Liberals are not the only ones appeasing Islamic supremacists and outright jihadis. Conservatives in the U.S. and Israel do so as well. A brief and incomplete review:
• President Donald Trump saved the Qatari monarchy from a Saudi-led invasion to overthrow the Doha regime accused of advocating for terrorism in 2017, and collaborated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to use Qatari funding to prevent Hamas bankruptcy and a supposed Gaza “civil uprising” in 2018.
• In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan funded and worked with the Afghan mujahideen to defeat the USSR, while Muslims such as Osama bin Ladin’s mentor, the jihad scholar Abdullah Azzam, spoke and wrote openly of destroying the West after eliminating the Soviets. Azzam toured some 50 American cities during the Afghan War, openly preaching the jihad theology, ostensibly to destroy the Soviets.
• The West, under the leadership of both liberal and conservative governments, welcomed Saudi (until 2015) and Qatari jihadi-tainted funding and investments for decades, in business, sports, real estate, and most notably education. Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy (ISGAP) research has proven Qatar invested up to 20 billion dollars to buy American education from K-12 and at major universities. Neither Democrats nor Republicans halted their activities.
• American Vice President JD Vance signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with President Trump’s approval in June 2026, granting the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps/ayatollah regime $300 billion in relief, and unfreezing assets to end the showdown with the U.S. Implementing the MOU allows Tehran to fund whichever organization it choses, meaning the Houthis, Hezbollah and pro-Iranian Shiite militias in Iraq. The U.S. administration would be rebooting the Iranian global jihad. The status of this agreement is unclear after hostilities resumed after its signing.
• Qatar enjoys full support from President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Qatar also remains an Iranian ally despite attacks from Tehran.
• In summer 2026, Vance had a fundraiser in New York, which Qatari advocate Omeed Malik sponsored, with his American “conservative” ally Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr.
• With Trump’s encouragement, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamic Turkey is leading much of NATO’s military exercises.
One would expect Israel’s right-wing Netanyahu government to be intensely aware of Islamic supremacist governments and never cooperate with them. Israel’s sworn enemy Hamas is the Palestinian jihadi wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. However, this is not regarded as a “given.”
• In 2015, then MK and today’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich of the ultra-nationalist Religious Zionist party, declared “Hamas is an asset.” He reasoned that by supporting Hamas in Gaza, he would split the Palestinians, ensuring that the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah could not be a “peace” partner, as there was no unified leadership.
• In 2018, defense minister Avigdor Lieberman quit the government, warning against deals with Hamas or Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump decided to curtail and buy off Hamas through economic development. Islamic Qatar would donate $30 million every month for Palestinian well-being in Gaza, thereby assuring continuing Hamas rule.
• Reportedly, Netanyahu and his right-wing government ignored warnings from Shabak security and Army Intel not to embolden Hamas. By 2023, these same security organizations were urging heightened alert, while the Egyptians and Emiratis also warned Israel of impending dangers. Netanyahu denies all these reports.
The warnings were ignored, as Netanyahu believed Hamas was “deterred,” and that Qatar was bent to his will. Hamas would accept an “economic peace.” Labor tried this approach in the 1990s, trusting PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat to keep his side of the bargain during the Oslo Process when negotiating for a two-state solution. Even Netanyahu negotiated the “Wye Accords” with Arafat in 1998, although these were never fully implemented. As it turned out, Arafat was a jihadi, and the Second Intifada exploded against Israel in September 2000 under Labor Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
It gets worse. Israel agreed to Trump’s Board of Peace in October 2025, with heavy Turkish and Qatari involvement. Trump’s 20-Point Plan officially ending the Gaza War advocates the establishment of a Palestinian state under certain conditions (Art. 19), even if Netanyahu declares it will never happen as long as he remains Prime Minister.
Further, there is the “Qatargate” scandal, where Netanyahu’s closest advisors admit to being in the pay of Doha. They are accused of working to outmaneuver anti-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Palestinian Authority Egypt in favor of Qatari influence. The prime minister describes the relations with Qatar as “complicated,” but not hostile. Qatar is known for negotiating hostage releases by paying off the jihadis to do so.
Republican and Democrat hubris is similar: Deny that Islamic supremacists mean what they say, and believe that jihadis can be bought off and controlled. Israel’s Likud right-wing government trapped the Jewish state into October 7 with this same denial of Hamas and Qatari intentions.
Conclusion: Never cut deals with Islamic supremacists; it becomes a self-inflicted death trap. Unfortunately, the West, including Israel, was and will continue to be complicit in the jihad suicide-homicide-bombing of itself, unless this lesson is fully comprehended.
Yisrael Ne’eman taught Middle Eastern courses at the University of Haifa and the Technion for 35 years. After October 7, he co-founded the Ne’eman Academy to educate about Israel, the Middle East and Islamic jihadi issues.

