Why throw Israel under the bus?
🌻🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🧡Pro USA & Israel Reagan Republican@lou_twin

Vance Drops the Pretense JD Vance's Jew-baiting is no longer hiding in plain sight. It’s no longer something that has to be inferred from his choice of anti-Semitic allies, his serial flirtations with the rhetoric of the podcast right, or his clear displeasure whenever the Jewish state asserts itself in a way that conflicts with his political faction's priorities. It’s now out in the open. “If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government,” he said today, “I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.” Vance then added that Donald Trump is “the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.” We get it. Everyone hates Israel, and maybe they’re all onto something. Vance has been itching to say this for a long time, and Donald Trump’s failure in Iran finally gave him the opportunity. The president is letting JD be JD. Turns out, he’s exactly who I thought he was. Vance’s premise, it’s worth noting, is false. Israel has relations with dozens of countries and maintains significant strategic partnerships throughout the world, even with countries that criticize it obsessively. And while Vance claims that Israeli cabinet members are personally attacking Trump, they’ve merely commented on the Iran deal and what it means for Israel. But the real problem here is moral. Vance's formulation is intended to put Israel in a position that Jews know all too well: that of a people whose fate depends on staying in the good graces of a powerful ruler. And Jews in this circumstance, Vance was saying, should really know when they’re pushing their luck. The vice president wasn’t describing an alliance. He was describing dependence—a dependence that strips a nation of the right to disagree. The logic runs as follows: Because Israel needs American support, Israel must refrain from criticizing the American president. Because Trump is sympathetic to Israel, Israel should suppress its own judgments whenever those judgments conflict with his. It doesn’t matter that Israel hasn’t let a day of Trump’s presidency pass without expressing its gratitude for his support. What Vance is talking about is obedience. That’s not how alliances work. The United States has never expected Britain, France, Japan, or any other ally to surrender its voice in exchange for American protection. In a healthy alliance, partners are free to speak candidly when interests diverge. The alliance works because it’s rooted in shared aims and shared values, not because one side has purchased the silence of the other. But Trump doesn’t speak the language of shared values and, anyway, it’s time Israel was reminded that it’s subject to different rules. So Vance was instructing the Jewish state to remember who its protector is. Of course, Zionism emerged, in part, as a rejection of the idea that Jews should live at the mercy of leaders whose favor could be granted one day and withdrawn the next. That’s why anti-Semites can’t tolerate it. And the anti-Semites loved Vance’s reprimand. The anti-Jewish left cheered along with the groyper-adjacent right. “Finally!” Cenk Uygur wrote on X. “This is the kind of energy we need from our leaders. I hate to give @JDVance credit, but he’s obviously correct here. It’s infuriating to see them assume they can boss us around when we’re their only remaining ally and they owe us everything.” Actually, Israel is the only country “at this moment in time” that’s been unwavering in its support for the president and the only country that’s proved itself fighting alongside the United States in ages. You could say it’s the only powerful true ally that this administration has. And it will not be bound by the terms of Trump’s Iran deal or chastened by the scolding of JD Vance.

@lxrdVie @afroanalytic More than half of what are called blacks are whiter than they are black. Crazy that the Democrats still run the "One Drop Rule" and black people take it as word from God.

Dropping 1+ Megatons on Tehran would probably be the single biggest act of human evil ever. I hope whoever suggested it is never taken seriously again.

1. Move the US Navy out to dynamically blockade from afar if called upon. 2. Start bombing a little bit at a time if progress is not made - start with recently discovered places where IRGC is digging out or stashing -- and follow up with dual-use targets, giving a few minutes, or hours, or days notice ahead of the bombing. 3. Continue choking off funding until things are going well.

In 1990, a tiny premature baby weighing just 2 pounds 6 ounces arrived at the neonatal intensive care unit of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford. Born at only 29 weeks of pregnancy, he spent more than 40 days fighting for his life under the watchful care of dedicated nurses, including Vilma Wong, who lovingly helped look after him during his earliest and most fragile days. Twenty-eight years later, in 2018, Wong met a new doctor who had joined the hospital's pediatric neurology team. As they spoke, she learned that he had been born prematurely at the same hospital in 1990. Curious, she asked if his father had been a police officer. When he answered yes, both realized they shared a remarkable connection. The young physician was Dr. Brandon Seminatore, the very same premature infant Wong had once cradled in her arms and helped nurse back to health nearly three decades earlier. Brandon's parents still had a photograph taken in 1990 showing Wong holding their son, and they sent it to him, confirming the incredible reunion. For Vilma Wong, seeing the tiny baby she once cared for return to the same hospital as a doctor dedicated to helping children was deeply moving. For Dr. Seminatore, meeting the nurse who had been part of his fight for survival was a powerful reminder that the compassion shown in life's earliest moments can leave an impact that lasts a lifetime. Their reunion stands as a touching testament to the enduring bonds formed in medicine and to the extraordinary full-circle journeys that can unfold over the years.

@jackunheard These people are devoted to as much Trump failure as they can achieve. They don't have pride in the reflecting pool. They don't care about the pool and they will damage it if they think it will make Trump look bad. The story of our time - so many progressives hate the USA.

MSM has remained silent amid reports that thousands of white women have been targeted by Pakistani Muslim gangs in the UK. This is the consequence of mass immigration and multiculturalism.

Grace doesn't understand the language of violence. She's used to a superior power governing and moderating the extreme views. But, people at war, facing attacks, can go quite extreme -- and wise humans will realize judging and condemning combatants is a fool's job. Right now, all sides are bent out of shape and seething over the latest cease fire. That's probably the best possible outcome.

Come on now @X, I specifically laid out your rules and why Ben Gavirus violated them AND why you chose to leave it accessible for all to see. We don't need tagging. I didn't advocate for a genocide @elonmusk. Just covering the coverage dawg. Stop playing.

@msabouri @mehdirhasan So easy for me to be wrong, but I think he is fine with lying so long as it helps his side or hurts MAGA. I suspect he, like Ilhan Omar, is likely to favor other countries over the USA and is just pretending to be on the left.

Fauci spent his life, decades, saving lives; you on the other hand, in just a few months in government helped ended 100s of thousands of lives around the world and some estimates suggest the death toll could be in the millions. Not sure how you sleep at night.

I expect the US Navy to back off and be prepared to conduct a dynamic blockade if called upon. It can do that far away from the strait. I expect that once Trump thinks progress is not being made, he can slowly start bombing. First, anything that IRGC has been digging at in the rubble can be bombed again. Second, there are many dual-use targets. USA can give advance warning for many of these, maybe notifying a few minutes to a few days. And, finally, third, USA can continue to pinch off money flows to the IRI. For this to happen everyone's views can be completely different and the US can still prevail.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S.-Iran peace deal may be signed, but the next phase could get ugly fast. Iran may see the deal as a win: sanctions relief, frozen assets potentially released, a huge reconstruction package, and the Strait of Hormuz reopening after Tehran shut it down during the war. That puts Trump in a brutal spot, with Washington trying to keep the deal alive, Israel furious that the war ended too early, and Lebanon still sitting there as the easiest place for the whole thing to explode again. The real danger now is a messy peace: diplomacy in public, pressure behind the scenes, and sudden bursts of fighting every time one side tests the limits. Writer: Sol
