I was wondering what happened cause trump used to bend the knee for Netanyahu

Trump and Netanyahu previously had a mutual love thing. Here's 2019, when Trump recognized Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights:

 

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared President Trump to Cyrus the Great, Lord Balfour and Harry S. Truman — historic giants who helped secure the future of the Israeli people. Mr. Trump called Mr. Netanyahu a “very special man.”

 

I wonder what changed Trump's opinion ....

Syrian state television said Israel targeted the country’s two largest airports in Damascus and Aleppo, damaging runways and putting the two airports out of service. There was no immediate confirmation from Israel, which has struck both airports in the past. Thursday’s strikes came a day after mortars were lobbed from Syrian territory toward Israel, falling on an open area.

This will haunt Israel for decades. No matter what happens there will be accusations and recriminations flying every which way. Those poor families crying on TV while the military bombs Gaza. Insane.  Wish it could just all end

HOSTAGES snatched by Hamas could have been buried alive, hidden in secret tunnels across the border or even moved to Egypt, a counter-terrorism expert has warned.

Author Samuel Katz, who spent years observing elite special units of Israel's Defence Forces, explained that the fate of the Israeli hostages is a "nightmare scenario" for Israel.

 

The terror group has threatened to execute some of the 150 civilian hostages, amid escalation of the conflict.

Hamas issued a chilling warning on Monday, that they would kill a captive for every civilian house bombed in Gaza without warning.

The terrorists have even threatened to release disturbing videos of hostages begging for their lives.

Katz explained how the current hostage situation is unique as there are multiple locations where captives could be held and described it as "uncharted territory."

He told The Sun: "We are in uncharted territories, this is unprecedented.

"Large-scale hostage rescues have usually involved one location- they've involved aircraft trains, tubular assaults that would enable one entry, one exit or multiple points that the rescuers could breach.

“You can have hostages that are now in a tunnel near the Israeli frontier, and you can have hostages that have been moved near the Egyptian border.

“You can have hostages that have been buried alive. The barbarism that was displayed by the attack provides no envelope into how these poor individuals might be treated and where they might be situated."

“No electrical switch will be turned on, no water hydrant will be opened, and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home. Humanitarian for humanitarian. And no one will preach us morals,” Katz said Thursday.

Really??? 

 

Explosive allegations: The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers cut off the heads of babies during their shock attack on Saturday, an Israeli official told CNN’s Matthew Chance, contradicting a previous public statement by the Prime Minister’s office. “There have been cases of Hamas militants carrying out beheadings and other ISIS-style atrocities. However, we cannot confirm if the victims were men or women, soldiers or civilians, adults or children,” the official said. The explosive allegations that children had been decapitated at the kibbutz of Kfar Aza emerged Tuesday in Israeli media.

Floyd Mayweather Is Sending Bulletproof
Vests To Israel Like A Complete Boss

by Andrew Powell

 

Mayweather is such a G, man. Considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, Mayweather is sending his private jet, named Air Mayweather, to “deliver food and other supplies, including bullet-proof vests” to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), according to Los Angeles Magazine. “I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists,” Mayweather posted on social media Monday.

Trump Vs. Biden On Israel Explained In One Post

I & I Editorial Board

October 11, 2023

 

This was posted by Robert Greenway, who was the principal architect of the historic Abraham Accords under the Trump administration. Remember that every step he describes that Trump took was met with horror and anguish by elites and leftists alike who said it would lead to conflict.

 

  • We moved our embassy to Jerusalem. No war.
  • We withdrew from the JCPOA. No war.
  • We undertook the maximum economic pressure campaign and crippling, historic sanctions on Iran. No war and they stayed below 4% enrichment.
  • We recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. No war.
  • We eliminated Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al Muhandis (and Abu Bakr al Baghdadi). No war.
  • The results? Iran isolated under crippling sanctions reducing their capacity to threaten the region, and historic peace brokered between Israel and its neighbors via the Abraham Accords.
  • Two years after Biden took office Iran is enriching over 60%, they’re two weeks from sufficient material for a nuclear weapon, Sudan fell into a civil war, and Israel just experienced the greatest loss of life in a single day since the holocaust. In seeking to avoid conflict, it is upon us.
  • By embracing our enemy and spurning our friends it will not be easily contained.
  • This should never have happened.

The world is lucky that POS Trump is not President now. What a mess he'd make of things.

Really? What about those shipment of weapons Biden sent? 

There has to be some technology available that could explore those tunnels. Drones or robots or something

 

 

Israeli troops are massing on the border of Gaza following Saturday’s surprise attack inside of Israel, but their orders are still unclear.

What is clear, however – according to Israeli troops who’ve fought inside Gaza before – any invasion is going to be difficult, dangerous and bloody.

Gaza – with more than 15,000 people per each of its 139 square miles – is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Inside military circles in Israel, there are two Gazas to contend with: Upper Gaza, which is everything above ground, and lower Gaza, where bombs and drones can’t get to, and sophisticated satellites can’t see deep under the ground.

“You have babies and terrorists in the same house,” said one reserve soldier who declined to give his name due to his role in Israel’s security service. The soldier has fought in Gaza several times over the last 15 years.

Israel believes Hamas is trying to draw soldiers into territory the militant group knows much better. Officials expect the tunnels and ground throughout the area to be booby-trapped with explosives. 

“Nobody really knows what’s underground,” said Harel Chorev, a Palestinian historian at Tel Aviv University’s Moshe Dayan Center for Middle East and African Studies. 

Israel’s intelligence community believes much of the money and material the world gave to the people of Gaza to rebuild after previous wars has been taken by Hamas and reinvested in the elaborate system of tunnels and bunkers.

“I don’t see Israeli soldiers being able to storm these tunnels,” Chorev said. Instead he believes they will try and locate them and find ways to “smoke them out.”

So, it's misinterpret Robert Greenway's post now ?

 

Man, Liberals consistently do that.

 

He was part of "America's" intervention in the region for several years.

 

The criticism is of the Biden administration, NOT America.

 

(But, you knew that)

U.S. Death Toll from Hamas Terror Attack Rises to 25, Blinken Announces after Arrival in Israel

by Jack Crowe

 

The American death toll from the barbaric Hamas terror attack on Israel has risen to 25, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Thursday, shortly after arriving in Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior government officials. The number of confirmed American fatalities has continued to rise since Saturday, when thousands of Hamas terrorists poured across the Israel-Gaza border to slaughter, kidnap, and torture Israeli civilians. There are at least 17 Americans among the hostages who were dragged back across the border into Gaza as Hamas withdrew, the White House announced Wednesday.

Maybe ignore causality for a minute and just absorb the contrast drawn between the objective results during each respective administration. It is interesting the two differing patterns, no?

Sure it might be coincidental

Trump out here reppin for Hezbollah because Netanyahu was “disloyal” due to calling Biden when he won the election … like any sane leader of Israel

would do to any newly elected President of the ally that basically determines whether they can continue to exist.  
 

This man is so exhausting and I hate that we likely have to choose between a whiny narcissist and the weakest leader America has ever had.
