JD Vance said Israel was “built with American money.”
That sounds great to people who learned Middle Eastern history from campaign slogans.
But it is not history. It is political theater from someone who discovered Israel yesterday morning.
Israel was not built by an American check.
Israel was built by Jewish money, Jewish labor, Israeli taxes, Zionist institutions, loans, diaspora donations, Israel Bonds, German reparations, austerity, immigration, sacrifice, industry, agriculture, and people who did not wait for Washington.
Long before Israel existed as a state, Jews in the land were already building towns, farms, kibbutzim, schools, universities, banks, defense groups, factories, hospitals, roads, and national institutions.
Before “American aid,” Jews put coins into blue JNF boxes.
Before billion-dollar defense packages, Holocaust survivors built a country from tents, ration cards, sweat, and trauma.
In 1948, when Israel declared independence and five Arab armies invaded, America did not “build” Israel’s army. America recognized Israel, which mattered, but the U.S. also supported an arms embargo.
Israel survived its first war not because America built it, but because Jews fought for their lives with too little money, too little ammunition.
So where did the money come from?
From Jews in the diaspora.
From Keren Hayesod.
From the Jewish National Fund.
From Israel Bonds.
From Israeli taxpayers.
From loans.
From German reparations.
From austerity.
From exports, agriculture, factories, innovation, and people working like their lives depended on it.
In 1951, Israel launched Israel Bonds to raise money from Jewish communities and investors abroad. That was not foreign aid. That was a young state borrowing money, building infrastructure, and paying it back.
In 1952, Israel signed reparations with West Germany. That money helped the young state absorb hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors and immigrants while recovering from severe shortages.
And Israelis themselves paid the real price.
The austerity years were not a slogan. Israel absorbed mass immigration, built housing, roads, ports, schools, hospitals, factories, and an army — while citizens lived under rationing, taxes, shortages, and a controlled economy.
Israel was not born because America clicked “send payment.”
Yes, America later became a crucial ally.
Yes, American military aid is important.
Yes, real friendship deserves gratitude.
But there is a massive difference between helping an ally become stronger and claiming you built that ally.
American aid helped strengthen Israel.
It did not create Israel.
By the time U.S. aid became central to Israel’s defense, Israel had already been founded, survived wars, built institutions, absorbed millions of immigrants, and turned itself from a poor country under rationing into a serious economy.
That is the part Vance wants to erase.
Israel was not a Washington real estate project.
Israel was not a startup that got seed funding from America.
Israel was not a charity case with a flag.
Israel was a nation that came home, built before it had sovereignty, fought before it had enough weapons, absorbed refugees before it had enough houses, built an economy before it had enough foreign currency, and became strong before American politicians started taking credit.
Today, Israel is one of the world’s most advanced economies. Its high-tech, cyber, defense, medical, agricultural, and AI innovation help the United States and the free world.
That did not come from foreign aid. It came from human capital, education, military necessity, research, risk-taking, and Jewish survival instinct.
America is an important ally.
But America is not Israel’s parent.
America is not Israel’s owner.
And America does not get to erase 3,000 years of Jewish identity and 78 years of Israeli sacrifice with one cheap populist line.
Israel was built with Jewish money, Israeli hands, Israeli brains, and Jewish blood.
America helped.
Israel built.
There is a huge difference.
🚨HOLY CRAP!!!
ANOTHER MASSIVE "teen-takeover" occurred in downtown Houston last night where over 500 "teens" SWARMED downtown...
...AND THEN BEGAN PUNCHING EACH OTHER, THROWING ROCKS, JUMPING ON CARS AND MULTIPLE REPORTS OF SH0TS FIRED!!!!
WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?!!!!!!!!
🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!
Over 300 "teens" swarmed a trampoline park outside St. Louis for an internet "meme" event...
...and it exploded into EIGHT FIGHTS, rock-throwing at police, a 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL caught with a BUTCHER KNIFE!!!
Police attempted to break up the fight and then the "teens" poured into the nearby Aldi and Walmart.
They threatened customers. and then they started DESTROYING THE STORES!!!!!!
And when police showed up AGAIN to restore order?
The kids turned on the police and started PELTING THEM WITH ROCKS, screaming threats, and refusing to leave.
It took MULTIPLE police agencies to shut it down.
The owner of the trampoline park had only one question:
WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?!!!!!!!!!
So… we’re expected to believe that in California, out of three candidates, the third place candidate, who conceded her campaign because she was mathematically eliminated from the run-off, suddenly received tens of thousands of votes from mail-in votes which all came in *after* Election Day, while the other two candidates received no late mail-in votes, and the second place candidate (who was surging as a Republican candidate in the bluest state in the country) is now in third place and mathematically eliminated from the run-off.
