Haredi schools in certain cities violated security rules during wartime

It turns out, unshockingly, that some Haredi schools were operating in violation of security rules set by the Home Front Command, and are hopefully now facing legal action:
The Education Ministry is taking enforcement actions against haredi institutions operating in violation of Home Front Command instructions.

The ministry stated, "Following information received about educational institutions operating contrary to the law and defense instructions, the Ministry has sent inspectors to schools across the country to ensure compliance with the mandatory guidelines."

In institutions where prohibited educational activities were found, immediate actions were taken: closure orders were issued, and budget transfers were halted.

The operation targeted educational institutions operating in several cities, including Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Tiberias, Rehovot, Modi'in Illit, and Beitar Illit.

Education Minister Yoav Kisch stated, "The lives of our children come first. Any educational institution that violates Home Front Command guidelines will be dealt with immediately using the clear measures available to the Ministry: sending inspectors, issuing closure orders, and halting budgets. There are no compromises when it comes to student safety. This is a national responsibility, and we are using all the tools at our disposal."
As reprehensible as it is, these violations have sadly been common for possibly decades. Mainly because the parents won't show the courage to leave the lifestyle. And so, it causes only so much frustration as a result.

Hamas agitator Mahmoud Khalil attacks USA policy after judge tragically orders his release

It's very sad that so far, Mahmoud Khalil, the pro-Hamas advocate who violated the terms of his citizenship in the USA, was released following the orders of a judge who took his side despite his dark record, and now, Khalil is continuing to bash the USA alongside one of the worst Democrat members of Congress:
Syrian-born anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil, released from detention despite alleged Hamas ties, vowed on Saturday to continue anti-Israel protests while appearing alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at a New Jersey airport.

Khalil, 30, spent 104 days in a Lousina detention center after his March 8 arrest, as the Trump administration sought to deport the Columbia student for allegedly engaging in activities “aligned to Hamas,” the Palestinian terrorist group responsible for the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.

Immediately upon his Friday release following a court order from U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, Khalil bashed the U.S.-funded “genocide” in Gaza, and even vowed to fight for the rights of the “incredible men” he was imprisoned with in Louisiana, per the New York Post.

“The U.S. government is funding this genocide, and Columbia University is investing in this genocide,” Khalil declared at the airport. “This is what I was protesting. This is what I will continue to protest with every one of you. Not only if they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who joined Khalil at Newark Liberty International Airport alongside his wife and their newborn son, claimed the allegations against Khalil were politically motivated.
It's interesting that according to this news, he appears to be turning against Columbia, even though they hardly seem repentant for their grave misdeeds. That said, this is a travesty of justice, and now will make things harder to get him out of the country. The Trump administration shouldn't have waited for the courts to deal with this.

Now, just a few days after his release, Khalil returned immediately to participation in anti-Israel/USA protests, and even supports the Iranian mullahs: This too is quite telling, and should be considered a violation of any restrictions one would assume Khalil had imposed on him as release conditions. Again, this is turning out to be a serious judicial embarrassment, and a humiliation for USA legal systems.

Hayden Daniel upholds "isolationism", yet calls Mark Levin a "neocon"

Wow, I thought it was bad enough when the Federalist's senior editor, John Daniel Davidson, was opposing wars to defeat evil entities, and practically saying what followers of Islam would want to hear. Now, prior to when Donald Trump approved of US military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, Hayden Daniel wrote similar blabber, claiming they're nothing more than "forever wars", and even calling Mark Levin a "neocon", which happens to be the description best applied to right-wingers who uphold isolationism. Here's what Daniel says:
Now, Mark Levin, in his zealous crusade to push the United States into directly joining Israel’s strikes against Iran, has invoked the most tired and most misconstrued talking point related to the Second World War: appeasement.

Levin’s screed (it’s far too light on substance to be called an op-ed), titled “Isolationism is the same as appeasement — and it’s keeping Trump, Netanyahu from transforming the Middle East,” does little more than launch ad hominem attacks and provide a masterclass in projection. It’s amazing to read sentences like these: “They’re too self-righteous in their ignorance to realize how absurd they sound. … In fact, they’re so blind and self-important that they don’t see the new foreign policy taking place in real time, right in front of their eyes!” and not even detect even a hint of self-awareness from a man who is advocating for the United States to become stuck in yet another Middle East quagmire.

