SECRETARY RUBIO: The left-wing destroyed Venezuela. The left-wing destroyed Cuba. The left-wing destroyed Nicaragua. The left-wing has basically destroyed every country they've gotten ahold of in the hemisphere.
Support for Zionism is an American patriotic duty (and for true allies of America). China and Russia have a political warfare campaign to undermine it. My article today in @JNS_org.

Great conversation this evening with UK Opposition Leader @KemiBadenoch and Shadow Foreign Secretary @TomTugendhat.
I thanked them for their firm opposition to the hostile Labour Government’s announcement today and its series of anti-Israel policies since taking office.
I welcomed their support for the friendship with Israel and their commitment for the future relations between our countries. We know that we have many friends in the UK, but unfortunately we are faced with the ongoing hostility of the current Labour government.
I also thanked Kemi for her warm wishes ahead of the Jewish New Year.
Tehran warned Israel and the United States not to touch Ali al-Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. They called it a red line. It was Hezbollah’s mini-Pentagon in southern Lebanon: twenty years of IRGC money, tunnels, command rooms, Quds Force officers, and the last holdouts.
The IDF took it anyway. The network is cleared. The terrorists and their IRGC instructors are dead or running. The fortress is being demolished. Netanyahu said they pulled out the equipment and the computers.
Mohsen Rezaei, "Secretary of the Supreme National Security", promised Noah’s Ark if anyone tried. The regime promised a massive response.
Silence.
That is not restraint. That is a proxy empire that can no longer protect its own assets.
The Islamic Regime is dying in real time.
I predict a likely Netanyahu victory in the October Israeli elections. The Iranian regime, Arab Islamist dictatorships, the Marxists-Islamists, the Democrat Party, the Woke Reich antisemites, the UN, podcasters, and bot farm operators, will all be upset. And that is a great thing. Of course, it's up to the Israeli people. But it is my hope, my belief, that the Israelis will not do to Netanyahu what the British people did to Churchill after WWII -- that is, vote Churchill and his party out of power.
A Netanyahu victory is also important for our country. We are in the middle of a war with Iran, and there is no more steadfast ally anywhere in the world than Netanyahu and Israel. And despite the usual media efforts to divide our countries, Trump and Netanyahu have been incredibly strong leaders and long-time friends. The relationship is special and critical. We don't need or want allies in name only, which best defines many of the countries and their leaders in NATO and elsewhere. A Netanyahu loss will make matters more difficult for us and the Iranian regime, in particular, will see it as a huge victory on many levels.
Calling for genocide against Israel is despicable. Israel is a great friend and ally of the United States, I’d advise Qatar not to forget that.
The real question is how much are they going to shell out to try to paper over this one?
Israel is America's most cherished ally. We stand with Israel because her cause is our cause, her values are our values, and her fight is our fight. We stand with Israel because we believe in right over wrong, in good over evil, and in liberty over tyranny. We stand with Israel because that's what Americans have always done, from our country's very earliest days. - The Case for Israel

This is fascinating. (See link) I grew up in the same town, went to the same junior high and high school as Benjamin Netanyahu. I am 7 years younger. I didn’t know him or his family. They were in Philadelphia for a year or so. He would go one to be elected Israel’s PM. I was elected to the local school board while attending law school. That was enough of elective office for me. Bibi is the greatest PM in Israel’s history.
