Trump now faces a pivotal choice: statesmanship in pursuit of U.S. interests or subservience to Israel’s radical government.

Do you accept this basic premise of what you posted?

Okay, but how about Iran’s war on Israel?

The entire premise of this overly written poorly thought out screed is wrong.

Nonsense.

It is Iran's War on Israel. They admit that they want to kill every Jew. And they have paid mercenaries to Kill Jews for 40+ years.

Oct. 7 triggered a hot defensive war by Israel against the Iranian surrogates Hamas, Palestinian Authority, Hezbollah, and Houthis. They are all Terrorists, all supported by Iran.

Israel has a right to defend their existence.

The USA has helped balance the defense of Israel.

If I am not mistaken, there were several dozen American citizens who were murdered in the October 7th attacks, and there is at least one still alive and held hostage, with perhaps a dozen unaccounted for and probably dead in captivity.

I fully support Trump’s bombing of the nuclear facilities in Iran, but any additional help we give Israel is justified in my position by the fact that we have Americans known taken captive and still alive, and a number who we know were taken but whose fate is unknown.

When I read it, my impression is exactly the same as the one you had. I reject the entire premise, as you do.

It seems like it grasps at every single loose (or not loose) thread to justify cutting all material aid as well as moral support to Israel.

<< Israel’s radical government. >>

I’m guessing the only type of Israeli government this author (and those of his ilk) would approve of is one that commits national suicide by surrendering to their jihadi enemies .

What absolute tripe. Almost every sentence of substance is factually incorrect. Who is the moron who wrote this article? Are they some blue-haired antifa liberal from Portland?

No kidding.

The preeminent ‘stupid war’ is the nearly 50-year-old one which EVERY president since carter has ignored...except DJT.

And he just sent a deafening message to not only the ayatollahs, but our enemies everywhere.

That stated, our weakness is our enemy within (no need to state the obvious).

Unfortunately, when the topic is Israel, there’s no shortage of nutcases on the right whose views are barely distinguishable from commie Antifa types.

It’s the horseshoe theory in real time. People on the left and the right go so far to the extremes they eventually meet at the same exact place. I guess it’s not surprising that they meet when it comes to Jew-hatred. It’s vile, and it’s a stain on this forum.
