If you are confused about what happened in the past 96 hours, that’s understandable.
Cliff notes. The Occam’s Razor was always accurate. President Trump didn’t want to escalate with Iran. Netanyahu forced President Trump into a supportive box with attacks against Iran. President Trump responded with a public hug to Bibi and eventually a U.S. bombing of the Iran nuclear sites. Israel was big happy. However, Trump’s emissary Steve Witkoff never stopped communicating with Iran on peace approach, and negotiated/coordinated a face-saving Iranian retaliation via a happy to oblige Qatar.
Iran retaliated against the USA support for Israel with a pre-planned attack on a U.S. base in Qatar, which was easily managed. Iran saves face against evil Trump. Meanwhile, loyal friend to Israel, Trump has facilitated the request of Bibi. Diplomacy now returns sans operational nuclear sites. No regime change. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli lobbyist Mark Levin are furious.
All the pro-war Israel-First pundits who sold a narrative of Trump duping the Iranians were wrong. Trump never wanted the conflict escalation, nor did Trump pre-plan with Netanyahu to pretend diplomacy. Pure fantasy speculation. The prior diplomatic efforts between the USA and Iran were genuine from the Trump administration, despite the duplicity from the Iranian side.
In a weakened state the Iranian regime and the Israeli government are now directed to engage in “peace and harmony,” against the new backdrop of the nuclear sites out of commission. Trump’s out. We’re done.
Mark Levin (aka, Old Yeller) – “The Iranian Nazi regime is desperately trying to hold on to power with no effective options. Will the regime be provided an “off ramp” without surrendering unconditionally? In other words, will the regime be given a lifeline, and survive to terrorize and murder, build more ballistic missiles, and develop nukes and intercontinental missiles in the future? That would be a disastrous outcome after all of this.”
There are no current nuclear sites.
President Trump says, “Go peacefully negotiate!” We support you both.
Peace, out!
PRESIDENT TRUMP – CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!
Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL.
On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (LINK)
Love the Levin Graham photo 🤣🤣🤣
Had to laugh, “Thank you for your attention in this matter.”? It’s like PDJT sending an office reorg memo.
Some might know me, I am from India, but lived and worked in the US a long time ago. I got a chance to view US politics from the inside and have been following the political scene for the last 25 years
Israel is an extremely tricky subject.. I sympathize with them and fully agree that Iran having the nuclear bomb and a very strict Islamic regime is a very dangerous combination…
India is probably the only other nation that can understand a sense of existential dread from an implacable foe who is guided by Islamic thought and jurisprudence
Although Netanyahu often sounded like the boy who cried wolf, he can claim that he tenaciously kept the issue of Iran and its intent to obtain nukes front and center…
He has atleast avoided Israel being subjected to constant nuclear blackmail from an islamic country… Just a few weeks back India was in the exact same situation with Pakistan. We handled it our way but it ended up ruffling a lot of people including President Trump…. Thankfully he was able to pull Pakistan from the brink…and Modi didn’t go as far as he should have… But didn’t, out of his personal relationship with Trump.
As I write this, I will be frank that neither of the two ceasefires that Trump was involved in might hold… But we get a temporary breather and that is the best you can hope for sometimes
I wish that Israel and Iran have a coming together, somewhere in the future… And when it happens, we Indians will cheer for the people of both these countries.
Good Luck to both these countries…and thanks to President Trump for his sincere efforts and tactical maneuvering of an extremely delicate situation
There’s only one.
Be careful, SD. Ol’ Yeller could interpret your picture of him and Miss Lindsey consoling each other as slander. He could file a lawsuit and personally depose you as he has threatened to do a number of times. LOL
It was a surprisingly childish and untruthful insinuation by Sundance—way beneath him.
NOT! It was an accurate portrayal of two politically active persons expressions of the current events and how the caricatured description aptly described it,
Good Art.
Agreed
That picture is HILARIOUS!🤣
It’s a great picture, isn’t it?
Great meme of Levin and Graham in their pajamas.
who are the gents in the last image?
I LOVE Mark Levin and his bombastic presentation of historic and political reality as he sees it. As far as I know, he has no monetary “skin in the game” unlike Senator Graham whom I despise for self-serving “war mongering! Regardless, I pray MAGA(according to Trump) will prevail….
It seems to me that there is a conflation between the deep state neocons who happily support Israel BUT ALSO happily support any war, and American patriots who are also Zionists. There used to be an antisemitic trope, that Americans who support Israel are not patriotic, as if one cannot be both a patriot first and a supporter of Israel second.
