over Americans. The question is: who do you prefer for your ruler? The Israelis or the Muslims and the Hispanics?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"AufhDnUS1o\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/paulcraigroberts.org\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Donate&#8221; &#8212; Paul Craig Roberts\" src=\"https:\/\/paulcraigroberts.org\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=sD6jyvxLuu#?secret=AufhDnUS1o\" data-secret=\"AufhDnUS1o\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paulcraigroberts.org\/has-netanyahu-destroyed-trumps-presidency\/\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good news is that many Americans are waking up to the fact that Trump\u2019s first priority is not America.
