not to mention after alientating the world you need anyone to trade with youDan Caldwell, who was forced out of the DOD during Hegseth’s Signalgate disaster, wrote on X that the joint air force operation was being blown out of proportion.
“The freak out around this is of course totally unwarranted since this is actually a pretty common practice with countries that buy and operate a lot of U.S. military aircraft. Singapore has a similar facility and detachment for its F-15 training unit at this very same airbase,” Caldwell said.
MAGA Melts Down Over Trump Giving Qatar a Military Base in U.S.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Qatar would build an Air Force base in Idaho.
From what I have read, the "freak out" seems to be coming from MAGA....
In any case, Americans should be grateful the Qatris are buying American weaponry and spending money to support the local Idaho economy. Isn't that all part of the wonderful military industrial complex?
It's switcharoo time again. Now the Right is pro-Islam and the Left is now anti-Islam (while also still being anti-Jew).
Not according to news reports that Jewish students have been mistreated and abused on college campuses by the pro-Palestinian left. And Antisemitism in general from the left.

Technically true, the jet is to be upgraded and maintained by taxpayers but for Trump's personal use, even after he leaves office. How many Air Force Ones went to presidential libraries (this one doesn't even exist yet)?
You are equating anti-genocide with pro-Hamas and antisemitism. Being against Zionist expansionism into Gaza and the West Bank is not "anti-jew".I'll field that question... (and even with a left-leaning source)
Pro-Palestinian Group at Columbia Now Backs ‘Armed Resistance’ by Hamas
Columbia University Apartheid Divest has withdrawn an apology it made last spring for a member who said “Zionists don’t deserve to live.”www.nytimes.com
Per the NY Times article:
Citing revolutionary thinkers, like Vladimir Lenin and Frantz Fanon, it explained how solidarity was essential with members of the so-called Axis of Resistance — which includes Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas — because they oppose imperialism.
Since then, the group has praised a Tel Aviv attack by Palestinian militants that killed seven people at a light rail station on Oct. 1, including a mother who died while shielding her 9-month-old baby. It also praised Iran’s missile attack on the Jewish state that began that evening, calling it a “bold move.”
On Tuesday, the group said it rescinded an apology it made last spring about the behavior of Khymani James, a student who had said in a disciplinary hearing that “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” and, “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”
Mahmoud Khalil was a quasi-leader and spokesman for that group, and people on the left were throwing a hissy fit about him being in line for deportation.
Does that sufficiently answer your question?
No good, that was published in 2020 before the left's mega pro-Palestine anti-Israel craze.The bottom line is that antisemitism in politics is not a right-wing or left-wing issue; it’s about right and wrong. We must encourage all politicians across both sides of the aisle to universally condemn antisemitism—full stop.
View attachment 371440The State of Antisemitism in America 2020: AJC's Survey of American Jews
The State of Antisemitism in America 2020: Survey of American Jews, conducted by the research company SSRS, is based on telephone interviews carried out September 9 - October 4, with a national sample of 1,334 Jews over age 18. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.2%.
The left is not anti-jew any more than the right. The idea that it is is a lie. Not even Jewish people agree with you.
(Edit: a word)
They're news reports and the statistics that were posted are outdated. The unanimous 'reality only exists on a chart' deal from the left is truly bizarre. Might as well tune out everything else and only look at slide shows of bars and squiggles.
I've have never been Anti Jewish or Muslim. But for years, I've heard the right complain about Muslim and Muslim countries being terrorist. But I guess Muslim and Muslim countries aren't any more.
Trump finally embraces Islam like the Left has, and so now of course the Left is now doing a 180 and going on about Muslims being terrorists. Hilarious.