Remember how all those other times our attempts to “transform” the Muslim world worked out so well?


Afraid that his readers won’t be convinced by merely insulting the intelligence of so-called “isolationists,” Levin tries to morally blackmail any potential skeptics by blowing the appeasement dog whistle as loudly as he can. “There’s nothing new or good about isolationism, which, in a word, is appeasement. It’s old and promotes war, such as World War II,” he writes bluntly.
Or, more specifically, enables barbarism to take hold. It's already happening in Africa, with Christian communities being slaughtered by jihadists, and all the while, Mr. Daniel and his ilk say nothing, and practically erase the existence of the victims of jihadism. Is that also what Daniel and company think following September 11, 2001 to boot?

What Mr. Daniel and company fail to understand is that refusing in any way, shape or form to convince the Islamic world to abandon adherence to the Religion of Peace is the reason for failure in the middle east. Not to mention failure to promote belief systems that emphasize vigilance against evil along with respect for human dignity and demand the inhabitants, especially leader figures, take them up and follow those instead? Unwillingness to firmly make such points is exactly why we still have the crisis of Islam on our hands. Daniel continues:
It seems like whenever very reasonable people object to yet another forever war, neocons crawl out of the woodwork to screech “appeasement!” to try to cow their foreign policy opponents into embarrassed silence. If you don’t agree with the neocons’ next regime-change project, you’re no better than British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who meekly gave in to Adolf Hitler in 1938 and emboldened Nazi aggression — thereby unleashing all of the devastation that ravaged Europe. If you don’t believe in toppling tinpot dictator No. 12, installing an American puppet state, and sacrificing untold amounts of American blood and treasure, you, specifically, are setting the stage for another World War II, another Holocaust. At least, that’s the implication.
Notice that the columnist totally obscures another issue one could make a more valid case about - that Trump would make any kind of deal with Syria's new autocrat, al-Sharaa. Nobody on the left said anything about that, and the real neocons-in-negative-sense like Mr. Daniel haven't either. If he's a Christian adherent, he's sold out Syria's adherents as well. And then, Mr. Daniel has the shame to smear Levin as a neocon?!? I think Levin denied in subsequent TV broadcasts the whole notion he's a neocon, one more reason why Daniel practically owes an apology to Levin for this blatant attack on his belief that the USA cannot stand idly by while tyranny, nuclear, physical or otherwise, exists in any way. Perhaps the Federalist should be renamed the Defeatist if this is what they're going to embrace now, and even before this, there were some very fishy articles they published that obscured the topic of Islamofascism in France, in example, and even normalized it when talking about LGBT propaganda being shoved down everyone's throats. What good does that do? It will not change the viewpoint of Islamists regarding Jews one bit. Next thing you know, if neo-nazism had institutions in the USA, they'd whitewash such a movement if that's what it took to battle against LGBT ideology, and even communism would abruptly get a pass. The Federalist is really going to the dogs now.

On which note, Elle Purnell may have more restrained, but tragically, she too appears to be siding with the Tucker Carlson crowd, no matter how subtle she tries to be. And she says:
Insofar as Cruz and others who cite the Abrahamic covenant in foreign policy discussions are advocating for general goodwill and moral support toward Israel and against homicidal Iranian clerics, that’s not controversial among Christians. Nor is the fact that America and Israel’s relationship as strong political allies commands a certain level of support from the sidelines.

But it is something else entirely to insist that God’s promise to Abraham in the Old Testament requires the United States government to base its political decisions on the objectives of the 21st-century Israeli nation-state. Taken to extremes, that would mean the United States has an obligation to make foreign policy decisions, no matter how much they may contradict the interests of the United States, based on whether those decisions benefit the nation-state of Israel.
Here's the problem: she doesn't acknowledge that the Religion of Peace is a serious issue that can't be taken lightly or allowed to reign, even today, in countries like Saudi Arabia. Or, she doesn't acknowledge that the most vital reason to battle Iran is because such religiously-influenced barbarism cannot be ignored. It doesn't have to be based on biblical beliefs in order to make a point. Yet Purnell does little better than Daniel in addressing the topic. If you think Cruz's approach is flawed, that's one thing. But ignoring what the Religion of Peace is built upon does nothing to improve the argument, and is exactly why we're at this point in history now.

