Some coaches teach valuable and indelible lessons to their players that last lifetimes. Coach Bibi is the exact opposite, but Trump acts like he’s trying to walk in his footsteps. From Karen Kwiatkowski at lewrockwell.com:
Average Americans are concerned about the command relationship between the US and Israel. There is a growing awareness of the US funded and armed slaughter in Gaza. In 1967, over 50 years ago, Israelis created an open air concentration camp on the Strip. It held 2.3 million people by 2023, that number today reduced to around 1.5 million, with the population of Gaza City now killed or removed. Palestinian survivors are crowded into a tiny militarized area in the south without food, water or shelter. Most of Israel hopes that a third winter and outbreaks of disease will kill them all. Bibi Netanyahu and his murderous government are also at war with seven or eight other enemies, pot-shotting and assassinating around the region, and perhaps the world – while claiming full US government support.
The Trump campaign was funded by a number of Jewish Zionists who gambled that a Trump in the hand is worth two neoconservatives in the bush. We find few neocons in Washington who will compliment Trump these days; most, like Iraq war cheerleaders David Frum and Bill Kristol are openly contemptuous.
Critics of neoconservatives were long labeled anti-Semitic, and today Trump is arguably more neoconservative than the original thinkers and politicians who proudly endorsed Netanyahu’s twenty-five year old plan for Greater Israel, and worked for US boutique wars and regime changes to assist in the implementation of the Likud Party’s “Clean Break.”
Trump may or may not understand the nuances of neoconservatism; he’s more people person than academic. But he’s got a coach today in Netanyahu, and Bibi’s four personal visits to the White House and numerous phone calls have changed Donald Trump in several noticeable ways.
That Hebrew Yammer wrestler with Bibi needs to be a sports card.
Saw a Ted Cruz Topps as the missile with Remphan star onesie and LOL.
Joined at the hip with kippah means empire goes bye bye.
Twas ever thus.
