"CBN" Lakewood Media Chat Suggests that the "US Shouldn't Supply Weapons to Israel"

 

DIN: According to SIPRI data ,US exports 24% of all its arms to Saudi Arabia, its largest customer by far. 
27% were to the Asia Pacific Region, 16% were to Europe and Central Asia, 5.4% were to South Asia, 2.7% were to Africa, and 2.6% to other countries in the Americas!

Israel and the US share intelligence that the USA does not do with anyone else! In addition, the Iron Dome and David's Sling were all invented by Israel's scientists, so the USA and Israel have a mutual relationship benefiting both! 

To suggest, even as a sarcastic remark, that the "US shouldn't supply Israel with weapons" is so vile that I cannot wrap my head around this remark coming from Yeshivishe frum communities! 

If any goy would have made this very statement, everyone, including CBN would have jumped all over this guy calling him an antisemite!

So, where does this come from?
It comes from Yeshivishe Moisdois embedding their naive students with this filthy "far-krumta" hate against the State of Israel, a home for the majority of the Jewish people! 
So even though CBN is now run by business people, they cannot escape from  their DNA, which is diseased by this perverted, vile Hashkafa! 

If any other country in the world were to open its borders for ALL Jews and provide them a home like Israel does, they would call it a "Medina shel Chesed" but because it's the State of Israel, then it's ok to suggest, albeit sarcastically that the USA not supply weapons to Israel! 

Last week, millions of Jews living in the State of Israel commemorated three special days, Yom Hashoah, Yom Ha'Zikoron and finally Yom Hatzmo'ot! 
This was celebrated and commemorated by the majority of the entire Jewish World's population! Yet, the frum media didn't even give it an "Honorable Mention;" they totally ignored it! I'm not Chas Ve'sholom suggesting they agree with this all I'm asking is that they mention it! 
I don't know if CBN did, I'm new to them! But Ami, Mishpacha, FJJ totally ignored events commemorated by the majority of the Jewish people! The Israeli Frum Chats all talked about it, including Bechadrei Chadorim! 

This tells me that their spiritual leaders are totally disconnected, clueless, and apathetic to their brothers and sisters living in the Land that the RBS"O gifted to us! Not only are they apathetic, but "farkert" they are fire and brim against this country to fuel their own interests to keep their sheep remaining in Chutz Le'aaretz, to fund their sick ideology! 
This is how a vile, filthy comment comes about! 
מי כעמך ישראל

From CBN!!!

Ben Shapiro criticized President Trump for advising Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to "hold off" on striking Iran during nuclear talks, arguing that Israel should act independently of U.S. diplomatic considerations and make its own security decisions.

Israel is not involved in those [Iran-US nuclear] negotiations. 

So why should Israel hold off? Israel is the country most under threat from Iran, not the U.S.

The question, tho, that many are asking in response is that if we want to go with the approach that Israel's security is independent of the US, then the US shouldn't supply weapons to Israel.

Is Trump buying the Iranian Deception?

 

Mike Tyson once famously said, "Everyone has a plan until they get a punch in the face." I admire the simple, yet profound, wisdom in that brief statement. This life lesson, which awaits anyone who hasn’t yet encountered it, seems to be unfolding before our eyes in the case of President Trump.

Dealing with unpredictable figures like Putin and the Ayatollah differs significantly from engaging with those who regard the lives and happiness of their subjects as worthy or valuable. These extremists think and act in ways that starkly contrast with rational individuals who pursue win-win outcomes in negotiations. Instead, they adopt an all-or-nothing approach, indifferent to the cost in their own people’s lives as long as their objectives are met.

This observation extends beyond the two mentioned earlier. It is a characteristic commonly seen in dictators who govern with minimal support from their citizens. The only effective way to negotiate with them is to apply pressure and threats that target them directly, rather than solely affecting their country’s population. They show little concern for their citizens, focusing solely on their own interests, which should be the primary target President Trump aims for when dealing with these tyrants.

