Ya probably. They're currently run by pretty much the only democratic leader in the world who's worse than Trump. Israel itself is not bad, and Israeli people are not bad, and Jewish people are not bad, but the current government of Israel and the people that make it up are pretty much the worst fuckers on earth, and they've managed to successfully convince a lot of people that any criticism of them is criticism of the above mentioned not-bad things.

There are lots of executive decisions that Obama made that positively impacting the lives of many people, a lot of which Trump has been rolling back since he took office, like women's health directives, protections for homosexuals and transgendered persons, and an indeterminate amount of environmental changes. Despite ACA being what it is, it also helped a lot of regular people, many of whom are worse off now

A list of a lot more great things that Trump has been undoing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/08/24/what-trump-has-undone/.

Obama administration officials also promulgated and interpreted rules which had the effect of strengthening labor protections, cracking down on housing discrimination, and reducing carbon emissions, the latter of which is probably the single biggest deal in terms of net suffering caused or ameliorated over time.

That's some sick poo poo, but there are Israeli citizens and Jewish people in general who are against Israel's actions in Occupied Palestine. Just like how even in the Trumpiest states of the US, there are people who hate Trump and what he stands for, even if they're outnumbered.

This is not to defend Trump supporters or the people you mention here, of course. They're human garbage, not because of who they are or where they were born, but because of what they do and the horrible beliefs they espouse.

Remember when they attacked that relief flotilla, in international waters, killing some and taking hostages? And how, afterwards, they released photos of weapons they 'seized' from the ships, to justify it, even though the photos they released were clearly doctored and I seem to recall even had like the wrong timestamps?

We don't have to wonder if Israel is capable of engaging in false flag attacks and other shady poo poo like that, because the answer is 'yes, because they have.' As to whether they will do it this time, who knows. I think a lot still might hinge on how the EU and Iran react to Trump's latest Trump.

I felt like at least with Bush he had "reasons" for doing what he did and came at it in a position of genuinely wanting to help people. Trump is just a burn it down piece of poo poo that wants to help only himself, his rich friends and loving Putin.

Bush.

Was this supposed to be a trick question or something? The African American unemployment rate was 12.7 when Obama took office, 7.8 when he left. It was 8.2 when Bush took office, and he left it at 12.7.

BBC claims he has decided.

Trump withdraws from deal
Trump: "It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement.

"The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing we know exactly what will happen."

He adds: "Therefore I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."

"We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction. Any nation that helps Iran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the United States."

Like, this is really incredible. You think that a bunch of DoJ lawyers should have been put in prison because they were wrong about the law (in your opinion). That’s pretty vicious.
They used their technical knowledge of our legal framework to enable the Bush administration to circumvent the law. They undermined the rule of law, and while that alone should not mean you lose the protection of the law in the first place, if I have to prioritize who gets that protection and who does not, they're going to be a pretty low priority. And to be clear, we already have lots of people in this country who are effectively outside the protection of the law, and don't deserve it, so if nothing else I'd swap those people for Bush's lawyers. Let's have some cops shoot to death former members of the Bush administration at a routine traffic stop, and escape prosecution.
