President Trump is not a strong supporter of Israel, he is only a strong supporter of Trump. What’s worse is that in under three years, we will be earning for Trump as a supporter of Israel because who comes next will treat Israel worse than Obama.
And, that President will still be a better friend to Israel than the next Congress and the next. The Democratic party is dominated by anti-semites and the Republican Party is only slightly better.
The societal and political winds in the US are very anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. In fact, within 10-15 years, there very well could be a mass exodus of American Jews making Aliyah. Maybe that’s not a bad thing but in means starting today Israel must (maybe they have) become more defense independent, invest more in war technology, and must innovate aggressively to make Israel more important to the US rather than the current opposite.
As smart as JD Vance is, deep down, he’s an unwise hillbilly. As I said, on pprevious pages, Marco Rubio would be wise to resign, not immediately. That would be undignified and un patriotic, at this moment. But for him to endure the last two years of this president’s term, which likely will be very ugly, would be unwise for his political career and legacy, as well.
Thank you so very much for exposing these traitorous maniacs; yes, MKs can too be deranged and incompetent or worse......and the manner of electing MKs invites extremism and instability. Also, lots of your comments here are anti-Trump; alas, he is about as strongly pro-Israel as we will ever see in our epoch and his deal was a painful necessity, given all factors, including the USA elections.

Negotiation is tantamount to capitulation. Trump has played his Trump card and its turned out to be a dead card. The man who claims to have mastered the Art of the Deal has shown himself to be a fraud rather than the ultimate negotiator. The Iranians have played him for a sucker, taken the winnings, and left him empty-handed.
President Trump either forgot or never knew the difference between a business negotiation and a negotiation in the cut-throat world of geo-politics. Having played him for a sucker, they have not been disappointed in their assessment of the man. Trumps persistent bellicose stance threatening the Iranian regime with total destruction now falls on deaf ears. Like the United States ignominious retreat from Vietnam and more recently , Afghanistan, the throwing in of his strong hand while holding all the aces exposed Americas lack of moral fortitude and resolute determination to use its vast power to win a war. This is a case of a nation that has forgotten what it takes to win, addicted to a policy of containment ar all costs, has left itself naked and vulnerable to the stalking challenger, the Chinese Dragon.
Trump is no Churchill; in fact, he is an empty suit and will be judged by his inability to confront one of the greatest, most consequential issues of the current era and meet the challenges presented to him. Trump has shown he lacks the ability to rise to the occasion. A man of bluster and empty rhetoric. The future under his Presidency looks very grim indeed.
Really? In Afghanistan and Vietnam the US had strong cards to play? More fantasies from the endless war camp. Correct on Trump, though why Israelis ever thought he would be more than the weakest possible reed in a storm is beyond me.
Two points I was not advocating for endless wars but rather the opposite total war bringing the enemy to its knee in total defeat quickly and effectively.
As for the United States being Bankrupt off the back of paying for these so-called endless wars you may want to check on the Arab financial underwritng of Americas wars. Americas parlous financial decline has more to do with monetary mismanagement and social sending etc.
Obama and Biden were in a class of their own. Mendacious and ridiculous at the same time. For Israel Trump is in some ways more dangerous by his very friendship towards the Jewish State.
Here’s a thought on Lebanon. Why can’t President Aoun announce, as a good faith gesture to Israel, that Lebanon is canceling the state of war it declared on Israel in 1948?
He could then repeat that his country is not Iran’s vassal and that the IDF presence in Lebanon is the direct result of Hezbollah attacking Israel on its master’s behalf.
Lebanon needs peace to insure its prosperity and the first step requires that Hezbollah must be fully disarmed. Under the banner of “Lebanon for the Lebanese”, he should announce that his country’s future is not linked to any third party’s fight with its southern neighbor.
This is a dream, but why can’t the U.S. state the matter openly and clearly. As currently discussed in the media, the purported agreement with the Iranian regime appears to have conceded a Hezbollah controlled Lebanon to Iran, irrespective of its people’s and government’s wishes. That perception is easy enough to correct … unless it’s now formal U.S. policy, meaning Trump has become Obama 2.0 on this topic.

Which is worse; the deranged politician or the lazy, ignorant voters who installed them?

The USA has been literally bankrupted by your line of thinking......endless wars waged for no strategic gains......
