Apparently, there was a complimentary gift to Fetterman, except that one was silver.

Netanyahu Gifts Silver Beeper to Fetterman, Who Praised Explosions in Lebanon

Why a pager that explodes... This strikes me as a very odd gift, making me wonder about hidden meanings, or potentially back-stabs.

It’s very obvious this is the opposite of what you think.

Trump was very congratulatory and thought the pager attack was brilliant, as was pressing forward when they had the advantage.

The fact that it is golden is just very Trump.

I think it is kind of a funny gift, given in good intentions...:)

Is this any way to treat someone that gifted you a golden pager?

Trump’s Middle East trip leaves Netanyahu watching from the sidelines again

Illegals got gold in many forms. Free housing, medical, food, spending cash…

I'm not thinking all one way or another, just questioning the facts as presented in the news cycles we are fed (CNN, AOL, MSM, etc).

Perhaps Trump and Bibi are playing out some good-cop bad-cop maneuver, as another line of thinking.

The pager operation was a work of brilliance.
Absolute brilliance.

They are good friends, outside of politics.

They are just sharing an inside joke and a joint victory over a common enemy.

To impugn any other motive is silly.

And you are obviously very correct.

so because a source like AOL says it news and frames it in a certain way, does that mean it’s true.......

one good thing about me living in Israel is that you get to see firsthand how utterly absurd the media frames things from the actual reality....

sheesh

I agree. Nothing bad to read into this.

It will go into storage until the Trump Library is built.

Yep, I wish we would be a little more creative in so many things. I would think you could identify government leakers by using some creative ingenuity. You could capture illegals by telling them they need to make their way to the birder to receive their $10,000 prize, then send then to the other side of the fence.

The Israelis understand that they are involved in an existential conflict. They have nowhere else to go.

I liked it, and it highlights a personal touch and respect. I personally thought the pager attack was one of the most brilliant in the annals of warfare, and I would like to see a movie made of it...

So, the fact that this is a gift tickles me.

ha!
both Trump and Bibi have sense of humor...
(Trump’s shows from time to time, especially in some of his “trolling” of the commie/leftists... when he drives them MAD... ha!)

Agree. I have heard a sniper is the most humane weapon of war in an urban environment...because it is the most precisely targeted. That “Pager of Death” endeavor brought it to a new level.

Exactly right and obvious. Sheesh people don’t over think it.
