Israel's self-conception, it wasn't the exclusive way that you could be an Israeli citizen.
And so you had Israeli Arabs, they were not always treated, you know, fairly or equally, but, you know, they could, you know, they could vote and they could, you know, take part in the political system.
And I thought that that was always a very impressive thing about the state of Israel, something that wasn't replicated in many of the surrounding, you know, authoritarian Arab countries.
And, you know, that's what I really fear is being lost under this particular right-wing coalition.
You know, they're more intent on making the Jewish identity and the specific kind of Jewish identity core to what it means to be Israeli, which I think is almost automatically exclusionary for people that, you know, aren't Jews in that fashion.
I don't think we've ever had an administration that has been this corrupt.
Biden was supposed to fix all of this.
You had a president that tried to overturn an election that was openly anti-democratic, was friendly to Putin and Xi and all the dictators in the world, and we managed to re-elect this guy.
I think that it's going to be really a tragedy if the Democrats don't manage to come up with something a little bit more attractive.
After the threats to Greenland, it's very hard to see how any European ally is going to trust the United States again.
The problem is deeper than Trump.
Trump has created a very toxic nationalistic right
And his successor, whoever that may be, is, I think, going to continue some of this anti-European policy.
So I think that Europe has a really big problem on its hands.
You know, Biden tried to do that when he won the 2020 election.
And, you know, you still have this reversion to this kind of Trumpian nationalism.
And so I think that the allies have to begin to see the United States, you know, in a way as a threat.
And then in the longer run, I think they need to do various things to strengthen their ability to act independently.
That begins with building up military capacity so that they're no longer as dependent on the US as they have been.
That's a really long-term issue that is going to take a lot of investment and a lot of time.
