📣
I'm done.
For over a decade I've gone to the mat for Trump, lost acquaintances and even some family relationships have been affected.
He's was the best President in my lifetime.
That's all changed!

I love this Country, I'm American proud and True 🇺🇸.

What he's doing now is a slap in the face to millions of American's who love & support Israel, American Jews and Christian Zionists.
Let alone All of our children's futures being bought by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Anyone with a brain knows the Islamic Regime cannot be trusted, (there is no third tier). The Regime slaughtered tens of thousands of their citizens with a call from Trump for them Iranuan people to take to the streets, "help was on the way."
He Lied and they were slaughtered.

The Islamic States are giddy with their new pal, DJT who has turned his bsck on the only Democracy in the Middle East.

Personally, I'm infuriated, disgusted and I'll not trust him again.
I'm Done, Finished.

Am Israel Chai

@mikepompeo Facts! President Trump, pay attention. Qatar and Pakistan are not reliable partners.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

A deal with Iran must recognize that this regime has no desire to be a responsible member of the community of nations. They do not regret the last 47 years nor think it was a mistake to kill Americans. They are all radical Islamists.

Any funds available to the regime - whether paid to them directly, provided by sanctions relief or via releasing escrowed funds - will go straight toward rebuilding the IRGC military capabilities and its terrorist proxies. When your enemy is at its weakest - win.

[Scottrhawk @Scottrhawk555]

@marklevinshow I don’t trust Qatar or Pakistan.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

The former al-Qaeda terrorist who now runs Syria and has been slaughtering Christians is preferred to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon?

Just now Iran said no deal unless Israel leaves southern Lebanon. So they got the message.

Of course, Lebanon has said Iran doesn’t call the shots in Lebanon and is trying to drag them into a deal to protect Hezbollah.  Yep.

Meanwhile, none of us have seen the MOU. Israel says it has not seen the MOU.  Qatar, Pakistan, and Iran have seen it and helped negotiate it.

Thoughts?

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Here's the amazing thing about written agreements: they are comprised of words we can all read and then form opinions about! It's really neat! So release the MOU text. Now. Don't keep it secret and then complain that people aren't trusting your version of events.

[Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton]

Let me be clear: Israel has been a model partner to the United States in this battle against Iran’s radical regime.

[Throwback Iran @Tarikh_Eran]

Meanwhile incredible scenes unfolding outside of sofi stadium

Iranians are handing out t shirts with names & faces of protestors murdered by the Islamic regime on January 8-9

The IRGC wont be allowed to wash the blood of these youth through sports

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

JD Vance is going on national TV claiming that it's a great deal because the IRGC have told him that they are sorry for the last 47 years and now want to be friends with America if we give them billions of dollars.

Fool

Dangerous fool

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Mr. President,

The pager operation against Hezbollah was a masterpiece of modern warfare. Israel also executed a brilliant 12-day operation against Iran that left the regime in shock, its top generals assassinated, and the Ayatollahs held by the throat.

Yet every time Israel had momentum, whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or against Iran, you personally intervened and stopped them at the worst possible moment.

you were personally briefed by Mossad that defeating Iran would take at least a year of consistent pressure. Yet you pushed for quick results, changed the original plan, and turned what could have been a strategic victory into a strategic defeat.

Now, after signing a humiliating deal that buried the Iranian nuclear threat instead of eliminating it, you come out blaming Israel for taking too long and for how it fights.

The question of civilian casualties should be addressed to Hezbollah, not Israel. Hezbollah deliberately operates from within populated civilian areas, using civilians as human shields and endangering their own people.

This strategic failure is not due to Israeli incompetence. The main problem has been your repeated intervention and bad timing.

You don’t get to sabotage the campaign and then blame Israel for the results.

[Scottrhawk @Scottrhawk555]

@marklevinshow I think the problem is Trump desperately wants a deal at any price & Steve Witkof (Qatar’s tool) & JD Vance (hard isolationist) were willing to give away the store to get a deal. 60 days? The ayatollahs & the Revolutionary Guard will take anything they can get & break any deal.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

Nothing we do in terms of a deal will change the behavior of this enemy.  If you don't believe that you do not know what we are dealing with.  If you do believe that you know that for them deals are made to be broken.

Put aside all the idiocy and static about who loves whom and who does not.  That's the game of online thugs and bots. We are dealing with an ideologically committed terror state that has slaughtered thousands of our fellow Americans, thousands of people in surrounding countries, thousands of Iranians and, as President Trump said, sought nuclear weapons so they could actually use them to kill us.  

There was a time, not long ago, when we never negotiated with terrorists or terror regimes.  Today, we've dealt with intermediaries and now directly with terrorists.  And a senior administration official even declared some or many of them now believe their 47-years of murder, rape, torture, and terrorism was a mistake.  Pretty shocking.  This regime is still executing innocent young people at a record pace.  You wouldn't know it during the last several days.  They don't even come up anymore.  The reporters don't even ask about them.  