It sounds like all those who support Israel are now being defined as “Israel firsters.” Should I then define all those who believe that ‘”Israel lasters?”
Conservatives in American always supported Israel, no matter how patriotic they were. Now I am finding that conservatives no longer want to support Israel, and are feeling triumphant that Trump outfoxed Netanyahu. There are statements here that imply Netanyahu is the spawn of Satan, and is always trying to get Trump to do things he doesn’t want to do. There are implications that the country of Israel is evil.
So conservatives have now joined the antisemitic progressive party in looking at Israel as a burden and/or not to be trusted?
And by association, does that apply to American Jews as well? That if we support Israel we are “Israel firsters” instead of patriots who love this country?
Because if what I see here that looks and sounds like antisemitism being triumphantly expressed becomes a real “thing” that lasts within conservatives writ large, then Trump will have triumphed over the project Obama started, which was to normalize Jew hatred. Is that the direction this website is going?
No one likes to think of themselves as antisemitic, so Jews are routinely lambasted for calling people antisemitic. Doesn’t that sound a bit on the prejudiced side? We Jews are to be blamed for prejudice against us? Isn’t that what Hitler said all the time? That the Jews deserve all the hatred they get?
What has happened here? This used to be a community that welcomed different faiths within the Judeo-Christian heritage. Now we are to think of Netanyahu as some kind of aggressive evil person who starts wars, when Israel is fighting a DEFENSIVE war, and doing so effectively? What is so evil about a country defending themselves? Isn’t that what you would hope America would do if we were attacked and more than a thousand people massacred in one day?
I do not want to be critical or judgmental, it is just that I get the feeling Jews are no longer welcomed here.
In my entire 72 years of life, I never thought I would live to see a day come when antisemitism was mainstream and acceptable, or that Israel would be judged to be some kind of evil country. Israel isn’t perfect, nor is America perfect. Both countries are burdened by deep states and both leaders want to triumph over the deep state.
Netanyahu is the victim of the deep state in Israel just as Trump is the victim of it here. Netanyahu has been saddled with a rogue judiciary just like the US and Trump.
Must we turn on one another in order to feel triumphant?
And why would Trump be triumphant over Israel in the first place? Do you see him as wanting to get rid of Israel as if Israel is a relative who’s outlived their welcome? If so, what has Israel done to deserve that definition?
Why do the people here see Israel as a problem that the US should just get rid of? That’s kind of like how the mullahs of Iran felt: “lets’ get rid of Israel and the US.”
I think there are deep state neocons that we should be triumphant over. I don’t see Zionists who are patriots people we should be looking at as if they were evil.
It’s not antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government. I welcome any and all criticisms of the Israeli government, and I know the Israeli government can take criticisms, and they have. They get it from their own people as well as from around the world. Criticism is not bad, listening to criticism of oneself it’s a way to improve and be better able to relate to people. Let’s hear the specific criticisms and let’s debate them. But can we please respect each other and not try to define some of us here as if we were beyond the pale?
I also welcome any criticisms of anything I write here.
Reading too much into it, or focused too much on a trollish comment or two? I feel very safe in saying that antisemitism will never be accepted by true believers at CTH or anywhere. As you wrote:
“It’s not antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government.“
Matt Walsh was on Tucker, who assumed that Walsh was in agreement with him as to Israel. Walsh asked, “What would you have Israel do after October 7?” Tucker changed the subject.
If an October 7 occurs in the USA, what would we want our President to do? If the response was anything short of war on the guilty party, Treehouse followers would see that as the end of our nation, everyone for him or herself. It’s even more critical to Israel as they are fighting for their lives against an enemy that promises to have a thousand October 7 attacks. Other than total war against such an enemy, what would we have Israel do?
I am a Christian who loves Israel because my Rabbi, Jeshua, came from the remnant of the tribes of Israel. I am thankful that a young lady, Mary, was chosen to be the one to bring God’s Son into the world. An exemplary, wise, and virtuous man, Joseph, protected the young lady and was the mentor to the baby Jesus as he grew, teaching him how to live as a faithful Jew. I am forever thankful to Our Lord’s kin, for keeping a thread of faith and knowledge of God’s law alive through exile and Roman occupation – completing the plan of the Almighty to bring His Son into our world to save us sinners. I love Israel because I love Jesus. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
