Oh dear. Those Israelis keep thinking that when Hezbollah sends rockets and missiles flying into northern Israel, it is right and proper and absolutely necessary that they respond. And they do. But the current president of the United States doesn’t want Israel to exercise its right of self-defense. It gets in the way, you see, of his “deal.” And his deal is more important than Israel defending itself.
Two weeks ago, he told the world that he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “you are f**king crazy.” And he demanded that Israel not strike Beirut. Netanyahu responded by accommodating Trump, ceasing attacks in Beirut unless and until Hezbollah struck Israel. Which the terror group did. And so the Israelis again attacked in Beirut, but quite mildly, hitting only a single command-and-control center in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh. Trump said he was shocked when his advisers called to brief him about the Israeli strike in Beirut, and he fumed at Netanyahu: “It is so bad — I couldn’t believe it. An hour before we are supposed to sign the deal.”
Trump acknowledged Hezbollah attacked Israel first, but stressed that the attack hadn’t caused any damage, and nobody had been killed. “Why did Bibi have to do a f**king attack? I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no f**king judgement. I let him know that,” Trump said.
I think Netanyahu, who has been dealing with the threat to his country from Hezbollah and its backer Iran for thirty years, knows better how to deal with the terror group than the vain, opinionated, foul-mouthed, grasping lout (who thirty years ago was busy buying the Miss Universe Pageant) who presumes to tell him what to do.
Look, it is very simple. Trump is desperate for a “deal” with Iran, whose calculating and sinister leaders have been leading him by the nose The Iranians will, I am sure, not agree to ending their ballistic missile program, which right now is the main military threat to both Israel and to the Gulf Arab states. They will not give up their support for their regional proxies — Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen. They will demand, and get, an end to the American blockade of Iranian ports. They will be given tens of billions of dollars in unfrozen Iranian assets. And they will promise to surrender only their 144 kg. of uranium enriched to a level of 60%, but right now the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps engineers have been blowing up the tunnels to the sites where that uranium is located, and it may now be impossible to retrieve.
Instead of bullying Netanyahu, Trump ought to have taken the side of his embattled ally. The fanatics who run Iran may hate the Great Satan, but it is the Lesser Satan that is first to be threatened with annihilation. Netanyahu is fighting for the very survival of his country. Trump is not. He has been yielding now on this point and now on that, so that the Iranians will finally, and oh so begrudgingly, agree. And when that deal is done, Trump will proclaim himself worthy of a Nobel Prize. Trump should have recognized — as he has never done — that it is not just Israel that wants to see Hezbollah dismantled. So do most of the Lebanese people, who detest Hezbollah and wish It to disappear. All of the Lebanese Christians and Sunni Muslims, and even many of the country’s Shia, are hoping that Israel is successful in destroying Hezbollah. Trump should publicly acknowledge that. But he won’t.
And to coarsely curse Netanyahu for the latest IDF attack on a Hezbollah command-and-control center, in response to an attack on Israel, just so that Trump can trumpet that he has made “the deal of the century” or the “greatest deal in all of history,” is both cruel and calamitous.

What will be the fate of the people of Iran? Does anybody care? Trump doesn’t. They will continue to be exterminated. This is like making a deal with Hitler and Himler and leaving the concentration camps intact. “Peace in our time all over again” as Yogi Berra would have said.
William Kemmler says
As long as Donnie can claim he’s the Great Peacemaker® I sincerely doubt he cares what is going to happen to the people of Iran once nobody is looking. And it isn’t going to be pretty that’s for sure. Anyone who showed even the smallest amount of support for the U.S. is going to be put on the chopping block (literally) and that will end any opposition to the theocratic regime in Iran for the foreseeable future and beyond.

Your post has truth to it. Too bad you somewhat devalued it by using the Donnie reference. I see that coming from leftists and their sites on a regular basis.

For all I care, let Israel keep being hit with drones and missiles. They will be ok.
We just need nuclear deal. A war between Israel and the terrorists, our troops should just have popcorn and watch the skies.
I scold Trump for wasting THAAD on any Middle East country. It is so rare and expensive. And you are supposed to defend very high value assets with that, such as Guam, not some Israeli civilians who can just hide in their bomb shelters.
They don’t care about America, these Israel firsters, as you see in that comment . Trump was great… until Israel doesn’t get their way.

Nothing makes sense until you realize that Trump works for London, a place run by the grandchildren of people who have been after God’s Chosen for centuries.
He is their aptly-named TRUMP CARD against free humanity.

London? Britain is right now one of his least favorite countries. In fact, last week, I watched a report that US policy on the Falkland Islands may be changing in favor of Argentina, given the yeoman’s work President Millei has done in transforming not just his country, but influencing similar trends in the neighborhood – Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay (?). Whereas Sir Kier, by opposing the use of British bases by the US in Iran, has ticked him off
So if on Falklands, which Americans don’t give 2 hoots, Trump then has the choice of backing London vs Buenos Aires, which one do you think he’d pick?