As it so happens, Melanie Phillips wrote about the troubles with neocons as described in this particular era, and even before, and how they're still a serious problem themselves:
Earlier this week, an out-and-out antisemite was revealed to be holding a senior position in the Pentagon.

In an exclusive story on JNS, Washington correspondent Andrew Bernard revealed that Col. Nathan McCormack, the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, had referred publicly to Israel as a “death cult”.

In April, he suggested that the United States “might be Israel’s proxy and not realised it yet”.

In May, he wrote: “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land.”

Within hours of the story appearing, McCormack was moved to another position while the Pentagon investigated. Questions may well be asked about how such an individual could be appointed to a senior defence post.

However, the main thrust of his noxious assertions has long been a widespread view in Western establishment circles and has even been legitimised in public debate. This is the belief that the Jews manipulate governments and drag them into foreign wars that serve Jewish interests at the expense of others losing their lives.

This is, of course, a classic blood libel that stretches back into antiquity. Today, it’s found on both the left and right.

“The US must make it clear that we will not be dragged into another Netanyahu war,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), echoed by members of the progressive “Squad” in the US House of Representatives. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said: “We cannot let [Israel’s prime minister] drag our country into a war with Iran.”


For his part, McCormack referenced the 2007 book by authors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which accused the pro-Israel lobby in America of shaping its foreign policy to support Israel in ways that harmed the United States.

Although the Anti-Defamation League called the book “a classical conspiratorial antisemitic analysis invoking the canards of Jewish power and Jewish control,” the authors continued to be treated with respect in academic circles as “realists”.

The isolationism that gives rise to such views has a long lineage in America. It was in dismaying evidence during the 1930s and 1940s, when Nazism was plunging Europe into darkness
.

Most notoriously, the celebrity aviator Charles Lindbergh announced at an America First rally in 1941 that the Jews were “pressing this country toward war” and trying to “force a free and independent people into war against its will”.
So back in WW2, a certain creep was employing the "America First" slogan for bad purposes. By contrast, Trump didn't do that when he argued in favor of putting the USA's internal concerns first. He just meant that security and business matters, along with local workers, are the ones that should matter. Trump's position in no way whatsoever made foreigners in distress out to look like their lives were worthless, in contrast to Lindbergh, who clearly didn't give a damn if Islam was leading to the deaths of innocent people in the middle east either. And lest we forget the National Socialists collaborated with the Religion of Peace decades before too.
Those who were against the US invasion of Iraq tendentiously blamed it on “the neocons”. This was code for “the Jews,” because a number of influential “neocon” analysts who supported the war happened to be Jewish.

The false claim that Israel had taken America to war in Iraq became a common meme on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2004, Thomas Friedman wrote that Ariel Sharon, then Israel’s prime minister, had President George W. Bush “under house arrest in the Oval Office”.

In London, a British colonel told me that “Ariel Sharon has his hand up Bush’s back” — and was astonished when I replied that Israel had told the United States it was Iran, not Iraq, that posed the greatest danger.
Well both Bush and Sharon turned out to be a very bad lot in their own ways, and took actions that got Israel to where it's at now. Let's not forget that. Neither one deserves any genuine awards like statues or institutions named after them, as a result. Neither did anything genuine to prevent Islamofascism from gaining more footholds, and thanks to that, this is exactly why we're now dealing with rocket attacks from Iran. Somehow, I doubt Sharon would give a damn, recalling he began his undeserved career as more of a leftist.

Anyway, the Federalist, much like other sites, has now published a report on the air strike the USAF conducted, and also noted:
Trump has long said Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and has favored negotiation and peace talks between Iran and Israel. But Iran has been unwilling to engage in a discussion that would lead to dismantling its nuclear weapons program.

