As Trump steers away from war with Iran, Israel rediscovers cost of riding with him
Times of Israel ^ | 3-23-26 | Lazarus Berman

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.

How’d that turn out for Haman? Syrians and babylonians were not Iranians.

I’m glad you agree. So why don’t you retract your earlier statement? Even Lee Mordechai, a huge critic of Israel’s administration, claims no more than 70% of weapons and munitions used in Gaza were paid for by the United States. if you just said OK, maybe not every single one but the vast majority I’d be good with that. Just keep your facts straight.

I thought we supposed to be civil on this site, and engage in thoughtful debate?

I have never been a Democrat. I pre-registered as GOP when Reagan was president and I wasn’t even 18. When you’re on the losing side of an argument, just make sh-t up. Nice.

It is not rude to make character judgments when you are right. MAGA is America First. Israel, the Uk, the EU, Canada, etc. can get behind Americans when it comes to our blood and treasure.

It is often said in my circles that GOD will judge the USA as it treats Israel. But the REAL reason we have been judged is because we have the light of the Gospel. Israel does not. More knowledge means more judgment. And we let Marxism fester for decades, while the Church for the most part, belived that Polotics was too spiritual to get involved in. Reversial in the 1970’s and onwards is the only thing, with GOD’s help, America from sliding into a leftist nightmare. And they were one night away from doing it in 2016.

That is what all leftists say. Remember back in the 2010s when the Democrats all freaked out when they were named as socialist and communist? Fast-forward 15 years and the mask has fallen and they all proudly proclaim to be socialist. Leftist like you lie as easily as they breath.
