The situation is simple…
Trump will do whatever he wants to do. He’s the President of the United States, and believes he answers to nobody but himself.
So be it.
When he started his second term, he was indeed the best US president in terms of his support for Israel.
Many are now asking “What’s changed”. The answer is simple, and Trump himself answers this question with almost every second thing he says now…
Supporting Israel is simply not financially beneficial when he could be earning himself and his family, not America or Americans, more money than he knows what to do with. Arabs come with near trillions. They will lavish him with giant Boeing 747’s, billions in cash, all the oil he wants, and a way to make billions more of the stock markets. Every single decision he makes whether good or bad has bets placed against them instantly, and people make a heck of a lot of money in hours. Then whatever happens next is irrelevant.
Israel for its part simply can’t compete. For years all the podcasters and propagandists have been crying out how Israel owns America and all the politicians and banks and media, and it was all an inversion of reality. Qatar and the other Arab states have pumped hundreds of billions into buying American universities and media and investment firms and crypto and… politicians. Not Israel. But Qatar. And Saudi. And Iran. And Turkey.
And now, 18 months on, President Trump is the best US president the hardline annihilationist Arab world has ever had.
It pays to be the bad guys. It doesn’t pay to be the good guys. And very often good doesn’t triumph over evil because evil doesn’t play by the rules and evil has more blood money to throw around.
It is what it is. Moaning about it is pointless. In just 9 months, Hamas, after committing October 7, have been saved. So too have Hezbollah (twice) and the Islamic regime after massacring 40000+ people are free to carry on as was.
Turkey who are equally as bad if not worse and more evil than the Islamic regime are courted and schmoozed, and every jihadist murderous state is praised as “a dear friend”.
Meanwhile, the only country in the entire world who actually stood by America and sacrificed its own soldiers to fight alongside them is mocked and threatened by the administration, the PM ridiculed and talked down to, and all this while the entire Arab world and NATO abandoned America.
But with literally everything that we’ve seen and been through over the past 3 years, with Oct 7 being followed by the world turning on Israel and standing with those who butchered and raped our people, and allowed the worst plague of antisemitic hatred to spread like a wildfire, why is anybody even surprised. Deniers still throw out “it’s a game. It’s 4D chess” and simply cannot accept what’s crystal clear in front of them.
With what’s happened and happening just over the past two months alone, Trump hasn’t stopped any war or prevented Iran from having a nuclear bomb.
He absolutely guaranteed that next war is coming and will be far worse than any before it. And the Islamists he’s courting will very likely have the bomb, if not already.
Again, none of this should be shock when you take a step back and just see what’s right in front of you. And unlike many, I get visibility of what isn’t in front of everybody too. So it’s doubly as unsurprising or shocking. It’s quite predictable, all the signs were there so early on that it is not a surprise.
Life sucks sometimes. We just need to carry on. What’s important is how Netanyahu for now, and whomever may possibly replace him in the future reacts and acts to it all. Now is when Israel needs to go it alone. No more dependency on allies who repeatedly show they will switch in a heartbeat. There is very little difference between Obama and Biden and Trump when it comes to the Middle East. We need to decide our own destiny. Nobody else will.