The United States is reportedly the only country with so-called bunker-buster bombs large enough to potentially penetrate Iran’s deeply buried nuclear sites and the aircraft capable of delivering those bombs. Bunker-busters were needed to destroy the Fordow nuclear site, which was tunneled deep under a mountain in Iran.
Note that their report appears neutral, which is probably what to expect now that their shoddy opposition to destroying Iran's nuclear labs has been mooted. But it doesn't mean they're reevaluating, and that's sad. Regarding the whole description of neocons, I thought years ago it alluded to possible liberals who became supporters of conservatism. And, it quite possibly did. But now, we have a new problem emerging with defeatists who're hijacking the very slogan for bad purposes, and then the Federalist makes things worse by lecturing us that figures like Levin are neocons?!? Well that just proves how mendacious the actual neocons in this particular case really are. First take a certain slang and sully it, then pretend it's the folks who want to defeat barbarism who're neocons instead. What's the world coming to?

I'll give the Federalist staff credit for once acknowledging in the past that the first leaders of the modern Israeli state were sadly communists who'd acted sadistically towards their conservative rivals. But these latest op-eds make clear the site's writers are deteriorating in terms of objectivity, and from what I've noticed, their comprehension of Islam is very unclear, if at all. That's why I can't support their site anymore on a regular basis, because they're not being sufficient realists.

USAF destroys 3 nuclear sites in Iran

It looks like Donald Trump followed through on serious action in the USA when it comes to Iran's nuclear sites, joining the Israeli military and taking out key targets in Iran:
US President Donald Trump confirmed overnight Sunday that the US Air Force carried out extensive strikes on three key nuclear facilities in Iran, marking a dramatic escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict and the first time since the 1979 Iranian Revolution that the US has attacked major military targets inside Iranian territory. The sites targeted were Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

"We have completed a very successful strike,"
Trump wrote on his social media platform, TruthSocial. "All aircraft returned safely. Now is the time for peace!"

According to reports, the US Air Force used GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs, each weighing 30,000 pounds (13,600 kg), capable of penetrating the mountain over the Fordow facility. The decision came after weeks of internal deliberations in Washington, during which Trump weighed giving diplomacy another chance. But with no sign of progress from Tehran, he opted for military action.

Senior Israeli officials believe the US has been preparing to join the wider campaign and had begun logistical preparations well in advance.

Just hours before the airstrikes, Steve Bannon, Trump's former adviser and a leading voice among isolationist conservatives who oppose foreign interventions, hinted at the looming operation on his podcast, saying: "The party's starting."
One must wonder: does this mean Bannon, who was taking up a negative position through isolationism, was coming around and accepting Trump's stance after all? Well, that's why it's good Trump approved of this mission, because these isolationists can't be allowed to impede upon efforts to defeat evil entities abroad.

On the other hand, Democrat Charles Schumer has voiced his opposition to Trump's mission:
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who once claimed to be Israel’s “guardian” in Congress, put out a statement late Saturday night opposing President Donald Trump’s airstrike on Iran’s nuclear sites.

After a delay of several hours, and long after his colleagues — Republican and Democratic — had reacted, Schumer issued a statement criticizing the attacks and backing legislation to limit Trump’s war powers.

The criticism from Schumer and other Democrats echoes their criticism of his successful airstrike on Iranian terror general Qasem Soleimani, when they again cited constitutional limitations on the commander-in-chief.

In reality, Trump’s actions are constitutional, provided that he complies with deadlines established by the existing War Powers Resolution of 1973, which allows the president to conduct war, provided that he report to Congress within 60 days. Few Democrats objected when President Barack Obama used his war powers — even in excess of those allowed by the War Powers Resolution, as Breitbart News has noted in the past:
So once again, Schumer's proven himself a most repellent person, who'd rather rag upon Republicans no matter the deed than prove he recognizes serious issues when he sees them. Nobody should associate with such a reprehensible man. Donald Trump is the winner today, and Schumer's the disgrace.

Update: defense secretary Pete Hegseth gave a press conference telling how Iran's nuclear power is over.

Jewish Republican in Ohio was run off road by another anti-Israel criminal

Ohio representative Max Miller was endangered by a creep who held a PLO flag:
A House Republican said on Thursday that he was “run off the road” in Ohio by a “deranged” man who displayed a Palestinian flag before leaving the scene.

