After Hamas attack Trump appears to mock Israel, calls Gallant a ‘jerk’: Former US president also takes aim at PM: ‘I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,’
Times of Israel ^ | Ocrober 12, 2023 | Jacob Magid

.......“I said, ‘Wait a minute, Hezbollah is very smart. They’re all very smart. — The press doesn’t like it when I say that.

Trump reiterated his claim that Netanyahu backed out at the last minute from actively taking part in the killing.

.....

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. We were very disappointed, but we did the job ourselves, and it was absolute precision, magnificent, beautiful job,” he said. “Then Bibi tried to take credit for it. That didn’t make me feel too good. But that’s all right.”

Israeli officials denied that Israel was supposed to take part in the assassination beyond intelligence efforts.

this still happened on BIDEN’S watch. Biden’s State Department, Biden’s CIA and Biden’s Intelligence Centers.

The U.S. is not the world's policeman.

And if Mossad didn't see this coming, I don't know how you can blame the CIA.

And the media once again tries to split Trump from Israel. They hate that Trump is loved and people fall for the media every time.

What a totally ignorant response from you, but then that is what you always provide, ignorance.

Turning to Gallant in Israel, Trump said, “They have a national defense minister or somebody saying, ‘I hope Hezbollah doesn’t attack us from the north.’ So the following morning, they attacked… If you listen to this jerk, you would attack from the north because he said, ‘That’s our weak spot.’

That's an observation, not a hand it to Hezbollah, and it's after the fact as well.

Why Obama, Bush, and Bibi All Passed on Killing Soleimani

Quit acting like you are knowledgeable when you are not.

He could’ve just as easily said they aren’t totally stupid. It’s harder to spin that into a compliment but still gets the point across.

It’s great that he’s outspoken, but his choice of words could stand a little more forethought.

Most people will see a petulant teenage girl in an old man’s Freeper handle still butthurt about some petty grievance he has with Trump.

Specifically??

1- “You talk about the intelligence or you talk about some of the things that went wrong over the last week, they’ve got to straighten it out because they’re fighting potentially a very big force. They’re fighting, potentially, Iran,” check

2- “When they have people saying the wrong things, everything they say is being digested by these people because they’re vicious and they’re smart. And boy, are they vicious because nobody’s ever seen the kind of sight that we’ve seen,” check

3- “They cannot play games,” he continued. “They’ve got to strengthen themselves up.” check

4- He said Israel “let us down” and needs to “straighten it out” and called them weak, saying they should “strengthen themselves up.” check

5- “I said, ‘Wait a minute, Hezbollah is very smart. They’re all very smart. — The press doesn’t like it when I say that. I said that President Xi of China — 1.4 billion people. He controls it with an iron fist. — I said, ‘he’s a very smart man.’ They killed me the next day.” check

6- “Whoever heard of an official saying on television that they hope the enemy doesn’t attack in a certain area, unless it’s a con job. But in a con job, you’re waiting there ready… but they weren’t ready. They weren’t ready,” Trump said. check

7- “Say what you want, Israel was not ready. This was a big surprise. This was a terrible thing that happened. They weren’t ready. But if you wanted them to attack because you’ve got a million people with guns and you’re gonna blast the hell [out of them], then you do exactly… but they didn’t have that,” he added. check

That’s okay Trumpie. I won’t talk about how you bent over for Covid and took away our rights. And gave us the wonderful vaccination. Go walk off in the sunset.

--- "That's our weak spot."

A simple look to the map of Israel shows it narrowest in the north, at about only eight miles.

Ponder that. Now drive eight miles in any direction in your city or town to realize how short a distance that is. At thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, that's about fifteen minutes.

A weak spot, to be sure. Another weak spot. Biden-Blinken-Nuland are in office for some years now, and Nethanyahu is again in office.

The buck or shekel stops where exactly?

I don’t think so. I think Trump was sending Netanyahu a message to not go weak knees on this Gaza invasion. Likely because BiBi has gotten into that unity government with Benny Ganz. It won’t be long before Ganz will want to pull in the horns. The Fakestinian propaganda machine is already racheting up.

Well, I will leave it to others to do the obligatory "What he akshually meant wuz" performance art

Look closely at the sentence:

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. We were very disappointed, but we did the job ourselves, and it was absolute precision, magnificent, beautiful job,” he said.

That is not a sentence with regards to the election theft. That was the operation to take out Iranian General Soleimani he was talking about, which is clear to anyone with a brain. Bibi backed out of the operation at the very last minute & left it up to the U.S.

Actually, what is seen, is an ignorant want-a-be somebody, from North Carolina preening she is going to save her daddy's Gope party... I am reminded of Nellie Olsen of Little House on the Prairie, swishing her backside petticoats..

Apparently Gallant or someone else said it out loud, and the very next day they were attacked from the north. Not sure if Trump knew, or the Times of Israel misquoted him.

Bottom line is, that Trump is right that saying it out loud is very stupid & the person saying it is a jerk.

HCMAMA wants to pretend that she is a very knowledgeable person. Sadly she is actually uninformed on most of her posts.

Horrific news? Seriously, who on God's green earth did not see this coming ... Too bad those that played hail to a fake chief are now up to their eyeballs in blood.

In whose minds has there been one single shred of evidence Hamas is now civilized and could be ignored ...

Of course you're right about what Trump referred to regarding the statement in question.

However the fact remains Bibi was the first to congratulate Biden after the rigged stolen election. That left me and millions of Trump supporters to seriously question Netanyahu.

hcmama is being completely disingenuous.

never forget how Bebe was one of the first leaders to calling and groveling at Biden’s feet, kissing his ass as the fraudulent POTUS.
