Neocons are of course greatest friends of right-wing Israelis. Not so with leftist or centrist Israel.

Add to that how Trump, or in this case Jared Kushner..., has dealt with Saudi-Arabia.

Now the Saudi-Qatar rift is actually itself a great example of how bad Obama was in the Middle East. Just imagine if Nato allies like England and France would start arming different sides in some conflict and giving financial aid to different political groups in a country.

For the US the logical step would be take the lead here ...when the countries do assume that they are allies of the US (with Qatar having CENTCOM's main base there). Actually Tillerson did echo this view called to ease of the tension between the two side, but that of course wasn't the official policy in a Trump administration. As the Saudi's and the UAE have Jared Kushner (or his father) in their pocket, no wonder that then Trump echoes slavishly the Saudi viewpoint and accuses Qatar of funding terrorism (as if the Saudi's wouldn't have done that).



Money talks in the Trump administration.

Even the most lefty wefty Israelis are Zion First, and the Neocons are actually way too lefty wefty for the Israeli right, the Israeli right is the Original Alt-Right.

The Israeli right has moved well to the right of the American Neoconservative center, the Israeli left are basically just Democrat party flavoured Neocons for all intents and purposes, essentially Clintonistas, Labor, Hatnuah, Yesh Atid, and Kulanu, that's basically the Israeli proxy for the Democrat party, broken into four factions, if you look at their platforms, it's all the same shit the Democrats peddle, ain't no hardcore lefties, basically the same urbane bourgeois panty waists, except with universal conscription.

Oh, they are all surely Zionists (even if there are post-Zionists too, even if the term is usually used as a derogatory term by the right-wing Zionists). And anyway, why wouldn't Israelis be for the existence of the modern state of Israel?

But in truth there are differences. Revisionist Zionism which Bibi Netanyahu's party is about is different from Liberal Zionism and especially Labor Zionism, which is for restarting talks with the Palestinians.