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), who is Jewish, spoke about his brush with “blatant antisemitic violence” in a post on X.

“The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off,” Miller said.

Miller noted that he filed a police report with the U.S. Capitol Police, as well as the local police department.

“We know who this person is and he will face justice,” Miller said. “As a Marine, a proud Jewish American and a staunch defender of Israel, I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence.”

According to Fox News, the Rocky River Police Department confirmed the incident had been reported and said an investigation had been opened.
Read the rest. It's tragic that Donald Trump now has to deal with this kind of disaster left over from the Biden administration now sweeping the country, to the point where even Congress members are in danger. Miller's family, thankfully, was unharmed in any of this. But now there's another monster out there who must be captured by authorities and exiled from the USA eternally.

Iran commits war crime by firing missile at hospital

In what amounts to a serious war crime, Iran fired missiles that struck the Soroka hospital in Be'er Sheva:
A ballistic missile launched by Iran toward Israel early Thursday morning hit the Soroka Medical Center in the Negev desert city of Be’er Sheva in what Army Radio called a “direct hit,” with casualties yet unknown.

[...] Israel’s Army Radio confirmed the impacts and reported that there was extensive damage at the hospital, though it was not known if anyone had been wounded. Hospitals, like other large public buildings in Israel, are equipped with bomb shelters.

Soroka is an important hospital in southern Israel that serves a large Arab population as well as Jewish communities. It is also the only Level 1 trauma center in the region, making it even more important.

Soroka has been in the news recently because it is a hospital that receives freed Israeli hostages, and because it is the hospital that receives wounded Israeli soldiers from combat against Hamas inside the Gaza Strip.

[...] Firing at a hospital is a war crime. Israel has conducted military operations against hospitals in Gaza, but those have been commandeered by Hamas terrorists, which is itself a war crime, and also causes such facilities to lose their protected status under international law.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been engaged in constant operations to destroy Iran’s missile launchers and its nuclear sites. Iran’s leaders had nevertheless been promising an aggressive attack against Israel.
After this horror, which many anti-Israeli governments and movements like won't condemn, the Israeli government is hopefully taking steps to really punish the monsters in Iran who are responsible for this. This is absolutely offensive.

Update: as Benjamin Netanyahu says, this is very serious and the ayatollah must pay for his crime.

Algerian Muslim interloper in France threatened underaged girl

The following horror left a family so traumatized they couldn't continue living in the same house anymore (via Front Page):
A French family has been left so traumatized by a home invasion and an attempted kidnapping of their 8-year-old daughter that they are selling their home and moving away.

In the harrowing case in Brétigny-sur-Orge, which occurred on April 21, an Algerian migrant conducted a home invasion of the family house armed with a pitchfork. Inside, he exposed his genitals to the family, demanded to leave with the small girl, and told the parents: “Give me the girl or I’ll kill you.”

The suspect, in his 20s and with multiple identities, was arrested on April 21, but his trial only started this week in Evry Criminal Court. A judge has ordered the trial postponed pending for a hearing from a psychiatric expert after the defendant claimed to “hear voices.” [...]

Given the man’s potential psychiatric evaluation, it is possible he will not serve any prison time. Many defendants in Europe realize that claiming psychiatric illness is the ticket to a more lenient sentence and the ability to avoid jail by being placed in a psychiatric institution.

Remix News has long documented instances of foreigners participating in home invasions across France, including raping the victims in numerous cases, and in others, even committing assaults and murders.
When psychological issues are allowed to sever to the fullest as a shield, it's abominable, especially when the judiciaries themselves turn out to be fully siding with the criminals. The judicial system in France and even Britain has been virtually destroyed by the way ideologues were shoehorned into jobs they don't deserve, and they, along with many other bad apples, owe families like these an apology.

EU was funding MB

Yehuda Balanga tells how the European Union has been funding the Muslim Brotherhood, and endangering the continent to sharia that way:
Europe is undergoing a profound transformation. In the name of liberalism, democracy, and human rights, the continent is on a path that could lead to a Euro-Islamic future.

