No Helper for the State of Israel. Why is the relationship between America and Israel breaking—and who is breaking it?

The United States State Department website says: “Israel has no greater friend than the United States.” If this is true, Israel has no friends at all.

In February, Joe Biden (and the power behind him, Barack Obama) demonstrated in two obvious ways his enmity toward the Jewish state. In February, for the first time since late in Obama’s second term as president, the U.S. betrayed Israel at the United Nations Security Council. At about the same time, revealing comments from Biden’s ambassador to Israel suggested unprecedented meddling in Israel’s domestic affairs.

Why is America abandoning Israel?

How Netanyahu Is Making Enemies

Since returning to power late last year, a priority of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been to reform Israel’s activist Supreme Court—an unaccountable and partisan institution that has rankled Israeli conservatives for years. This has made him many enemies on Israel’s left (see WorldWatch, page 32). It has also caught the eye of the activist presidency in Washington.

“We’re telling the prime minister—as I tell my kids—‘pump the brakes,’ slow down, try to get a consensus, bring the parties together.” That comment came from the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, in a February 16 podcast with former Obama official David Axelrod.

The patronizing remark “as I tell my kids” is consistent with Obama’s and Biden’s openly disdainful treatment of Israel generally and Netanyahu specifically. Obama infamously brought Netanyahu into the White House through a side entrance, walked out on him in anger during a meeting and went off to have dinner, and meddled in Israeli elections. In 2021, Obama, through Biden, undermined Israel-Sudan peace negotiations to try to prevent Netanyahu from returning as prime minister.

In a later interview, Nides said, “I really think that most Israelis do not want America to stay out of their business.” In this case, “America” (Obama and Biden) want Israel’s Supreme Court to remain an unaccountable body with unreasonable control over the other branches of government. In short, they want Netanyahu to stop muzzling the court so that the court can muzzle Netanyahu.

somehow we need to let Israel know that breaking any trust with them should not be laid on the back of most of the American public, but placed on the backs of some or most of the Democrats. Being on a good basis with Israel is plainly spelled out in the Bible. So, where do you place your trust?

And to think less than three years my close Jewish friends in Israel were ecstatically happy that President Trump had done so much for Israel including acting as a force to get the Capitol of Israel moved to its historic location, Jerusalem.

So ecstatic were Jews about President Trump that they named a portion of the Golan Heights as Trump Heights.

President Trump was so successful in promoting peace, he was nominated for FOUR Nobel Prizes. Amazing.

A difficult case to make when the demonRats have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 Presidential elections.

Just sayin’….

You are right.
The same guys who chant death to the little Satan, death to the big Satan.
They’ve taken charge of America.
Notice our lost allies?
Notice our decline?

Soon we too will be targeting Israel.
Thats the trend line.

Netanyahu is trying to get rid if the cabal in Israel. He will get no help from the criminal gang currently illegally occupying Washington .

Biden is no friend to Israel. But then, he’s not a friend to America either, nor to freedom.
