Britain originally supported the Jewish cause in Palestine with the Balfour declaration, but later moved in a different direction.

France supported Israel but later did the same.

America has supported Israel for decades but now is moving in a radically different direction.

If Trump wins the up-coming election, I believe he is a true supporter of Israel for no other reasons than that he recognizes that Israel's foreign policy interests are the same as America's and also respects Israel's achievements and competence (not because of any mysterious Zionist control, sinister Jewish influence, or desire to get votes). In his shift of focus from the Palestinians to Iran, in his indifference to the "Arab street" and to international reaction when recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and his recognition of Israel's right to the Golan Heights, Trump has shown that he knows how to recognize and follow good advice. This of course means ignoring the advice of many foreign policy and military experts, many of whom are incompetent idiots completely out of touch who have led America from defeat to defeat for the past sixty years.

His re-election - if it occurs - will give Israel four more years to consolidate their position as much as possible and maybe even permanently resolve the Iranian issue, which would strengthen their position immeasurably. But American support after that is by no means to be counted on, as we can see from the current administration.

Under ordinary circumstances and in a fair election Trump would be a "shoo-in" (which maybe comes from "sure win"). However, blatant cheating in the last election, orchestrated from the highest levels and violating or illegally altering state election laws, shows that a fair election in 2024 is by no means a certainty.

To give one example: The Constitution states that the state legislatures are to make the rules for presidential elections (Article II, Section 1, Clause 2). In Pennsylvania, a key state that Biden won, the Democrat dominated State Supreme Court illegally altered state election procedures by judicial fiat months before the election (compliant state executives made no objection). Changes such as eliminating signature requirements and postal marking requirements, and obstructions of Republican poll watchers were obviously intended only to facilitate cheating and have no other justification.

A Pennsylvania Senate hearing three weeks after the election received sworn testimony of a ballot dump that gave Biden 570,000 votes to Trump's 3,200, a ration of 99.4 to 0.6. Biden's winning margin was about 80,000.

"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States Supreme Court. The four states exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election." https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/ag-paxton-sues-battleground-states-unconstitutional-changes-2020-election-laws

All four of those states illegally changed election laws to facilitate cheating, and all of them went for Biden. This is being coordinated from the highest levels, and we can be sure that Democrats, who have complete contempt for law and democracy, will stop at nothing to keep Trump out of the White House.