Recent intelligence reports from Western agencies have raised alarms about the creeping Islamization of Europe, particularly in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Spain. This concern extends beyond demographic changes driven by migration that began in the 1960s. The reports highlight a subversive effort to infiltrate social and governmental institutions from within, with the ultimate goal of establishing Sharia-based governance.

The Muslim Brotherhood emerges as a central player in these reports, operating on both local and European levels. Under the guise of youth movements, social organizations, or welfare charities, the group projects a liberal image while advancing its Islamist agenda. Its strategy focuses on influencing Muslim communities, reshaping public consciousness, and gaining political legitimacy to push for legislative changes and special religious rights
. Western intelligence agencies describe this approach as "bottom-up Islamization," a deliberate tactic to transform societies gradually.

Although the Muslim Brotherhood is not classified as a terrorist organization in Europe, security services in multiple countries closely monitor its activities, viewing it as an ideological and subversive threat to democratic order. [...]

Paradoxically, the Muslim Brotherhood exploits Western tools to achieve its objectives, even receiving funding from the European Union and Western governments. For instance, over the past decade, the EU has provided more than €40 million to Islamic Relief Worldwide, an organization allegedly tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite presenting itself as a humanitarian charity, Islamic Relief Worldwide promotes extreme antisemitic, anti-Western, and homophobic views. In 2020, its deputy director, Tayeb Abdoun, was sacked after posting a Facebook image of a knife with a caption endorsing violence: "Lay the bodies of the Jews on the top of the mountains, so that no dog in Palestine must suffer hunger."
It's bad enough Qatar's been a major funder of this, but we mustn't overlook that the EU would willingly enable such abuse and horror, as did any western governments. This is horrific, and now, much of Europe has suffered horribly as a result of something that was surely planned for decades.

Colonel Richard Kemp says Israel is capable of destroying the Fordow nuclear center in Iran

Former UK military commander Richard Kemp was interviewed by Israel National News, and he spoke about the serious importance of defeating the nuclear laboratory in Iran's Fordow region:
Col. Kemp praised Israel's accomplishments in Iran since the operation began early Friday morning. "Israel has achieved strategically important success in a very short time. The elimination of so many members of Iran’s military hierarchy is a devastating blow that will leave the regime reeling. It will be very hard or impossible to replace their expertise any time soon. The same goes for the elimination of the nuclear scientists. It seems Israel has severely diminished offensive weapons capability, including knocking out at least one-third of its ballistic missile launchers. The Director General of the IAEA assesses all 15,000 centrifuges at Natanz have been severely damaged or destroyed in air strikes."

He believes that it was necessary for Israel to strike Iran's nuclear facilities when it did. "Before the war began, Israel had received intelligence confirming Iran had commenced weaponisation of highly enriched uranium, a new step. At the same time, the IAEA confirmed Iran had enough 60% enriched uranium for 10 or so bombs and that could be further enriched to weapons grade within 2 weeks. That made a military strike essential. Imagine if just one of Iran’s ballistic missiles that have been fired into Israel had a nuclear warhead. Potentially huge numbers killed. That’s why this operation was necessary, not just for Israel but for the region and the world. [...]

When asked about the Fordow nuclear facility, believed to be the most difficult of Iran's nuclear facilities to strike because of its location beneath a mountain, he responded that, "The Israeli National Security Adviser has said Fordow can be dealt with by Israel alone. As a minimum, Israel can inflict significant damage to this facility and perhaps knock it out completely using its own capabilities."
We must definitely hope it can be done. As Kemp also notes, Iran's totalitarian regime poses a threat to the rest of the world too, and in the past, they'd attacked targets in Argentina. This is exactly why it's time to bring down their regime, and if it takes a whole shipload of bunker buster bombs to destroy Fordow, so be it. Even that mountain region laboratory of death cannot be allowed to stand.

Tucker Carlson is an utter embarrassment

If there's any pseudo-conservative "reporter" who's causing more harm than good for Israel today, it's Tucker Carlson, who's opposed to Israel defending itself from Iran's missile attacks, which have already tragically caused several murders, and even Arabic residents of Israel were victims. Fortunately, Donald Trump did the right thing by taking issue with Carlson over his shoddy positions:
President Donald Trump spent part of his Monday trolling Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host questioned the president’s handling of Iran and conflict in the Middle East.

