NOW: Mark Levin fumes and demands the Trump administration "stop trashing, smearing, bullying the little state of Israel!"
"Stop cozying up to and telling us that the enemy regime in Iran is now more rational, more moderate, and a regime that we can deal with!"
"I don't know what's going on. But if people think they can bully a little country and people who've existed 4,000 years...into surrendering their defense...they got another thing coming. I think it's outrageous!"
"We used to see SecWar and Joint Chiefs Chairman tell of the fantastic marriage between our militaries in defeating the enemy. I am really appalled by this and I hope it comes to an end. It's not right, just or truthful."

Antisemitism is up here.
Donations are down.
Management ought to purge a lot of people. But they don’t and the site slides into irrelevancy.
There ARE still some decent people posting here. Thanks.
Thin skinned bump.
Supporting Israel is important to humanity because it is tied to democratic values, historical justice, regional stability, and the defense of human rights — not just to Israel itself.
1. Israel as the Middle East’s only functioning democracy
Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East, with free elections, an independent judiciary, religious freedom, and equal voting rights for all citizens. Backing Israel upholds democratic ideals and the rule of law in a region dominated by authoritarian regimes, which can have ripple effects on global governance and human rights Medium.
2. Historical and moral context
Israel’s creation in 1948 followed the Holocaust, when six million Jews were systematically murdered. A Jewish homeland is essential for the survival and self-determination of the Jewish people, and that preventing future genocides is a moral imperative. This historical trauma shapes Israel’s security policies and its right to exist is tied to the broader human right to safety and self-determination.
3. Security threats and human rights protection
Israel faces ongoing threats from terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and from neighboring states that do not recognize its right to exist . Israel’s defense is not only about its own survival but also about protecting civilians in the region and preventing extremist violence from spreading. In this view, Israel’s security is linked to the safety of millions and the stability of the Middle East
4. Defense of global values and civilization
Israel’s defense is a defense of “civilization” — meaning the values of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and equality before the law. If Israel were to fall to terrorism, it would signal to other democracies that such values are vulnerable, potentially emboldening further attacks on the free world
5. Strategic and humanitarian stability
Israel’s stability contributes to regional peace, economic cooperation, and humanitarian aid delivery. A secure Israel is a stabilizing factor in a volatile region, which benefits global security and human welfare .
In summary: Supporting Israel is important to humanity because it is tied to democracy, historical justice, human rights, and global stability. Israel’s survival and security are not just its own concern, but part of a broader commitment to protecting freedom, preventing atrocities, and maintaining peace in a volatile part of the world
“Many of the neocons who obsessed over it still wanted to stay in Reagan’s good graces, so rather than blaming him directly, they would say that the President was manipulated into paying his respects at Bitberg by the “evil” Pat Buchanan.”
They did. An added irony is that Pat Buchanan had nothing at all to do with arranging the Bitberg ceremony. He was still working at Crossfire.
The White House advance man who had arranged it was Michael Dever.
Buchanan’s sin in the eyes of the Neocon attack dogs was that he defended Reagan laying the wreath.
All this Iranian “peace and prosperity” comes at a steep price
for US taxpayers. Here’s the preliminary US cost of war with Iran:
The Pentagon wants $80-200 billion to cover costs of the Iran war including “Munitions Replenishment.” US and Israeli 10,000 bombing strikes rapidly exhausted valuable, high-end weapon stockpiles, and $billions are required to restock the arsenal for other global threats that might endanger American families.
High-intensity naval operations, ship deployments, and heightened troop readiness, ongoing troop deployments, personnel pay, and maintenance were necessitated by the extended wartime tempo. Pentagon officials have warned that without funding, they risk running out of operational cash by the summer and may be forced to scale back vital military training exercises and deployments to protect American families.
There’s Iran’s $300 Billion “Reconstruction Fee” (read bribe to come to the peace table): Under a “preliminary” US-Iran framework agreement, the US and regional partners (Gulf-area countries) outlined an “economic development plan” for Iran. US officials “clarified” that this is an “incentive fund” made up of private investments and petrostates.....NOT direct US government tax dollars.
Got that, America?
Plus Iran gets another $24 Billion in Frozen Assets: This figure represents “Iran’s own money” locked up in foreign bank accounts (due to international sanctions). Unfreezing these funds would only occur.......(drum roll, please)....... IF agreed upon during the “finalization” of the (cough) “peace agreement.”
Israel is still adding up its bill.....that’ll be a whopper. Tax dollars to fund Israel’s rapid delivery of artillery shells, precision-guided bombs, and other heavy munitions, Israeli military research and development, including using technologies to detect underground tunnels, billions more US tax dollars to fund post-war Israel’s “public health initiatives” and regional “environmental protection,” etc, etc, etc.
Some have said the current government of Israel is not Biblical Israel.
If you support the killing of innocent women and children, then your time on this earth is short. And you’re going to hell.
Some of us just became pro life some of us did not.
Being pro life means all life no matter who that person is.
I’ll stand up for the people in Gaza and Lebanon now. Even innocent Iranians like those little girls murdered at that school.
I don’t care what other FReepers think I care what Jesus thinks and I have to answer to Him one day.
So go on and wish the innocent dead if that is what makes your retched soul happy. You too will answer to Jesus for that. I wonder what you will say?
Need I remember you a song we used to sing as children?
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Jesus died for all the children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus died for all the children of the world
Shut the f up you jackanape!
A lot of women, good women, have a hard time dealing with evil. Men can and do deal with it better. That is why I am for repealing the 19th amendment. You are a perfect example.
