Well, you desantis supporters are trying to make desantis into some kind of hero for signing his name on a piece of paper....

He’s not a hero. He’s a good governor and a good friend to Israel. Glad he’s doing something instead of spewing hot air like most. I will give kudos to any governor with the guts to act rather than just talk.

I am acknowledging the good acts by a good man. You are bubbling over-the-top with venom for Governor DeSantis. It is quite a sight to behold your seething rage toward him.

Honestly, you are a terrible ambassador for Donald Trump. When I encounter you and the others around here who are hell-bent to ridicule and mock Governor DeSantis, just like your idol DJT does the same, I am reminded why I gave up on Trump.

Why does everyone tip toe around the Muslims? Isn’t Israel already their sworn enemy, one who wants to murder all of them? Why play this game of, “Lets not upset the Arabs” by bringing Israel into it.

You’d have to ask Geo HW Bush, Norman Schwarzkopf, and Colin Powell. It was an integral part of their Desert Shield/Desert Storm battle plans. Israel was itching to fight at the time, as missiles landed in their cities.

“Tell me Johnny, are you saying the U.S. did not want Israel as part of the coalition, because we were afraid it would make the Muslims/Arabs mad and hate the Jews?”

Yes, he is exactly right. We purposely asked Israel to stand down in order not to inflame the Arab streets. Google it.

Israel didn’t want to offend the Arabs in an effort to avoid making them angry and want to kill the Jews. Got it.

Odd how all these fine folks wasted their time detailing exactly what happened for your benefit and you chose to ignore it.

The Iraq war was B. S. / what a terrible comparison ....this crap has been a failsafe since the 70’s.....palestinians are fodder to the middle eastern muzzies...no bordering country will allow them entry?.....wonder why? Only money they can earn is to kill Jews and martyrdom ....pay to slay...does not affect me at all I am an American of Irish/Danish decent....I have no problem killing...but leave the brewmaster’s alone or we may have issues!

Because then it becomes a religious war, however else it started, and something like what we saa in Israel ten days ago might have happened back then. With an Israeli army deployed in Iraq as part of the coalition, any attacks at home would have led to calls for the army to return to Israel to deal with more direct threats. IMO.

And, as mentioned, if we wanted a coalition with Middle Eastern countries to go to war against Iraq, it would be impossible for Islamic states to side with a Jewish state against another Islamic state, however secular it may be.

“Israel didn’t want to offend the Arabs in an effort to avoid making them angry and want to kill the Jews. Got it.”

That’s right. You can be as sarcastic as you want, but facts are facts, as much as you seem to want to deny them. Google what happened (Israel standing down and staying out of the fray at request of U.S. and other countries, while not retaliating against rocket attacks that landed in Israel and just eating it). Don’t know why you wish to pretend that this wasn’t what happened when a little research on your part will answer your scepticism. Odd that.

He’s setting the bar very high for the other 49 governors and not a one of them is even trying to match it.

May God richly and abundantly bless FL and Governor DeSantis so obviously that NOBODY can not see it.

Relax. He’s making Biden look bad, and that’s a good thing. Recognizing that is not hero worship.
