46. Both our countries have lost whatever good will and favored brand status and will suffer for it.

Mon Mar 9, 2026, 09:47 AM

Monday

We and many I know boycott any brand or investment that could benefit Israel. If you look at foreign investment in Israel and now, since Trump 2.0, the US it has been markedly in decline. The economic story is one side of the coin but the other is international politics and cooperation which is also no longer favoring either country. While Trump can threaten foreign governments, individuals and businesses in those countries still get to do what they want. Like no longer buy our wine, spirits, cars, military hardware, professional services, stocks, bonds, ag products and on and on. Plus, the Iranians as a Muslim based culture are not going away. Nor are the Palestinians. Do the current actions decrease the risks to Israel and the US? Only in the short term but at great cost to our image and pocketbooks.
