Netanyahu: "You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House."

Netanyahu says that in his 2nd term, President Trump “picked up right where you left off” — bringing a hostage deal, revoking sanctions on settlers, pulling funding for UNRWA, and applying maximum pressure on Iran. “All this in just 2 weeks. Can you imagine where we’ll be in 4 years?”

“We’ve defeated some of America’s worst enemies,” Netanyahu says, referring to killing terrorists last year. He adds, “To secure our future and bring peace to the region we have to finish the job…I believe your willingness to puncture conventional thinking that has failed time and again, to think outside the box, will help us achieve these goals…You say things others refuse to say.”
Netanyahu also states, “Iran tried to kill us both…we’re both committed to rolling back Iran’s aggression in the region and ensuring Iran never has a nuclear weapon.”

Concluding his remarks, Netanyahu declares, “I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only feasible, but it’s going to happen.”

"Trump: We are considering our position on Israel annexing Judea and Samaria. We will make an announcement about it soon. Trump said he will make a statement on the matter of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria in the next 4 weeks."

He made that comment back when Trump announced that he would move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and that Israel rightfully has a greater claim to the West Bank area.

4. Netanyahu has caused more antisemitism than anyone in my lifetime. What a POS.

Of course I cannot blame all Jews for him anymore than I can blame all Americans for Trump.

5. The Democratic Party was the best friend Israel ever had. And somehow 46% of NY Jews voted for Trumpf.

Ask Harry S Truman in 1948 who recognized Israel, LBJ who shielded Israel in 1967 after the USS Liberty incident, or the late Jimmy Carter who bent over backwards to secure peace for Israel.

The USS Liberty after being repeatedly strafed by IDF jets on 8 Jun 1967 during the Six-Day War: 34 US KIA, 171 US WIA. The electronic spy ship may have intercepted IDF communications about potential war crimes in the Sinai. Abba Eban apologized for the attack and asked LBJ to not reveal anything as the incident might have become a propaganda boost for the USSR. Democrat LBJ obliged.



After signing the Camp David Accords in 1978. Begin and Sadat enjoyed playing chess with each other during the talks.

Now look where we are:



Between these two Repub-Likuds are five indictments, two impeachments, and one conviction (but a sentence of 'unconditional discharge.')

Thanks for screwing the Democratic Party in 2024 by keeping the Gaza bombing going and not helping Joe Biden out with a ceasefire, Bibi! Former USSECSTATE Antony Blinken and former D/CIA William Burns know exactly what you did. If the ICC doesn't convict you, I hope Israel's dynamic first female Attorney-General skewers you during your corruption trial.


Israel Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara. Go get him, Ma'am!
