Speaking to Christian Zionist group, Florida governor and Republican US presidential candidate pledges support for Israel.
Washington, DC – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has reiterated claims that the West Bank is not occupied, suggesting that Israel should be able to continue to build settlements on the Palestinian territory without interference from the United States.
Speaking to Christians United for Israel (CUFI) on Monday, DeSantis underscored his pro-Israel bona fides, including his efforts to crack down on companies that boycott the US ally.
Why would you reevaluate your position when you’re getting exactly what you want though? If you think he’s accidentally stumbled into fascist support, you’re blind. He’s specifically targeting fascist support. It does him good; I personally think he also truly believes in fascism, but either way, it does serve his goals.
Not DeSantis. He’s obviously fishing in the right edge.
I’m talking about Israel, which vehemently denied being fascist and would call anyone anti-Semite who claimed otherwise, last time I checked. I admit I wasn’t extremely thorough in my research.
You mean the Israeli government lead by an extremist right-wing party who is trying to dismantle judicial oversight over executive and legislative power? Why would they be opposed to support from similar political groups in the US?
Yes, those. Again, it’s not a topic I’m actively following, so I’m not aware of them admitted to being fascists.
