Former prime minister Naftali Bennett warned that Israel’s status in the United States “has never been so bad” and that it is being seen as a “leper state” in a lengthy social media post on Tuesday.

“The Democratic party hasn’t been with us for some time. We’re also losing the Republican party, whose support for Israel could once be counted on,” he wrote, though he credited US President Donald Trump with retaining support for Israel within his administration.

“Even those who have been our friends are having a hard time defending the State of Israel,” Bennett continued. “Israel is being seen more and more as a liability and burden on the USA and Americans.”

I’m sure AIPAC will do as much as they can to continue bribing American politicians. After all, that’s the only opinion or influence that matters: corrupt politicians who pull the strings.

American citizens haven’t mattered for decades.

Rogue state revealed. Amazing it took so long, but I guess that's what good PR / lobby can do.

They are Zionists so they will try every PR deception in the book to launder their crimes: sportswashing, artwashing, pinkwashing, greenwashing, even shedding liberal tears for their victims.

Don't let the evil bastards get away with this.
