Can anyone point me to a politician in the West, with executive power and not a legislator, who mouths all the usual bromides about support for Israel, but who after getting into power, did absolutely nothing on the issue, or perhaps actively worked against Israel's foreign policy interests?

Populist leaders might- i think this is why globalist hate them: they put their country's interests first when things get complicated
Along those same lines about populists, has Bolsenaro drank the Kool-aid?
That's what i was implying to examine actually
What's the difference between a "Populist" and a"Nationalist" ?
Probably should have said nationalist technically. The difference is in the method. Populists appeal to the interests of the population whereas nationalists to the national state.
OK, so what's the difference between "Democracy" and "populism" ?
Any thoughts?
Democracy is rule by majority interest not necessarily by popular interest. Also populism implies the opposite is special interests this ie. ant-"elitism". It can be used both by the left (eg Obama) and the right (ie trump)

What's the difference between a "nationalist" and a "globalist" ?
I assume it's possible to be globalist AND a populist, correct?
But can someone be anti-globalist without being a nationalist?
Sorry to digress... just curious to get some opinions on this issue.
Globalist use arguments that nation states should forgo their national interests in lieu of global good. For example, developing basins shouldn't be allowed to industrialize because it's bad for the -economy- i mean the environment.
