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.

It started in Europe. My Great- Grandfather was a Socialist, but Anti- Marxist. Jews gravitated twoards liberalism, part of rabbinical Judaisms belive that man can help profect the World. I’m a Messianic Jew as were all the Apostles. As for the article, the Israeli media is as bad as ours. Bibi is the authority, and he has been nothing but praiseworthy. If this changes, THEN I will comment.

so you are saying that we wouldn’t have conservatism without Christianity, which is Jewish in its roots, and yes, you have a very good point. But that’s what I’m talking about. You can read the Bible and you can read about all sorts of very conservative, Jewish people. Heroes. I’m just wondering where they’re all hiding now, because all I see is left left left left left.

My family came because Europe was killing Jews. Then my Grandfathet had to go back and get his head blown off because Europe continued to kill Jews. Now Muslims have overrun Europe and threaten Jews again. You want to talk about ingrates? They are grifting mooichrts who should be kissing our a—s that we saved them saved them 3 times. My moderate Liberal family has left the Democrats Party in disgust, by the way.

Bibi is moderately right wing. He is hated for de- socializing Israel. Israel is the ultimate example of the failures of Socalism. I belive that the USA has a biblical mandate to defend Israel, but, THE USA IS NOT AT THE BECO AND CALL OF ISRAEL.

Are you so stupid to think that Israel could have exacted the current destruction of all of Iran's air defenses, missile launching sites, targeted headquarters, etc, etc, etc, that the US has been doing, all on Israel's own?

Take the US involvement out of that equation and tell me what the current state of the war in Iran would be..........

we aren’t allowed to discuss things like this, but I’ve always wondered what the holocaust did to the average Jewish psyche. I mean, you live in a country and then suddenly the people start rounding you up and throwing you into ovens. And then when it’s over, you just go back to living like nothing happened? Of course not. Something like that stays with you forever. And it was only really if you think about it, just a few years ago I mean it’s not an ancient history. And the world is ramping up now it’s gonna be even worse. Like you say, islam is taking over. But as the Bible teaches Japheth would dwell in the same tent as Shem and that’s certainly the case. All things being equal, we get along really well. These days, the world is turning on the Japhethites like little old me.
My theory about that is that we help each other. Israel uses Japheth today like muscle. Some big guy. Satan wants us out of the way to get to you.

What a F'n hypocrite. In a previous post, you demanded that Israel fight their own battles without any help from the US........

When Israel has God at their side, no one could stop them. now you’re telling me that they have trouble feeding themselves. Putting their little spoons up to their shaky lips.
Wouldn’t it be great if we woke up some morning and another country actually helped us with something. Anything. Wouldn’t that be a lovely day. What if someone sent us $1dollar wow

and what about Japan? They attacked us in cold blood, and what did we do? We built their civilization back and gave them all of our technology and.know how.
they took that technology and built quite as civilization and they bow and things like that but when it really comes down to helping us, we get absolutely nothing. Trump said the other day that we always go alone and that no one gives us anything and I don’t know, I think he’s right.

I think criticizing Jews and Israel is now acceptable but often goes too far

That said Israel is under fire quite a bit

I think second in receipts only to the UAE

I’d be nervy too

Iran proxies however weakened to the north

And Iran lobbing at will

Now Diego Garcia makes that realization even worse

Plus Bibi inhabits a precarious slot in Israeli politics it’s the norm for him

And yes like many here do it’s always smear Tucker time