Walter Sieruk says
It’s no wonder that the Prime Minister of the State of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is infuriated with President Trump ., and rightly so.. For as this jihad watch article reveals that Trump””doesn’t want Israel to exercise its right of self-defense. It gets in the way, you see, of his “deal.” And his deal is more important than Israel defending itself..
Trump wanting that is absurd unreasonable and wrong .Israel has every to defend itself , be it against Hezbollah or any other jihad ennty..
Sadly , reveals that Trump must obviously be very lacking in the wisdom that the former US President had, who was James Monroe , when he ,rightly, in a speech declared ” The right to self defence never ceases. It is among the most sacred , and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”
Walter Sieruk says
It’s actually hard to believe that President Trump is actually so nonsensical and out ridiculous that he doesn’t want to State of Israel to strike back at murderous and destructive Hezbollah jihad attack because he’s afraid that Israel using its military forces might jeopardize that possible d”deal “with what “mullah regime ” of Iran.
Trump is making no sense whatsoever . because first , it’s the duty and obligation of an good government to protect the lives safely and security of Its citizen , therefore ,Israel has to strike back in actions of self defense. Second ,Trump has no duty or obligation to have “peace agreement deal ‘ with that dangerous hostile and menacing regime that hates America and Israel so much so with aspite-full Islamic vicious passion that it always called America :”The Great Satan ” and Israel as the “Little Satan.” Third,, if Trump really feels those disingenuous and outright liars do have any intention of keeping the promises any document that they might sign of a “peace deal” then he is a deluded fool. It would not be worth the paper that it’s printed on. To put in in another way. such a “peace agreement deal:” would be based on nothing more than a foundation of sand.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think these reports are just for media entertainment. Behind the scenes, they probably recognize the political pressures on each of them and find that it would be politically advantageous for each to distance himself from the other. There is the Tucker crowd that thinks Bibi is running America from Jerusalem, and then there are Israelis who think that Trump has turned on them and wants Bibi to distance himself from the US
As a result, they may have decided to publicly appear that they’re having spats, thereby strengthening their domestic support, while behind the scenes, they keep co-ordinating their plans for every week. But this operation is costing $1 billion every month: it’s high time that we figure out a quick victory strategy and recognize that it’s the Iranian people that have to do most of the heavy lifting once their regime is gone

Trump Fulminates Against Netanyahu
…………………………………………
I have generally been a big supporter of President Trump–but this demanding that Israeli PM Netanyahu allow Iran to target his people is *just appalling*.
Chevelle says
Trump just said a hour ago on live tv. He wants Israel to withdraw from Lebanon and he wants Syria, Badhar Al Assad terrroists to go into Lebanon and invade
And Trump said Syrian army is better than Israel and they will do a better job .
Yea. I don’t know what to make of it .
gravenimage says
Syria has been taken over by Sunni Jihad terrorists Al Sharaa and his lot, and they are now slaughtering Christians, Alawites, and Druze. Sure, they hate Shia Muslims like Hezb’allah–but that *does not* mean that they want to stop attacks on Israelis or other non-Muslims.
Chevelle says
Ok I just mixed up the name of the terrorist leader.
Yea didn’t they say the old asad was protecting minorities. I guess USA sided with the Islamist. Thats confusing for me.
And saddam protected them too b ur we got him out. So did the Egypt leader and Obama got rid of him and again, terrorists took it over.
Child marriage and sharia .
gravenimage says
I got what you meant, Chevelle. Assad *was* a brutal dictaror–but he also did at least partially protect Alawites, Christians, and Druze. He was bad–but still much better than Al Sharaa.
I think that many Americans–realizing that Assad was pretty bad–assumed that those opposing him must ergo be the good guys. I hate to say it, but I have seen many of my countrymen repeatedly make this naive error.
Beans🫘 says

No Assad was worse over all to Al Shara. And much worse for Israel.
His fall was a game changer for Israel’s security. That corridor was key to smuggling weapons to Hezbollah terrorist barbarians and other groups in the levant.
Weapons still flow, but they are down big time, whether you like him or not, Al Shara has been a rational regional actor so far. There was trouble of command and control in the beginning of his reign. That’s been taken care of.
Assad’s fall, has possibly opened up victory for Israel in Lebanon. It is very difficult to predict how much ammunition is stored right now in South Lebanon and how long the horde can survive. But no doubt Israeli soldiers and civilians lives have been saved when that supply line degraded. (It is still alive and evolving though).
OLD GUY says
This 60 day agreement isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. All this is doing is buying time for the enemy to regroup gain weapons and continue its goal for a nuclear weapon.
Martin Green says
It’s also giving them money and destroying U.S. credibility and deterrence.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
David M says
I agree with Trump. Israel doesn’t have to wipe out an apartment building to get one suspected Hezbollah member.
Beans🫘 says
Yea I would if it was true… at least from what I understand, Israel warns civilians to leave…. Does Hezbollah do this?
I don’t know for sure maybe it is true we should focus on case to case basis.
Also, even the USA does weigh the reward scenarios and does sometimes strike buildings with civilians if the person is a big target.
It’s all relative. But I do stand with Trump 100 percent in the over all picture.
It is important also not to fall for all this social media and fake news on Israel. It is too early to say what exactly happened in Gaza, what the casualty figures are. It was densely populated, we have to weigh the ratios of civilians to combatants.
To me it does look like a good figure for Israel when you compare to other conflicts. I don’t know if I have ever studied a more difficult terrain in modern war. It is challenging for Israel. There are of course maniacs in every Army…
