A valuable insight from @bungarsargon’s new book is that American Jews should not demand a place on the left’s hierarchy of the oppressed. America has been wonderful for our people. We have assimilated and thrived. The Jew haters on the left and right are the anti Americans.
In the end, Iran broke the deal on its own.
Israel didn’t make Iran attack ships in the Hormuz.
Iran did that.
Trita Parsi, Joe Kent, other Vance wing Groypers owe an apology.
Warsaw Uprising: Polish Resistance in Brutal Urban Combat (1944) 🇵🇱🇩🇪
Polish resistance fighters battle through the ruined streets of Warsaw after launching the Warsaw Uprising on August 1, 1944.
Armed with limited weapons and captured German equipment they fought building by building as they assaulted fortified German positions in a desperate effort to reclaim their capital.
One of the most courageous urban resistance campaigns of the Second World War.
Hundreds of Jewish community leaders from around the world came to Israel to promote plans for the reconstruction of the north and south, and plans to strengthen the security of Jewish communities in the wake of waves of anti-Semitism.
Just before Shabbat, here’s some of what I said today at the signing of the framework agreement with Lebanon:🧵
1/5
Thank you to Secretary of State, Marco Rubio and his great team. Together we have advanced President Trump's vision of peace and security - of peace through strength.
We have advanced the historic and critical process forward. I want to express my deepest appreciation to my colleagues, Dr. Draznin of the NSA, our foreign ministry personnel, our IDF officers, and my embassy staff who worked together with me under the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his team back in Jerusalem.
Really seems like Qatar is not an ally and is, in fact, a hostile Islamic supremacist dictatorship that bribes policymakers in order to undermine the US from within.
From the ground in Lebanon:
I have family both in Beirut and in the south.
My family in Beirut live in an area overlooking the Dahiye, Hezbollah’s stronghold. They stand on their balcony and watch Israel bomb specific Hezbollah military locations embedded within the civilian population. They see the explosions and know about it way before the news report it. They are literally standing on their balcony watching and are not worried about Israel hitting them. They sent me a video of the massive explosion when Nasrallah was killed long before I saw it on the news.
Also in the South, my relatives tell the exact same story. Israel only hits areas in which Hezbollah’s thugs have embedded themselves.
ALL sovereign Lebanese want Hezbollah defeated because Hezbollah is an extension of the IRGC and they are holding Lebanon hostage.
Time to be honest about reporting the news. Every time you attack Israel, you are hurting the chances for all the good people in the region to be liberated from the Iranian regime and from Hezbollah and from Islamists.
Please consider a more honest approach and a truthful approach about news reporting. Hezbollah is always the one instigating and they desire to destroy Israel whether Israel attacks or not.
Israel is the good guy. The others are the bad guys‼️🙏
The holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers. It actually started with a group of people whose life mission was to eradicate an entire race from the face of the Earth for no reason. People who used propaganda to further that goal on a daily basis until it reached a fever pitch.
So that’s why you fight against propaganda and that is why you fight for the truth not because you’re fighting for a foreign country but because you were fighting for western civilization.
Israel is going above and beyond to protect the Christian population of Lebanon. I just spoke with senior IDF official, MG Hidai Zilberman, who’s an expert on the issue and confirmed Israel’s tireless work to ensure the safety of the Christian population.
However, Hezbollah has done the COMPLETE opposite. They’re putting Christians and Lebanese civilians directly in the line of fire. They’re attacking Israel from WITHIN Christian population centers and storing their terror assets IN Christian schools.
Israeli officials are in constant communication with the leaders of Christian communities in south Lebanon and are delivering aid to Christian villages to help prevent their dependence on Hezbollah terrorists.
So, anyone who tells you anything other than the truth, doesn’t want Christians to be safe.
My defense of Israel has nothing to do with Israel. It has everything to do with
the ability to look at the world and tell the truth about it.
