If you don't support US military aid to Israel, what the regime is quietly attempting to do will unquestionably turbocharge your anxiety levels, and so it should.
Very accurate and informative article. Everyone tip toes around criticizing Israel and being labeled antisemitic. They use the holocaust card which was a horrible act, but look at how they are using the same tactics of genocide against their neighbors.
No matter the Administration, we always looked the other way and pretended we are blind and even defended atrocities, but folks, we are talking about American Citizens here that have been killed or imprisoned!
Our lack of actions to protect Americans says it all; Israel controls of our government
But we are now the super stupid! We lost any semblance of power when trump took the Pentagon and threw out the generals who know how to fight a war. We lost in the diplomacy front when he sent our best officials packing. We lost so much brain power in no time flat!!! Then he stuck really uninformed and uneducated people to do the work of the people he fired. And the general population basically just stood here and clucked around like chickens in a coup.
This is not the kind of training and experience that should be doing this. Marlin Stutzman knows farming, not US policy of this nature. It doesn’t pass the smell test for doing what is best for the US and American people.
Israel does what it’s told. This barmy narrative that Israel runs the US govenrment is very convenient for US policy makers to pretend “nothing to do with us”. Time Americans woke up to this proxy scam.
I respectfully disagree, Netanyahu has time and time again manipulated the US and this latest debacle is just one example I’m afraid. If you believe Israel does as they are told I fear you are deeply misguided.
Shaking Head … what is this world coming to…. Who to believe , who to fault… we need a world fact check… so everyone can regain trust while moving forward
Your anti-Israel pitch is sickening and unjustified. Israel is not a “rogue nation.”
Since 1948 Israel has defended itself against Islamic terrorists who are paid proxies of Iran.
There is only one historic homeland of the Jewish people: the Land of Israel.
In contrast, there are twenty-three “Islamic” countries in the world,
and the presence of Jews anywhere in the world are threatened with destruction and genocide, respectively.
The gruesome massacre of over 1,200 Israelis in their homes and at an outdoor concert on October 7th — akin to an attempted Holocaust by Hamas, one of Iran’s terrorist surrogates — was canonized and underwritten by “Ayatollah”-controlled Iran.
Make no mistake. Israel and the Jewish people are only the first to be destroyed. Christians and other non-Muslims are next.
Israel has not only defended itself, but it also fights in support of Western civilization.
Whether we agree or not with President Trump’s war with Iran, this is certain. If this war were to stop tomorrow, it would only be postponed for another time.
This conflict is inevitable, and it must be fought to defend Western civilization against barbarism.
Israel is not the enemy. It is the only democratic country in the Middle East, and a long-time ally of the United States.
The terrorist state of Iran is committing a holy war, a jihad, to destroy democracy around the world.
Iran has also murdered over 40,000 of its own civilians for demonstrating against the regime. Public hangings and beheadings of protestors are a daily occurrence.
Your condemnation of Israel and equating it with Iranian terrorism is totally unjustified, and a common fabrication from the Left.
This inevitable war must be won by the West. Otherwise, we will all have to convert to Islam or become “dhimmis”(third class members of an Islamic society) or expect
I always think carefully before responding to such a comment, because I endeavour to be respectful even when I am incandescent with rage at the audacity of such a predictable response.
I live in a democracy and as such I will always defend the right of anyone to disagree with me, as I do you.
This is NOT an anti Israel pitch, it is an assessment based on facts and events. I have written at length about it and on October 7th I went on record condemning the actions of Hamas as a barbaric war crime. An opinion later upheld by the International Criminal Court which I endorsed.
I have never and will never be silenced for speaking the truth regardless of the cost. It is at the heart of what I do. I have been verbally abused, had death threats and been subjected to endless accusations of being an antisemite.
I am not disputing for one moment that Iran and its surrogates are terrorists, including Hamas, so I’m sure you will understand my confusion as to why Netanyahu supported Hamas funding from Qatar to the tune of an estimated $1.8 billion between 2018 and 2023?
Let me help you with the rationale. He thought he had Hamas on a leash and their presence in Gaza prevented any possibility of a two state solution.
It would be a waste of my time spelling out all the holes in your statement because little would be achieved. What I will say is this: There will never be any justification for the tens of thousands of innocent children murdered in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran under the preposterous suggestion of it being ‘self defense’.
That’s before we talk about Palestinians killed in the West Bank and those terrorised in the occupied territories by illegal Israeli settlers given guns by the government.
Israel always has been, is, and will remain an apartheid state with a literal 2 tier justice system. I absolutely refute the suggestion that it is antisemitic to criticise the actions of the Israeli government. I reassert my view Israel is a rogue state, there can be no other conclusion drawn from their genocidal behaviour I’m afraid, as asserted by international scholars of genocide.
As for your attempt to frame this a holy war and that Muslims will kill us all, I can only smile at your comedic ignorance. Israel lost the battle for hearts and minds a long time ago.
While I respect your views, don’t expect me to agree with them, because in my opinion they are deeply misguided. Please rest assured I sleep easy with my conscience every night, because I am never afraid to speak up for the oppressed and the unheard.
Please don’t insult me by suggesting the Jewish community are unheard, because I hear nothing but their victimhood propaganda every day.
ALL lives have value in my world and monsters are equally rebuked by me. However, I’m afraid the holocaust card is frankly lazy, unfounded and an insult to the 6 million Jews who perished under the Nazis.
I’m sure you like me also mourn the 5 million non Jews who died in captivity under the same regime. These included Russian prisoners, gypsies, political prisoners and the disabled. As I said, I am noted for speaking up for the unheard.
So, your saying that any attack on Israel has been unprovoked, it would be like me saying that any Middle East attack on American interests can be ruled the same, except i can't! We have been regime changing, missle and drone striking, messing with their economics, taking their oil for year's.
Anyone who thinks different has not been truthful to themselves.
Netanyahu finely found a corrupt orange clown to do his bidding
And so has Putin, and so has Xi, and so have most all autocratic countries in the western hemisphere.
Chilling, in its documenting our subservient relationship with Israel

Read Wajeeh Lion's article about our Sovereign military no longer being sovereign. I wish it was unbelievable. Just like this Substack.
Thanks, I’ll take a look
we cannot vote for anyone who doesn’t pledge to kick Israel out of our government and military.
Wishful thinking I fear regardless of your affiliation. - Martin
Turbocharge people’s anxiety levels. Another thing not possible. At the highest rate they can be!
No matter the Administration, we always looked the other way and pretended we are blind and even defended atrocities, but folks, we are talking about American Citizens here that have been killed or imprisoned!

You’ll get no pushback from me Dianne - Martin
putin and netanyahu STARTED and PERPETUATED a WAR to stay IN POWER and OUT of PRISON!!
trump IS doing the SAME THING NOW with his TRUMP-EPSTEIN WAR in Iran!!
The three MOST HATED MEN in the World today!

that's ok we can disagree! :-)
In my view Israel exerts disproportionate influence in the USA. This is NOT good for either party.
i think that’s a perception that is encouraged, sadly.
Next up, North Korea, come on down; you have been selected by "The Price is Too High!"

Sorry, the war crimes need to end.