… and we’re supposed to trust that this is an honest and true election.
If you’re not angry about this, you need to be.
Democrats could have let Spencer Pratt take 2nd, then easily defeated him in Nov:
"See, our elections aren't rigged. We let a MAGA friendly win".
Instead, they have fomented total unified visceral utter disgust. The Nation was glued to every single count, watched a 7%-point lead evaporate days after the physical voting ended.
The Establishment fucked up (John Thune, the most hated man in America). They treated this like a sleepy, localized primary that they could manage through standard, bureaucratic slow-rolling. Their ruthless public pursuit of power blinded them that entire country is hyper-sensitized to election integrity RN (thanks be to Trump).
By pushing Nithya Raman past Pratt by a razor-thin margin of 3,113 votes on a Sun. night, they lit a powder keg under the Nation, a 11.0 earthquake.
BS you say?
Read any comments, any local national MSM or any few daring to defend CA elections, on any SM platform. The vitriol of disgust hatred utter contempt for Democrats & RINOs corruption has unified a once deeply divided country.
They thought they were quietly securing a predictable Bass vs. Raman runoff for November. Instead, their smug pretentious Marie Antoinette-esque hatred brought together — the Left, the center, the Right — a shared outrage, turned a local mayoral primary into a national symbol of institutional corruption. They underestimated the public's boiling point, and now they have no idea how to contain the blowback. They so fucked themselves. Psychopathic doesn't even come close. They have healed a broken polarized country, once unimaginable.
Thank you Spencer for your unwavering courage. Thank you Trump for your fierce bellicosity. Thank you Dumocrats for destroying your own party. Thank you Thune, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis... the most despised humans in Nation.
The “chutzpah” of those advocating for these heinous acts of terror must be silenced and held accountable.
An 82-year-old Holocaust survivor, Karen Diamond z”l — a woman who survived the fires of hell in Europe, who rebuilt her life in America seeking safety — was murdered by fire in Boulder, Colorado.
A man walked up to peaceful Jews marching for the release of Israeli hostages and hurled Molotov cocktails, screaming “Free Palestine.”
Karen suffered horrific burns and later died from her wounds. Other innocents, including another Holocaust survivor, were left scarred for life.
And now? Some pro-Palestinian student group at CU Boulder — on the anniversary of this horror — declares the firebombing “justified” and demands the killer’s release.
They honor him as some kind of hero who “sacrificed” for the cause.
Let that sink in.
They want the man who burned an elderly Holocaust survivor alive to walk free. Because in their twisted ideology, Jewish blood — even the blood of a survivor who escaped the Nazis — is acceptable collateral damage. “Justified.”
How do you justify dousing survivors of the greatest genocide in history with fire? How do you look at an 82-year-old woman who endured Auschwitz-era horrors and say her death by flames was righteous resistance?
This isn’t activism. This is pure, unmasked Jew-hatred, the same evil that has hunted us for centuries. The same hatred that turned Europe into a graveyard.
The same hatred that erupted on October 7th and continues to burn today.
Karen Diamond survived the Holocaust only to be murdered by its spiritual descendants in the land that promised her refuge. And some celebrate it.
Never again means never again. Not in Europe. Not in Boulder. Not anywhere.
We will remember Karen. We will remember every victim. We will not be silent while they glorify our murderers.
May her memory be a blessing, and may her death ignite a fire for truth, justice, and the unapologetic defense of Jewish lives.
Thank you to the Boulder DA’s office for this statement .
Am Yisrael Chai. 💔🕯️
I keep getting asked why I'm so angry and so focused about repeat-offender crime.
This photo right here… this is why.
I grew up in a country where childhood felt free.
Not perfect, but free.
We hopped on our bikes after breakfast and didn't come home until the streetlights flicked on.
No phones.
Just a bunch of kids pedaling through the neighborhood... cutting through yards, racing down hills, stopping at a friend's house because you saw their bike was in the grass out front and knew they were home so you knocked on the door and got hit with a water-balloon.
That's the start of a life-long friendship.
We went to public pools with a diving board and a high dive (they tore those down)
We played soccer in the front yard with whoever happened to be outside... sometimes they were kids you knew from school, but often times they were kids you only knew because you saw them every summer riding past your house.
It was normal for my parents to assume their kids would ALWAYS come home in one piece and my parents NEVER knew where we were growing up.
That's the America I knew, and the one I grew up in.
My kids are not growing up in that America.
I don't get to just be the parent yelling, "Be home by dinner!" I have to be the parent running risk calculations in my head. Because all of us parents know the public spaces aren't safe anymore.
There's no headline for "OH LOOK AT THAT! Another neighborhood kept their kids indoors today and gave them iPads!"
