Learn to Trust Your Friend

Hasn’t Donald J. Trump proven himself to be the greatest friend of Israel in modern times? He recognized Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel, moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, recognized the annexation of the Golan Heights, freed the hostages, removed sanctions off of residents of Judea and Sameria, put sanctions on ICJ prosecutor Kahn, rapporteur Albanese, the ICC and ICJ. Dayenu (דַּיֵּנוּ) He vetoed every anti-Israel UN resolution, defunded the UN Human Rights Counsel, established a joint military command in Israel, based US warplanes and anti-missile batteries in Israel, posted US warships off Israels shores, sold Israel every weapon it wanted, and even went to war alongside Israel to end Iran’s ability to build a nuclear bomb. Dayenu (דַּיֵּנוּ) When President Trumps strongest supporters accuse him of being too pro-Israel, or being under Israels control, he cut them off and throws them out of MAGA. Dayenu (דַּיֵּנוּ) What more does he have to do? Hasn’t President Trump earned the trust of the Israeli nation and Jewish people by now?

Friendship is a two-way street:

So why have the recent US dealings with Iran caused Israelis and their supporters such concern? Why is Jerusalem said to be frustrated with the MOU between the US and Iran? Trump literally brags to the world media about his popularity in Israel. He does so proudly and unapologetically. But now Israelis are saying they fear he has abandoned them? How, after all President Trump has done, could anyone think he is going to turn his back on Israel? Perhaps Israelis have forgotten that friendship is a two-way street.

You must understand this very important fact; if President Trump loses his majority in the US House of Representatives in the November mid-terms, it is not just a political loss. The consequences for Trump are so much more. The Democrats will impeach him over and over again on fabricated charges. They will investigate him, as well as every official he has ever appointed, on baseless accusations. They will investigate every member of his family, as well as every person and company that is doing, or has ever done, business with the Trump Organization. Using false pretexts and made-up events they will cause their political operatives and friendly state level prosecutors, to sue him, his family, and his business over and over and try to bankrupt him.

President Trump cannot risk losing the majority in House or Senate in the midterms. Israel cannot afford to have a Democrat controlled congress after the mid-terms. Consider what the situation would be today if congress had been controlled by the Mandami wing of the Democrat party for the past two years. midterms. This is not the time to risk losing control of congress.

The Democrats have made Trumps support for Israel and the bombing of Iran, a major issue in the upcoming mid-terms. As a result of his unapologetic support for Israel, President Trump has put more than his political future at risk. He has put his freedom, as well as the future of the business he built for his children and grandchildren, on the line. President Trump has to win the mid-terms and retain a majority in the House.

Friendship is a two-way street. The president needs Israel’s help to win. He needs the support of the Israeli public and the Jewish people. What he doesn’t need is a lack of trust from the nation he has done more for than any single person in modern history, nor does he need pressure from his supporters. What is needed is for the Israeli public and media (including Miriam Adelson), to loudly and publicly state; “we trust President Trump, we deeply appreciate everything he has done for us, we are confident in his continuing support for the State of Israel, and we give our full backing, without exception, to all his efforts to bring peace to the middle-east.”

All is not as it seems:

The anxiety and concern regarding President Trump and the MOU stem from what’s being reported and commented on in the media. This anxiety and concern disappear once you accept this undeniable truth: We don’t know all the facts, we don’t have access to the intelligence, and we don’t know what the actual bomb damage assessment shows. All we have are stories about leaks, vague contradictory quips, and occasional mean tweets.

How quickly people forget the bait-and-switch Trump played on Iran before both recent bombing campaigns. An American real-estate magnate named Donald J. Trump has entered a middle-eastern hall of mirrors filled with Arabs and Persians. Only a fool would accept what he sees as real.

Here is why President Trump is doing what he is doing. With the mid-terms in mind, he is entering into fake negotiations with Iranian politicians. Trump is sending the VP, (an office which has been described as “not worth a bowl of hot spit”), to talk to Iranian politicians who cannot agree to anything if they want to prevent their heads from being separated from their shoulders. Trump is the producer of a show designed to drag the ceasefire out, keep the oil flowing and the price of fuel down for a few more months. He is also pre-bunking criticism that he is controlled by Israel or has an Israel first agenda. In the meantime Israel can snipe, shell and bomb Hezbollah all it wants, just on a low flame like a pot of cholent.

Once the midterms are over and his next two (2) years are secure, President Trump is free to act. He can and will finish off the Ayatollah regime, and green light Israel to finish off Hezbollah and Hamas. Once the Republicans win the mid-terms there is no power on earth that can stop him.

In the meantime all Israel has to do is trust its best friend. In the meantime all Israel should do and give voice to its appreciation and loyalty to President Trumps for his unwavering friendship. President Trump has earned the trust of the Nation and people of Israel many times over. What I do know without a doubt, to a 100% degree of certainty, is that President Trump will not let Israel or the United States down.
