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.

What’s more important is what the holocaust and revulsion of it did to white western Christian civilization

It weakened its ability to defend itself and put guilt at spinal tap 11

Jews have forever been at odds with whatever host nation they inhabit

Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable lends itself to agitating lol

The holocaust increased their fear of what happens when the host goes crazy

And with good reason

No matter how much I oppose them and wish them vanquished politically I certainly understand why leftist Jews see a potential camp guard in every white Christian woodpile

Even the adoration from dispensationalists would make me nervous were I a Jew

You are such a delight. Here, read this:

because, notwithstanding our friend cowboyusa the Messianic Jew and all-around good guy, these are the folks we have to deal with every day. The Soros’ and the Schumers, and Hollywood and on and on. They say racism is the sin of noticing things.

I kinda noticed.

oh yes of course, the guilt. And the Israelis do use that. Manipulate. to be honest. Guilt is infinitely more powerful than explosives.

U.S. military aid to Israel from October 2023 – September 2025 totals about $21.7 billion. Total IDF expenditures since that time is around $70 billion, so I don’t think you’re doing your math correctly.

How far back? Did we pay for F-35s in 1948?

Agreed. The next generations holding power will be far less amenable to their leash than the ones in power currently

"Israel rediscovers cost of riding with him"

Hmmm. So it's Trump's fault?

And what about the 60 years of uninterrupted aid to Israel? Face it, America owes nothing more than friendship to Israel.

The ebb and flow of this affair and the lies and subterfuge are moving so fast the press can’t keep up with them or the changes. Same for the markets.

“They are left down to the last man, woman and child.”
That one is easy. All the morally smart and good breeding stock have been systemically eliminated over the past centuries.
What Israel is left is with is leftist political idiots.

“Their cost” is that we keep giving ‘em billions of our $$$ & sending our children to defend them.