No doubt the left and right are dealing with the devil but sometimes, as is often said, my enemies enemy is my friend and with Islam, that arrangement is always temporary.
Dave says
There is no appeasing those that follow Islam, period. Most people really do not understand that because of Islamic deceptions and lying. Their Qur’an gives them, as Muslims, permission and the right to lie to infidels or non-Muslims for any reason, even to the point of admitting that they are Muslim.
Try to appease a rabid dog that is attacking you and you’ll see exactly what I mean about trying to ‘appease’ Islam.
I lived in an Islamic country for a while and they are are taught, from infancy, that Muslims and only Muslims are the supreme people. Only Muslims are right. This is because of ‘Big Mo’ and a little moon god called allah. If you care to check, pagan Arabs worshipped allah centries ‘before’ the avent of ‘Big Mo’ and the cult known as Islam. Historically, he was probably in a tribe that worshiped allah and well, that is where he got ‘allah’.
Another thing I learned while living there was that the only way to stop Islam is to stop it from spreading, permanently and by any means necessary.
If we don’t take an extremely hard stance on this, it is only a matter of time before we start facing Mecca, kneeling and kow-towing when we worship five times a day. It is either that or die. Personally, I’ll die before I do that.

If Trump and Netanyahu are not enough, who is?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
From the Israeli side, Itamar Ben-Gvir. From the US side, not sure – maybe a Randy Fine or a Brendon Gill. Except that I don’t see them getting a presidential nomination.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Chip Roy – Republican U.S. representative for Texas’s 21st Congressional District – will be leaving Congress in January 2027.
He is a staunch anti-jihadist and may be even more valuable coming at it from the private sector.
Wellington says
I like Chip Roy, James. He’s a good, smart and informed guy, but a “local” like Roy won’t cut it if the West is to defeat what Islam intends for all of us.
We need a national figure with electability, a Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan type. I don’t see any in the immediate future, though long term, and as Infidel has already mentioned, Gill might be the real deal.
Verdict still out. Hope it does not remain out too long because the West, including America, doesn’t have “long” on its side. The West, including America, is fast-like running out of time.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Tragically, I do not disagree.
Unless someone like Chip Roy actually becomes a huge national figure somewhere down the line – as Infidel is suggesting.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
James
I do hope that he runs. If he does, I’d pick him even over a DeSantis, much more a Rubio or Vance
Rob Porter says
This is an astoundingly revealing article by Yisrael Ne’eman, one we should print and hang on some wall in our home as a reminder that regardless of how we, till now, have viewed our political leaders, they are unprincipled deceivers. Regardless of how well, through close observation, we think we have a handle on world events, through deceitful manoeuvres and calculations by our leaders – that are often pure treachery – we really know little about what is going on below the surface.
Read Ne’eman’s opening paragraph and marvel: “..Trump saved the Qatari monarchy from a Saudi-led invasion to overthrow the Doha regime accused of advocating for terrorism in 2017,” Why? This radical Islamic Qatari regime is making huge financial efforts to subvert America’s students. An ally of the Muslim Brotherhood, it funds and supplies Hamas and thus the war against Israel, yet Trump “collaborated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to use Qatari funding to prevent Hamas bankruptcy and a supposed Gaza “civil uprising” in 2018.”
We now know that Donald Trump – whose return to the Oval Office I wholeheartedly welcomed – will not prove a Crusader-like defender and saviour of the Western world and Western civilization from aggressive Islamic conquest endeavours. Qatar and Saudi Arabia, both Islamic enemies of the West and America, will be permitted to continue using their money in American universities and colleges to subvert the minds of young Americans and pay for the building of mosques. Israel will not destroy Hamas and end its control in Gaza, despite during October 7, 2023 Benjamin Netanyahu telling France’s pathetic Emanuel Macron that there would be no diplomatic settlement with Hamas, just destruction of such an enemy. Just watch Trump (gleefully supported by JD Vance) angle for a two-state solution – within tiny Israel – and in respect of Israeli security prove no better than the utterly useless Mark Carney of Canada, Emanuel Macron of France and Britain’s Burnham.
What would be helpful to know is why these leaders behave as they do and decide what they do. It is now evident that the huge sacrifices made by European Christian armies to rid the Iberian Peninsula and southern Gaul of brutal Muslim rule and drive out the Ottomans Empire savages from Central Europe, were wasted on our contemporary Western leaders. Incomprehensibly they do not view and treat Islam as a mortal enemy endeavouring to destroy Western societies and democratic freedoms, to be defeated and neutralized. What a visionless lot! “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.”

What Conservatives Need to Learn about Appeasing Islamic Supremacists
……………………………………………………………..
Good stuff from Yisrael Ne’eman. *No one* should be appeasing Islam.
OLD GUY says
A great American leader would be good, but we need to get the average American citizen to understand the threat of muslim/islam wanting to take over not just America, but the world. We are living in a dangerous time and if you don’t understand and believe that Islam wants total control of your life, you are in trouble.
Naja says
Perhaps it will depend on the people, and not the government leaders, that will save our country?

In Biblical end-time prophecy there are three main sets of kings talked about. North, South and East. I think they are all connected somehow and I think the connection is islam.
Based on present day reality I think the king of the north is turkey, king of the south might be yemen/houthis and the kings of the east are led by iran. Is erdogan the beast/caliph of Revelation 17?

There are no *direct* referneces to Islam in the Bible, which was written before this evil creed existed. But there are many references to evil which are entirely apt today.

Our present world is a disaster. The Bible is full of prophecies about the end-times. In my opinion, a lot these verses describe islam/muslims to a tee. Time will tell.
somehistory says
Man may not have known ilime was coming, but God and His Son certainly did.
There are words….such as ‘mountains and beasts’ …which represent other things, (mountains and beasts represent human governments). so there are the Scriptures you quote, and many others, which let us know just where the enemy is and what he is doing to destroy mankind.
