Erasing The Palestinians’ National Identity: Netanyahu’s Means Of Achieving Greater Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu does not seek a negotiated peace with the Palestinians; instead, he perpetuates constant hostilities as a means to incrementally seize ever more territory in the West Bank...

Trump And Netanyahu Are Chasing An Illusion In Iran

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have launched a campaign against Iran with maximalist aims and minimalist means. They speak the language of regime change, but the political, military, and social preconditions are not present. The result will not be transformation in Tehran, but a high-risk spiral toward open-ended war that may engulf the region and…

From Anti-Russian McCarthyism To Pro-Russian Trumpism

Back in the 1950s, in the United States, even a whisper of sympathy for Russia or the Soviet Union was unthinkable and seen as almost traitorous. The eventual rise of McCarthyism was all about rooting out what were presumed to be “un-American activities”, i.e., anything that could be perceived as socialist or communist. A curious…

Trump And MAGA: The Conduit For A White Supremacist Agenda

Trump’s rhetoric and policies on immigration and citizenship consistently elevate white, especially European, migrants while targeting non-white communities for exclusion, removal, or diminished political power. His efforts collectively push a racial hierarchy embedded in state policy. Framed as “security,” “merit,” or “rule of law,” these measures function to narrow the American electorate and safeguard long-term…

Immigrants Are What Made America Great

Trump’s immigration policy is destroying America’s greatness Immigrants are the backbone of America’s greatness—powering its economy, enriching its culture, and advancing its global leadership. Yet under the guise of making America great again, Trump’s exclusionary, racist policies are dismantling that very foundation, stifling innovation and tarnishing the nation’s moral standing. To understand the magnitude and…

Open-source accounts indicate that Netanyahu was a central, sustained advocate of military action against Iran. Reporting reconstructs months of joint US–Israeli planning, framed publicly as preemption and regime change after stalled nuclear talks. Netanyahu pressed Trump repeatedly to abandon diplomacy, including in a December 2025 Mar-a-Lago meeting where he sought a green light for Israeli strikes, and in an Oval Office session on February 11, in which the two leaders discussed “prospects of war” and even possible dates. These efforts aimed to ensure Washington would not block, and ideally would join, an Israeli move. The decision to strike is seen as a “victory for Netanyahu,” yet it should be stressed that Trump’s own instincts, Saudi lobbying, and domestic political calculations were integral to the final US choice, which may well blow up in Trump’s and Netanyahu’s face.

Every Supreme Court Justice must remember that the world is watching and that history is recording every vote they cast. Will they put aside partisanship and save the country, or allow a sick man to sacrifice our democracy on the altar of an evil he exemplifies?

Netanyahu betrayed Jewish communities around the world by subjecting them to the rise of antisemitism because of his horrendous treatment and killing of Palestinians. He betrayed Israel’s friends and allies around the world. He betrayed the Arab states that made peace with Israel on the premise of bringing an end to the conflict with the Palestinians and ushering in a renaissance to the region. Instead, he plunged the region into turmoil and instability, making it impossible for other Arab states to normalize relations with Israel. He betrayed Jewish values that have sustained the Jews throughout the diaspora for millennia and destroyed the moral foundation on which Israel was built, turning it into a pariah state reviled by its foes and deeply disappointing to its friends. ...

I agree.

wait for your time to be the prime minister, then you can implement your concrete agenda that will bring peace between you and your perceived neighbors. you can contest to be the man if you want ok

Gee I wonder how antisemitism rose before Israel existed....

I would put money on you not being able to find a single member of any governmental or pseudo governmental organization in either Gaza or the West Bank that would be in a favor of a two state solution, or a democratic secular “Palestine” (in their territory or a singular one where they join peacefully with Israel. Either now, or before Oct 7/23

What was the cause before Israel?

But still, you have to admit that the attack on Iran has already been a huge success. Huge. Trump and BB have forced the Iranians to replace a very old ayatollah with a younger ayatollah. It cost a lot of money and lives and lost sleep for the israelites, but that is quite an achievement, don’t ya think?

"The world's" selective outrage only for "Palestinians" and no one else is nothing but a smoke screen for Jew hate.

Netanyahu rose to power because the Palestinians wouldn't negotiate in good faith with Israel. You can't bring an end to the conflict with the Palestinians if they don't have any desire to end the conflict. And he's normalized relations with more Arab countries than any other Prime Minister. I wish it was otherwise, but the evidence has been contrary to your beliefs.

Just as trump does not represent the majority of Americans, he is not a reflection of who we are, this too is also a mirror for the Jewish people. netanyahu, like trump, does not represent most Jews. He does not represent Judaism any more than trump represents Christianity. Yes, there are Israelis who support netanyahu and his inhumanity, just like there are MAGA followers who support trump's inhumanity. As the US has ICE gestapo agents, Israel has the IDF gestapo agents. But these do not represent most Jews. If you take the religion out of this, trump and netanyahu are just some horrible human beings causing pain, suffering and death to innocent people. They are the ones to stop, not Jewish and Christian people in general. I don't know how many Israelis have supported netanyahu because he has controlled what media is released from Israel. I do know that here in the US the majority of Americans do not support trump. Israelis who have opposed netanyahu and his inhumanity need to step up so the world knows there is opposition to the inhumanity from within.