President Trump has voiced strong confidence that reason would guide his dealings with Putin, but he has been proven wrong. He struggles to understand irrational actors, having been shaped by a Western democracy where leaders are held accountable through fair elections and must meet voter expectations to secure re-election, a rational system.

Dictators, however, operate with a completely different mindset, employing deceptive negotiation tactics that appear to involve compromise but conceal a hidden agenda that undermines any agreement they sign. For them, it is an all-or-nothing approach. History stands as my evidence.

Elon Musk concludes his role as a top advisor to President Trump:


 Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced on Wednesday the conclusion of his term as a top adviser to President Donald Trump, a role in which he spearheaded efforts to streamline federal bureaucracy and reduce spending.

Musk confirmed his departure on X, his social media platform, stating, "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."

A White House official, who requested anonymity, confirmed Musk's exit to The Associated Press.

Musk’s departure closely follows his public critique of President Trump's signature legislative initiative, dubbed the "big beautiful bill." Speaking to CBS, Musk characterized the legislation, which combines tax cuts with enhanced immigration enforcement, as a "massive spending bill" that escalates the federal deficit and "undermines the work" of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful," Musk remarked, "But I don't know if it could be both."

President Trump, in response to the criticism, defended his agenda by acknowledging the complexities of legislative negotiation. "I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it," he stated, hinting at potential future modifications.

Musk was named by Trump as one of the leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency soon after Trump was elected to a second term in office in November. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy was to have led the department together with Musk, but he stepped away from that role hours after Trump took office in January.

Reports last month indicated that Trump had informed his Cabinet and people close to him that Musk would resign from the government soon.

The report came soon after Musk announced that he intends to launch an investigation into the sources of wealth of American congress members who have accumulated vast fortunes, despite an average annual salary of only $174,000.

Ori Megidish recounts: I asked for signs from God while in captivity - and received them


 Ori Megidish, the first hostage who was rescued from captivity in Gaza, revealed on Channel 12’s program “Uvda”, which aired on Wednesday evening, the personal story behind the hardships of her captivity—and the faith that never left her for a moment.

"I had faith that God was by my side, watching over me and would get me out of there," Megidish said, adding that she repeatedly sought signs from above: "I would ask a question, like if I’m supposed to get out of here, let there be a boom. And then there was a boom. There were all sorts of signs."

On another occasion, she asked God to see a butterfly as a sign from heaven. "Suddenly, one of the captors pulled out a toy shaped like a very colorful butterfly. I started smiling, even though I had stitches in my face—I felt He was with me."

During her third Shabbat in captivity, IDF bombings struck the house where she was held. "The ceiling collapsed, the house was engulfed in flames. I didn’t even feel that I was injured." Only later did she realize she had a skull fracture. Megidish recalled that the doctors who treated her in captivity stitched her face without anesthesia. "It was pain you can’t describe," she recounted.

At the moment of her rescue, Megidish was asleep. "There’s gunfire outside, and when I realize something is happening, I go behind the fridge and crouch down. I shout in Hebrew, I don’t know why, but it was like I felt, I don’t know, that this was a rescue."

Standing before her was a soldier who looked like a local, with no identifying marks. "I was conflicted—thinking it could have been another kidnapping, at that level. It could have happened." As they began to drive away, Megidish heard the soldier speaking in Hebrew. "I remember exchanging glances with him, and I saw how excited he was."

Israel Quietly Used Laser System to Down Hezbollah Drones During War

 

The Israeli military revealed it had secretly deployed a new laser interception system during last year’s conflict with Hezbollah, successfully downing dozens of explosive-laden drones over northern Israel.

The system, a compact version of Rafael’s “Iron Beam,” was rushed into use amid a wave of more than 300 drone attacks. The Defense Ministry said the system delivered “particularly high interception achievements,” protecting both civilians and strategic assets.

The full-scale Iron Beam is expected to be handed over to the IDF later this year.