Last week in a newsletter, Carlson accused Trump of being “complicit” in Israel’s strikes against Iran that sparked the current days-long exchange between the two Middle Eastern powers. The newsletter arrived in the inboxes of Carlson’s readers under the headline: “This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.”

“Earlier this week, unnamed Washington sources expressed concern over Israel’s ability to fend off Iran’s retaliation, which would inevitably lead to Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the American military to step in and fight on his country’s behalf,” Carlson wrote. “On Thursday, Iran’s president threatened to ‘destroy’ any country that eliminates his government’s nuclear facilities. Now, the world will learn what that looks like.”

Trump responded to Carlson’s criticisms while attending the Group of Seven Summit in Canada.

“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday evening. [...]

Trump’s support for Israel and his Middle East policy appears to have alienated Carlson, as well as other isolationist-minded supporters. The comic Dave Smith recently called for Trump’s impeachment over the president’s handling of Iran.
See, this is a serious problem the USA regrettably has that was doubtless prevalent in some areas during WW2 - isolationists who don't want to quash tyranny and barbarism through the pathetic excuse that it's occurring outside the USA boundaries, and also because "their culture is different from ours". And then you wonder how these problems eventually end up affecting the USA in the end.

Jonathan Tobin, while very questionable in his conduct (he refused to defend Trump after he lost 2020's election to the awful Joe Biden) did address the topic in a way that's interesting:
Who is losing the most in the successful strikes on Iran by the Israeli Defense Forces? At the top of the list is, obviously, the Islamist regime itself. It has had its terrorist infrastructure in the form of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as what is left of its military, decapitated. And, of course, it has suffered significant damage to its nuclear facilities, in addition to its oil and gas industry, which is the foundation of the despotic government’s already-shaky economy.

We don’t know yet what this will mean for the future of the theocratic regime that has maintained power since it took over the country in 1979. And it’s still far from clear whether the credibility lost by the way that the Israeli Air Force has been able to operate with impunity, destroying the government’s assets and leaders, will be enough to shake off their tyrannical grip on a nation that desperately needs to replace them.

The other big loser in this struggle is a “woke right” faction of the conservative movement in the United States that opposes Israel and has been fervently opposed to any action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons
. More to the point, this rag-tag group of talk-show hosts, right-wing influencers and social-media gurus who can’t seem to mention Israel without betraying their antisemitic tendencies has lost President Donald Trump.

Or to be more precise, they never really had him.

The Tucker Carlson factor

The most prominent of these voices on the right is former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose shows and posts on the X platform reach many millions of people. As I’ve noted previously, Carlson is adamant about his distaste for Israel and his willingness to shill for the Iranian regime as well as its ally Qatar.

But he’s just the most well-known and loudest of a group of people who have utilized the Internet to create the impression that Trump’s voters share their views about foreign policy—most specifically, when it comes to Israel and Iran. What they have failed to understand is that their soft spot for Tehran—a government that has never wavered from its belief that America was the “Great Satan” with whom they were locked in perpetual conflict—had nothing to do with what Trump has dubbed his “America First” foreign policy.

As polls have consistently shown, Republicans and conservatives overwhelmingly support Israel, even as Democrats and the political left have abandoned it. Yet Carlson and his woke right acolytes, imitators and supporters are certain that Trump will lose his MAGA supporters if he continues to support Israel and doesn’t pursue a policy of appeasing Iran. However, as Trump said in an interview in The Atlantic, he’s the one who decides how to define “America First,” not Carlson and the trolls he platforms or plays to via the Internet.
People like Carlson have to be ostracized by the more sensible crowd, due to his defeatist positions. His anti-Israel positions are insufferable, and if this is the standing he's going to take, along with others of his shoddy ilk, then it's doubtful he wants to defeat the enemies already inside the USA's borders, like the Islamofascists in Michigan, and in New York. Carlson and even Smith are a very sorry case, and nobody should pay money to see the latter's entertainment programs if that's how he's going to go about his business either. So, there's one so-called "conservative" who doesn't deserve a showbiz audience. And as for Carlson, it's high time he retired.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
