Former US president sharply criticises Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with Time Magazine
ed note–once again, ladies and Gentile-men, for those who have followed this website since the beginning of the entire ‘Trump Phenomenon’ back in 2016 and who bothered to apply just a smidgeon of critical thinking skills, the fact that there has been/is no ‘bromance’ between DJT and Netanyahu was obvious from the very beginning (to those who were paying close attention, that is) despite all the ‘pro-Israel’ gestures which Trump made as part of his ‘art of the deal’ in attempting to pre-empt the very same WWIII/Armageddon which is unfolding right now in real-time as we speak.
The readers of this website will recall that somewhere between a million and a billion times it was pointed out here on this humble little informational endeavor in the most conclusive of evidentiary facts that–despite what was put out there for public consumption, neverthless–a behind-the-scenes war between the DJT White House and the Likud government of Benjamin Netanyahu was raging, and this over the issue of Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ that would have seen the reining in of the Jypsy State and the creation of ‘Palestine’, as chewed away and whittled down to nothing as it would have been.
These facts were proven conclusively within the pages of the book written by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid entitled ‘Trump’s Peace’, wherein DJT personally describes the war between him and Netanyahu that existed from the very beginning of Trump’s taking the reins in 2017 and which ended with his reelection being stolen from him from the ‘Deep State’ which, as far as everyone ‘in-the-know’ understands all too well, is Israel.
To that end therefore, the fact that now, AN ENTIRE 7 YEARS AFTER THE FACT, the ‘intelligentsia’ of the ‘resistance’ is finally waking up to the fact that Trump was not as ‘pro-Israel’ as he was touted being but was instead engaged in a ‘charm offensive’ aimed at paralyzing Netanyahu politically so that Trump could finally, after so many failed attempts by previous POTUS administrations, put the lid on this nuclear reactor known as the Israeli/Palestinian situation before it went critical, which it has now with Israel’s pre-meditated attacks taking place on Oct. 7th, underscores just how much a day late and a dollar short the entire ‘movement’ really is.
And make no mistake about it, ladies and Gentile-men–Oct. 7th took place as part of Netanyahu’s ‘October Surprise’ so that by the time elections take place in the US a year later, (assuming of course that they even do) that this war will be SO BIG and SO HOT that not even Trump himself will be able to put it out.
Now, to be fair to that same ‘movement’ that allowed itself to be used and abused by the Neocons in acting as ‘useless idiots’ in helping bring down DJT in 2020 with their incessant and mindless braying that Trump was ‘owned by d’Jooz’ and who now might be asking WHY he didn’t just ‘come out of the closet’ and explain what he was really trying to do, remember that his biggest base of electoral support in America is represented by nutcases such as this–
Christian hate-preacher Greg Locke delivered a predictably insane sermon this morning calling for Israel to "make the Gaza Strip a parking lot" by next week.

Middle East Eye
Former US President Donald Trump did not rule out a withdrawal of military aid to Israel over its ongoing war on Gaza in an interview published by Time on Tuesday.
The Republican, who is likely to win his party’s candidacy for the US presidential election in November, also criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to stop the Hamas attack on 7 October.
In his meandering interview style, Trump praised Israel, condemned Hamas and Iran and avoided the issue of whether Washington will turn off the taps to its ally as it conducts a military campaign that has killed at least 34,000 Palestinians, the vast majority of them women and children.
Trump was asked, ‘Would you consider withholding aid?’
His answer did not address the question but included criticism of the way Israeli soldiers had conducted the war.
The former president said: ‘I think that Israel has done one thing very badly: public relations. I don’t think that the Israel Defence [Forces] or any other group should be sending out pictures every night of buildings falling down and being bombed with possibly people in those buildings every single night, which is what they do.’
He was then asked whether he would rule out withholding or conditioning aid, to which he said: ‘No.’
When pressed, Trump continued to avoid the question, instead criticising Netanyahu, as well as praising his own record on countering Iranian influence in the Middle East.
Losing the PR war
Trump’s candidacy on the Republican ticket is all but confirmed, as he leads his closest rival Nimarata Nikki Haley by 1,977 delegates to 97 in the Republican primary elections.
While a strong supporter of Israel, with a track record in office to boot, Trump has criticised Israel and its leaders over its inability to stop the 7 October attack and its failure achieve its military objectives in Gaza.
Earlier in April, Trump told a conservative radio host that Israel should ‘get it over with’, adding, ‘ let’s get back to peace and stop killing people’.
‘I’m not sure that I’m loving the way they’re doing it,’ he continued.
Describing the footage of destruction caused by Israel to Gaza’s infrastructure, he said the images were, ‘the most heinous, most horrible tapes of buildings falling down’.
‘They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big,’ he added.
Trump has repeatedly labelled himself the most pro-Israel president in US history, noting his decision to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and his backing of Israel’s claim to sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.
Current US President Joe Biden faces a tough challenge in November against a candidate who refused to accept he lost the 2020 contest.
Biden’s base is in turmoil amidst discontent over his enthusiastic support for Israel with many younger voters vowing not to help him get reelected.
Israel faces genocide charges at the International Court of Justice, which were filed by South Africa, as well as possible investigation by the International Criminal Court.
Not only is Israel losing supporters on the left, but conservatives are also increasingly questioning Washington’s unconditional support of the state.