Exactly how has this regime changed?  Yes, former leaders are gone, but the regime remains, the ideology remains, the IRGC remains, and as you can tell, they are not rolling over.  We are much more accommodating than we were at the outset.  Let's not fool ourselves.  This is why all the pressure and berating of Israel and Netanyahu.  They simply cannot and must not accommodate the enemy as we wish, and in ways we would never tolerate on our homeland, or in ways the Arabs or Turkey or Pakistan insist on.  

We can't be browbeaten by online thugs into silence or sit ignorantly while all this is swirling around, and we wait for the actual language of the MOU.  We want the information and we want to express our opinions.  Again, this isn't about what team you are on or loyalty tests or whatever.  This is a big damn deal and we, as a people and a nation, want to get it right.  And as far as I am concerned, many of us are ardent supporters of the president and the administration and want to be helpful and provide our own input based on our experiences and knowledge.  Indeed, not everyone in government has all the answers and too damn many of them leak and push their own policies and agendas apart from the president's.  

I know for a fact that Donald Trump is a great and historic president.  I know he is a decent and compassionate man who cares deeply about all of this.  The same can be said about Benjamin Netanyahu, who lost his brother in war and was himself injured in battle.  The Israeli ambassador lost his eldest son in the early days of the war against Hamas in Gaza.  Neither of our nations are led by dictators or kings, like those that surround Israel.  And we are dealing with a death cult that has seized control of Iran and has more blood on its hands than can be measured.  

The Iranian regime has not and will never change its ideology.  And therein lies the problem, as nearly half a century of evil behavior has demonstrated and their own religious and political leaders and books and preachings make clear.  They are about a cause, a revolution.  They will not rest until it is exported everywhere, as Allah is said to command them.  That is the reality.  We are the enemy and must be destroyed.

Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it.  That's the way our system works.  I, for one, am glad about it.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi Blasts European Journalists & Politicians for Ignoring 40,000 Dead Iranians

I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe.

In the past two weeks I held two major press conferences — in Stockholm and Berlin. Over 150 journalists attended. We spoke for more than two hours…

And guess what?

NOT ONE of them asked about the 40,000 Iranians slaughtered on the streets on January 8th and 9th.

NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners executed in the last two weeks, or the 20 more currently sentenced to death.

I stood next to grieving parents who lost their sons… and not a single journalist asked them anything.

Let that sink in.

They don’t give a damn about my people. Instead they criticize America and Israel while ignoring the regime that’s been slaughtering Iranians for 47 years.

One EU parliament member even said Iranians aren’t ready for democracy.

To him and to all of them I say:
40,000 Iranians just died for democracy. They are more than ready.

So hear me loud and clear:

Whether or not Europe stands with us...
Whether or not your journalists do their jobs...
Whether or not your politicians
demonstrate the COURAGE to ACT,
I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY.

Even if we have to do this ALONE,
we will FIGHT until Iran is FREE! 🇮🇷

A reminder that the Iranian regime has not ceased its merciless crackdown against its own people for the crime of seeking a better future.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Vice President Vance: "If the Iranians abide by the agreement, it will change the Middle East for the next 50 years."

Who is going to tell Vance that terrorists never abide by agreements?

[Scottrhawk @Scottrhawk555]

@marklevinshow I believe the influence of Qatar through Steve Witkof & isolationist instincts of JD Vance account for at least some of this appalling turn. The ayatollahs are sworn enemies of the US & mass murders of the Iranian people. I don’t trust any deal that leaves ayatollahs in power.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

In a period of two-months, Israel has gone from a great ally and partner in war, fighting by our side against a horrible enemy that has killed thousands of our people, killed tens of thousands of their own people, and was a dire nuclear threat intent on attacking us, to Israeli PM Netanyahu being a difficult person who should be thanking us for saving his country from Iran and should get our permission if he wants to defend his people from Hezbollah and Iran, and stand down when his country is attacked.  

And just yesterday, Israel's PM avenged the execution of 5 American soldiers by taking out a Hezbollah commander/terrorist.  And only Israel has been killing Hezbollah leaders who murdered our Marines, soldiers, embassy staff, and more.  It seems to me a kind word is in order.  How does this make any sense?

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Why is President Trump so hell-bent on saving the Islamic regime after we have a historic chance to take them down along with their terror proxies Hamas and Hezbollah?

I just don’t get it… What am I missing?

[Aro Korol @arokorol]

It Was Supposed to Be History

I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.

I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.

Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.

That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.

For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.

The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.

Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.

I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.

What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.

My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.

That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.

Not because I have all the answers.

Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.
