ed note–we’ll forego the usual extended commentary for something ‘short & sweet’, as the saying goes.
As a testimony to the truth that ‘the more things change, the more they remain the same’, all the usual suspects who made fools of themselves during the first Trump administration are back at it with a fury and doing it all over again.
Like a bad case of herpes, all the same stupid, 3-seconds-worth-of-research soundbites that were tossed around from 2016-2020 concerning Trump being ‘owned by Netanyahu’ are back as if they had never left, proving once again that we don’t have a ‘Jewish’ problem as much as we do a Gentile one.
Has Trump appointed ‘Israel Firsters’ to his cabinet?
Yes he has, or it at least it appears that way…
But he has also kept out of his administration REAL war hawks like Haley and Pompeo, and therefore the logical question that should be asked (but won’t) by all the ‘Trump is owned by d’Jooz’ screechers is WHY war hawks like Haley and Pompeo were not brought on board if, as these ‘experts’ claim, Trump is Netanyahu’s ‘puppet’ and is out to throw a bucket of gasoline on the already out-of-control fires in the Middle East.
And the answer, for those who bother to invest more than that aforementioned 3 second’s worth of research and contemplation before opening their mouths and making fools of themselves is that Trump is applying the same template/MO that he did from 2016 to 2020, which is to ‘wine and dine’ the pro-Israel elements, both in America and in the Jewish State, as part of his long-held plans for bringing peace to the region.
Will it be to the liking/satisfaction of the various pro-Palestinian camps around the world, including nations such as Iran that have fought for the rights of the Palestinian people for decades?
No…
Will it bring justice to the millions of innocent people in the Middle East whose lives have been run through the Judaic meatgrinder for the last century?
Not even close…
But will it BEGIN the process of caging the mangy, rabid mutt known as the Jewish state as part of that process of ending the suffering she has inflicted and impose some semblance of law and order in order to pull the burning fuse out of the ticking time bomb which the Armageddonista Jews have lit?
YES.
Times of Israel
Donald Trump Jr. said that he is working on ensuring that neoconservatives and war hawks are not included in his father’s next administration.
After American comedian Dave Smith tweeted, ‘We need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration,’ Trump Jr. responds, ‘Agreed!!! 100% 100% 100% I’m on it.’
The comment is the latest to reflect the apparent ascendancy of anti-war isolationists in Trump’s nascent second administration, amid fears that Israel could come under heavy pressure to end its wars against the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups and lose support for action it is planning to take against Iran.
Trump announced late Saturday that he would not appoint his former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo to roles in his next administration. According to Politico, the announcement came 30 minutes after the news site requested comment on a story about Pompeo’s bid to be defense chief being blocked by Trump Jr. and far-right commentator Tucker Carlson.
The pair are seen as leading the isolationists who appear to be fighting for influence against more hawkish conservatives. Vice President-elect JD Vance has apparently cast himself as part of the isolationist wing, stating last month that US and Israeli interests won’t always align and that the US doesn’t support a war with Iran, insinuating that Jerusalem does.
Why is he including Marco Rubio then?
ed note– for those who bothered to take note, Rubio voted against the most recent multi-billion dollar aid package to Israel.
War hawks are what Trump in putting in his admin.
ed note–‘In April, Rubio indicated that he had shifted away from unfettered support for foreign wars – which is more in line with Trump’s approach to foreign policy – when he voted against a package that provided emergency funding to Israel, arguing that the deal should have also included money for US border enforcement.’