There’s always a silver lining. And here it is: The mask is OFF. For decades, Palestinians were told we were lying. Exaggerating. Playing victim. “Complicated conflict.” “Both sides.” Not anymore. The entire world is now watching — in real time — what happens when a militarized, expansionist political ideology operates with zero accountability and unlimited backing from the most powerful country on earth. This was never about religion. It’s about political Zionism as a state power structure — an extremely dangerous ideology that fused itself to U.S. foreign policy, embedded itself in Washington, and ensured 78 years of blank checks, weapons shipments, and diplomatic immunity. Seventy-eight years. And now Americans are watching: • Their tax dollars funding endless wars/genocide while they can't afford healthcare. • Their soldiers put in body bags • Their global reputation crumble • Their own stability shaken to the core All for a depraved Zio-white-Jewish-supremacist government that answers to no consequences. That’s not antisemitism. That’s reality. The silver lining? The gaslighting era is over. You cannot tell people “this is self-defense” while the entire world watches destruction unfold on their screens. You cannot call it “security” when it destabilizes an entire region — and now drags the United States deeper into conflict. For Palestinians, this moment is tragic. But it’s also clarifying. Because for the first time in 78 years, the world is seeing what we’ve been screaming about. And once people see it — they can’t unsee it.. Welcome to our reality!

Israel was not built on moral foundations! You clowns

Oh, he loves it. He loves the antisemitism that is spreading around the world. He doesn’t care about Jewish people look at how he massacred those children in Israel at that festival under the Hannibal directive. He will sacrifice every last year on the planet to get his agenda done

This man spent decades trying to convince us that genocide and oppression is a Jewish value! Nope

Boob.

So we Israelis need to sacrifice our security in order for you to live comfortably in New York? Not gonna happen. If your neighbors expose their hatred to you *as a Jew* because of what Israel is doing, then the fault lies with the neighbors, not with anyone else.

Yup, it was getting better, but the Supreme Judenrat has other plans

Russia is using tens of thousands of Ukrainian children as tools of war. Speaking before the UN Security Council, UK minister Stephen Doughty described children torn from their families, stripped of their identities, and transferred to Russia. Ukraine has identified at least 20,000 children forcibly taken since the 2022 invasion. These acts are not collateral damage—they are policy. In 2023, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Russia’s children’s rights commissioner for the war crime of unlawful deportation. Peace without justice is complicity. These children must be returned. Accountability must follow. ... See MoreSee Less

His efforts collectively push a racial hierarchy embedded in state policy. Framed as “security,” “merit,” or “rule of law,” these measures function to narrow the American electorate and safeguard long-term white Republican dominance. A historical and civil rights-informed assessment of Trump’s record characterizes his immigration agenda—Muslim bans, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) terminations, birthright citizenship attacks, and selective refugee admissions—as advancing a racialized vision of US society. ...

Rehome all Sub-Sarahan refugees to Israel. No more third-world savages coming to Christian countries.

Netanyahu’s push for war has sharply polarized Israeli politics and security elites. Many in the security establishment privately warn that he drove Washington and Jerusalem toward maximalist goals—decapitation and regime collapse—without a credible endgame, compounding long-standing mistrust from ex Mossad and IDF chiefs over his Iran obsession. Critics inside and outside Likud see Netanyahu leveraging the Iran crisis to mute domestic opposition and corruption talk, portraying himself as an indispensable wartime leader. Although early operational “success” and US alignment have temporarily boosted Netanyahu’s standing among right-wingers, the longer the conflict drags on, the more regional blowback and economic pain mount, and the more vulnerable he becomes to renewed criticism, as he repeatedly mortgages Israel’s long-term security to his own political survival. ...

I like how he describes the IRGC regime as foreign occupation using clerical robes and terrorism. www.facebook.com/share/r/17NWBznk7K/

Gads. The end game is pretty clear. Has been stayed over and over. Take off your dang blinders.

Netanyahu is helping to play out end times prophecy. That is the end game.

Blame spineless republicans for not doing their job of Checks and Balances..

Jaki premier takie państwo

The end game is the elimination of the threat and terrorism from Iran.

🤮🤮🤮

Netanyahu is God's divine purpose and plan for Israel. He is the will of God for Israel .

Commandment.1 Evil shall not touch Thou Anointed. Thou had a dream Thou rose from bed, Thou had a dream Thou rose from the dead, Thou had a dream Thou heard what God said. All shall not hail lickers of the wall, All tyrants rise all tyrants fall. Left and right divided through talk. Both salty balls under 1 zionnic cok. That they suk, for a dirty bloody buk. like they suk life from the unfree, There ĺed by satan not by Thee Holy. yet surely there evil and hell bent, on killing babys of Innossent. There cursed to hell where they shall be sent, to burn in unholy excrement. for profit land greed gold and oil, A Genocide hidden under the soil. And Sands of time all truths shall be told, through words so bould a divine rhyme of the guilt they know they hold. For all the souls sent to heaven, by there own deep state government on and after nine eleven. Fooled and forced to fighting unjust war, to settle someone else's unjust score. A promise Thou shall keep, after three thousand years all evil shall reap. All evil in to the abyss, with all the souls Thou shall not miss. There is a list There is a list of all the bad colonists, of all the notty and Thou nice, Thou shall check this list twice. To the notty nice Thou shall not be, if Thou must tell you twice to set Thou People Free. To the miss led if Thou must tell you again, all you evil shall be dead from a curse of your own sin. A holy curse bestowed on evil men. With evil in there hearts minds and eyes, in Thou name all Thou righteous shall rise. To fight as Thou command, to take back Thou home Thou holy land Your loving lord and savior Christ and in the hearts of holy Men. Thou bestow the power to Win, against all evil against all odds, blessed be Thou Chosen with Thou might and that of all Thou Angelic Gods. Now know no fear of how only faith within, Thou holy spirit Thou holy name (Jesus Christ) Amen. 144...TheEnd.