On one side stands a democracy, a place with real elections, a free press, courts that can overrule its own government, and full rights for the Arabs who make up a fifth of its citizens. On the other stands a regime that executes its own people in public, jails women over their hair, kills the convert and the dissident, arms terrorists from Lebanon to Yemen, and has called for the death of America for forty years.
That is not a hard call. You knew the answer before you finished reading the sentence. Your conscience answered for you.
So the question that matters isn’t really about the Middle East. It’s about what’s happened to people who can no longer give that answer clearly and honestly and why they can’t do it. That’s the question that matters because it’s the question that determines what kind of leaders we will have. Ones who see the world honestly or ones who make the world what they want and lie to people to convince them to see it that way.
People who look at the massacre of October 7th, at families killed in their homes and kids hunted at a festival, and decide the killers are the victims. They didn’t lose a debate. They lost something deeper. They taught themselves to invert truth and morality on command, to call cruelty courage and call decency oppression, to feel sympathy toward evil. And once a person can do that, they can do it about anything.
That is the part Americans need to hear, because it doesn’t stay overseas.
The people training themselves to switch it off about Iran are not going to switch it back on for you. And tyranny is counting on exactly that, because tyranny never arrives announcing itself. It comes as your protector. It comes to right a wrong, to silence the dangerous voices, to keep you safe.
The only thing that has ever stopped it in time is ordinary people who could still look at it and say, out loud and at cost, no that is wrong.
This is why Israel and America stand on the same ground, whether or not Israel is on your mind at all. America was founded by people who believed the deepest freedom a human being has is the freedom to stand before God by his own conscience, with no king and no mob in between. They wrote it into our law because they knew how rare it was that there are vast stretches of this earth, then and now, where a man cannot change his faith and live. That freedom is not natural to power.
It has to be defended, generation after generation, by people willing to name what’s true when it’s unpopular to name it. Israel, on the far edge of that same inheritance, is doing exactly what we ask of ourselves: looking an enemy sworn to its destruction in the face and refusing to pretend it isn’t there.
So I’ll say it plainly. To defend Israel is not to choose a foreign country over our own. It’s to keep faith with the one thing without which America is just a flag over a place: the willingness to tell the truth about good and evil and to stand on the right side of it. A people who can be talked out of that about their friends will be talked out of it about themselves. And a people who can still say it clearly, bravely, when it costs them are the only people who have ever kept a country free.
That’s why I stand where I stand. Not for Israel’s sake. For Americas sake because the people who want to convince you our enemies are our friends by lying, gaslighting and manipulating you will be the first ones to take your freedoms away.
Do you think anyone likes death threats, fake doxxings and relentless attacks unwarranted attacks? No, they don’t.
But hear me, those of a who fight on here everyday aren’t victims. We chose to do this because the truth matters.
The country we leave to our children matters.
And the people who are on here lying and making everything about a country the size of New Jersey are doing it for power.
@RealSpitfire 5 soldiers injured by a drone attack, this was the response. Please report it as it is vs just hatred of our only real ally who is willing to fight on our behalf
The New York Times ran a piece from Nikolas Kristof based on a total of 14 interviews that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians—an obvious lie.
Yet, they haven’t written a word about an in depth report on the actual rape of 250,000 British girls by Islamists.
Weird.
As I’ve warned, if Hezbollah can attack Israel and Iran can strike Israel, Bahrain, and Kuwait without paying a serious price, it’s only a matter of time before Americans are targeted.
That happened when Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Thankfully, the crew survived and was rescued.
President Trump is right to respond. But the more effective strategy is to impose—and support Israel’s right to impose—overwhelming costs on the regime in Tehran and its terror network.
The lesson: perceived weakness invites aggression. Strength restores deterrence. Escalate to de-escalate.
@Geiger_Capital Zero chance Trump allows anyone to shoot missiles at the USA and not respond. It’s just stupid to allow Iran to “defend” Lebanon (Hezbollah) without repercussions. Actions have consequences.
