Yeah.

There does seem to be a meeting of the minds between the two extremes on certain issues—particularly the Israel-Palestine issue. Extreme Netanyahu allies and extreme Hamas supporters shake hands on the desire to have a general cataclysm in the region where one side or the other emerges victorious over the ruins.

At least one Palestinian-American I know is voting for Trump because he wants the Great Carpet Bombing you mention to happen—he imagines it will be less frustrating than seeing Dems support Israel. Really. :/

Netanyahu, as I recall, propped up Hamas in Gaza because he wanted them to serve as evidence that Palestinians couldn’t be trusted. Some Palestinians in the West Bank toasted with coffee when Netanyahu won the PM because it would show the world that Israelis couldn’t be trusted. They seem to deserve each other.

Extrapolate that lunacy to pro-Trump leftists in the U.S. It makes sense, in a bonkers way. :/