But go ahead and talk to ANY parent you know… it’s happening.
We all know it's happening.
It's the slow, quiet theft of my kids' childhood... and your kids childhood.
A childhood we ALL once had and one they will never know.
It wrecks me just thinking about it... I hate it for them.
So when I talk about repeat offenders... when I post the screenshots of their 50+ arrests every single day…
Please understand something…
It's because I want my kids, and your kids, to have what we had.
I want the biggest concern at a park to be a skinned knee.
Not a st*bbing.
I want streets where the sound of bicycles and laughter is louder than that of sirens.
This is why I won't shut up about it.
I'm not asking for a perfect world.
I'm asking for the radical idea that childhood should be safe enough to look like this picture again.
And honestly, I just don’t think it’s all that radical of an ask…
Last night, at an official UTLA House of Representatives meeting, 160 credentialed teachers — the people who teach your children — spent thirty minutes denouncing me by name, declared that Zionism is racism, and then voted to expel me. I never said a single word the entire meeting.
For two hours I sat silently as an observer, which is my right as a union member in good standing. Then someone noticed I was there. What followed was half an hour of teachers explaining how terrible I am, how Zionism is racism, and how I had personally tried to get them fired — stories I don’t recognize and that anyone who knows how schools work would find laughable.
Then they voted out the only Orthodox Jew in the room.
No charges. No process. No hearing. Just organized hostility, a vote, and a gavel.
I’ve been doing antisemitism accountability work in K-12 education for years. I file complaints. I document. I publish. I name names. Apparently my silent presence on a Zoom call is a five-alarm emergency.
I want to be clear about what happened: a union used official meeting time to conduct a public denunciation of a Jewish advocate, then expelled her for the crime of showing up and saying nothing.
I’ve been kicked out of better places.
But I’ve never been more certain the work is landing.
Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
Get this book. Keep the link in your phone. Then anytime one of your friends is having a baby or taking their child to the doctor for " well baby checks" ( nothing more than a chance to induct your child into a lifetime of pharmaceutical control) then send them the article. One parent at a time. This is how we finally kill this sacred cow.
The Palestinian death cult got exposed by President Trump in a viral speech that triggered pro-Palestine idiots worldwide.
Please listen to this and share!
FDA’s vaccine committee just shamelessly voted to recommend an updated Covid-19 vaccine, ignoring its incredible trail of harm. Here is the text of the three-minute speech I delivered to the committee before they voted:
If you’re interested in making an evidenced-based and not belief-based decision regarding Covid-19 vaccines, please review the data and evidence in the letter we submitted to this committee.
Don’t ignore the tens of thousands of individuals that have contacted just our law firm regarding serious injuries from Covid-19 vaccine.
Don’t ignore the over 40 thousand individuals seriously injured from these products that are members of just one group – React19.
Don’t ignore the fact CDC fought us in court for over 2 years to hide from the public the data which showed that over 7% of the 10 million V-safe users reported needing medical care after a Covid-19 vaccine, on average 2 to 3 times each, with over 70% of those medical encounters resulting in hospitalization, emergency room or urgent care.
Don’t ignore the fact FDA fought for years to hide the data, which has been just recently released, showing that when FDA properly conducted Empirical Bayesian analysis internally, it resulted in incredible safety signals that were hidden from the public.
Don’t ignore the fact that in the clinical trial for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine there were 21 deaths in the vaccinated group and 17 deaths in the placebo group, meaning more in the vaccinated group, during the same time period and I note the placebo group actually had slightly more people than the vaccinated group.
Don’t forget that those seriously injured by these products have been abandoned because pharma has been given complete immunity for their injuries under the PREP Act and the CICP has almost no funding to pay claims and is designed to deny compensation – to call the CICP a perverse mockery of justice and betrayal would be far too kind.
Five years after assuring the world these products are safe, they still need PREP Act immunity for the harms they supposedly won’t cause.
Until this immunity is lifted and the harms actually accounted for, this committee should decline to recommend any further Covid-19 vaccines.
But, given the prior statements made by some members of this committee about these products, statements reflecting belief- and not evidence-based views about them, it will no doubt be hard to objectively consider the data and evidence regarding these products. But please try. Thank you.

But… But… There are 200 “settlers” in the “West bank” who are the problem. Let’s sanction them!
It’s the Jews who make up 0.25% of the population who are the problem.
Radical Islam? Shut up. You’re an Islamaphobe.
Unbelievable.
The west is cooked and doesn’t have much longer before it falls to Islam.
You can’t solve a problem without recognizing it and not only is the west refusing to see Islamists for what they are. Anyone who DOES see it is labeled a racist.
