As Trump steers away from war with Iran, Israel rediscovers cost of riding with him

After prominent antisemitic podcaster Tucker Carlson visited the Oval Office in January, a White House official told Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum, “Just trust the plan.”

It was also the approach that Israelis took toward the president on most issues. Trump and his advisers — especially top envoy Steve Witkoff — might occasionally have said things that confused Israel and even undermined its interests, but they trusted that he was a president who could distinguish good from evil, and was not about to be pushed around by Iran and friends.

“After prominent antisemitic podcaster Tucker Carlson …”

I love it. That’s what the liberals do, thry just attach something to you with every sentence.

“Tucker Carlson, fueled by his trademark hate” or something like that. Smear smear smear. Actually, it’s pronounced, “Schmear,” like they say at Einstein’s.

Sounds like the Times Of Israel is getting squirrely regarding their trust in Trump.

It’s wayyyyy past time for Israel to go at it alone. They have plenty of money, plenty of men, and nukes. Good luck! We have our own problems. Maybe they could help us liberate minnesota or chicago.

Power-mad Democrats are itching to gain more seats.

Everytime Israel says “Pay Me-US-Israel-Iran War,” ecstatic Democrats cheer.

Trump found out the hard way...... dancing the “Do Me” with bomb-happy Netanyahu in Israel......
months back, while US elections were held here, got all those Democrat candidates elected.

not to mention, this certainly has pushed Ukraine off of the back page into nothingness. I haven’t heard about Ukraine in quite a while. You wonder if maybe Russia had something to do with us, or at least they motivate

And so it begins...

If it comes to picking a side between Trump and Israel, which side will all the “I stand with Israel” loudmouths around here pick?

just about all Israeli media is anti-Bibi, and works 24/7 to imply a wedge between US and Israel. this was true under Biden, and now DJT.

That is not what is happening. The Regime change had begun and Trump uses the Media as the useful idiots they are.

Politics there is as insanely partisan as it is here maybe worse! Some say their Left taught our Left lawfare. Its difficult to get straight skinny from any of their media Right or Left.

I have never met a conservative Jew. They are left down to the last man, woman and child. They will grab onto that Titanic door and ride their leftist beliefs right into Davy Jones’ locker. To the core, left. i’ve never heard a good explanation of why. Because they’re not stupid in fact, not at all.

The media is schizophrenic.

This editorial is bogus. Truly a lot of TDS in the writer.

Wait a minute. I thought that Trump was Netanyahu’s puppet and took orders from Israel. Now he’s Tucker Carlson’s puppet again? This is hard to keep up with.
