CNN Narrative Engineer Dana Bash clutches her pearls in worry about a potentially weakened position for Israel against the backdrop of President Trump visiting Turkey and structuring diplomatic relations with Recep Erdogan.
It seems quite odd to see CNN have great concerns about the well-being of Israel given their leading role as critics against the actions of Israel. Then again, CNN has the art of pretending down pat. The transparency is laughable. WATCH:

Dana and her sad potato face can piss off.
As can her network.
Do y’all remember the doll Poor Pitiful Pearl? 🤣
Her forehead and her chin are in different zip codes.
Why the long face….. Dana???
H/t to Sarah Palin, via the wayback machine.
Why the long face?? LOL!
Worth remembering that one.
Every time that I read about Dana, IMESHO, it seems like he/she/it has gotten bashed by the guest.
Joe Camel face!
Cigarettes are less dangerous than our corrupt media and its disgusting whores like Dana Bash.
Potato face. I like that. Perfect description.
<Potato face. I like that. Perfect description.>
Same eyes 🙂
Peels of laughter.
While she shows concern for Israel (yeah, sure), an article in American Thinker explains why the libdims will never accept Israel.
Yea, we know the religious reasons, but as the author explains, Bibi and others destroyed the lie about the greatness of socialism with a ‘before and after’ demonstration. Good read on top of all that the Treehouse brings to us.

Thanks Dan. They hate Netanyahu just like they hate President Trump. The Socialist Press hates what they both have accomplished. Any country can duplicate what the US has accomplished…….Ditch Communism embrace capitalism and let the people keep what they earn. For politicians that is almost impossible.
We saw the Democrat/Communists almost push our country over the edge. No country is wealthy enough to survive Communism. By the way I spoke to McConnell last night, he is sharp as Joe.
Thanks … it was a good read.
CNN is pedal to the metal in criticizing President Trump. Forbes Breaking News only thing they ever put on YouTube is critical to the Trump administration. This is especially true of Democrat Senators and Representatives criticizing cabinet members.
Another case of CNN trying to create conflict between President Trump and Netenyahu.
It’s no different than my son and wife arguing with me, cuz I said, good thing the Swede named Vargas just scored the winning extra goal for Sweden. Both became irate, said, well in America…I just said, yes, America is a non-homogeneous nation. I didn’t realize Sweden was Hispanic- they went right to racism, bigotry, etc…. I said, cool, tell me how many McCallisters or Schweitzers are on team Senegal, or on Iran’s team, or how many Smith’s are part of Iraq, Mexico, or Japan. They kept to the bigotry, they were born there, etc.
I’ve had enough- I said in 25 years, son, when you have kids, here, and crap sucks, cuz they have your generation thinking this way, don’t cry to me when you, your kids, etc., are second hand citizens being treated like crap…I’ll be old, I just won’t care cuz I’ll be dead and you can live with your crap positions.
My wife and he just laughed…I said team Senegal and their lack of McGregors laughs with you.
They didn’t get it.
We’re all doomed in the West.
My above ties to the BS CNN duplicity; this is why Americans defend illegals who literally steal from them and rape/murder their kids.
They didn’t understand the premise because you have media like CNN selling the duplicity of being a citizen- it’s nothing more than a word, especially for those like Bash who pay lawyers/accountants to shield them from their duplicitous positions. It’s how she can straddle the Jew/Israeli fence.
Did you see the video from Italy where an honor role student whipped it out on the boardwalk at the beach and started wanking? The men beat the crap out of this POS and at the end of said vid some topless ditz ran over to the perv to see if he needed her help?
Lord please save us.
I didn’t see that, but, I’m not surprised.
My beautiful granddaughter is headed to University of Arkansas in the honours program. One of the advantages is said to be trips abroad when she is a senior. Italy has been mentioned.
I am wasting no time explaining as calmly as I can that the Italy her mother backpacked through when she was in Spain finishing up her degree long ago no longer exists. Who knows in four years time what Europe will have been reduced to. I’m sensing that I’ve got a lot of work being cut out for me.
I don’t know how much longer Europeans will tolerate the desecration of their countries, mycroft…
based on the conversations with some of my English friends and my Finnish friends; I think the time in Europe is short before people rise up and cause problems bigger than what’s being reported.
In Belfast they stopped tolerating it… for a little while.
According to the Indian news-reader the problem is the ungrateful Europeans not noticing how much all that immigrant diversity improves European society.
Before long, the protests were dampened down, the native Irish were told to stop being so racist and the native-born Irish (mostly) meekly complied.
For some reason when Palestinian youths riot and throw bricks at the police it is justifiable. The elites show their sympathy by wearing Palestinian flags and chanting about “Globalize the Intifada.” But when Irish youths riot and throw bricks at the police it is the worst thing ever, and the elites rush to denounce the “backward and racist” behavior.
For some reason…hmmm…quite the puzzler?
The Irish are fairly unique among white people in that they have a rather strong sense of national identity and always have. This is why the cultural campaigns are trying to destroy white identity and this shows what their failure to destroy it risks. It risks their agenda. It risks THEM, ultimately. Those behind all of this will be revealed in time. And when that happens? I don’t know exactly what it will look like but it won’t be nice.
If it is of any help, she could consider the predicament of South American girls who went for a year at a convent school in Germany, and were trapped in Europe when WWII went into full swing.
Pax Americana is not something to take for granted. Would she be able to survive if trapped overseas by circumstance outside her control?
Well if England is any indication, those that are against it will be in jail.
I don’t know how much longer Europeans will tolerate the desecration of their countries, mycroft…
History of Europe is one long churn. One invasion after another.
This is just the latest islamic invasion is it not?
If it is to be turned back I would have thought the Irish, Scots, and Welsh would be at the forefront.
I’m sure it grieved you to say what you needed to say, Horse.
Thomas Aquinas wrote that the greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
In this case I’d change “one” to “a father”.
You’ve done your son a great service though it seems he hasn’t yet recognized. I’m just sorry he may not realize it until he reaches the age and circumstances it might be too late.
I wish with all my heart I could disagree with your final sentence, but I cannot.
Warm regards my friend, from one parent to another…
Betsy, my wife and he, ignored and pretended not to understand my point.
They kept saying if they were born there…etc. I kept asking why are there no Smiths on Iraq’s team, English players are better, there are Smiths born in Iraq (he AI’d it and proved me correct)…he pivoted fast.
They didn’t get my point. It’s exactly why we are where we are and why Bash gets 25-35% (I refuse to believe it’s 50%, there’s no way) of this country to buy her BS.
I pivoted to birthright citizenship in the US, tied to my Vargas comment above: my wife and he started yelling, defending it.
I just said “in 30 years when you’re paying reparations and 90% of your paycheck is going to pay for foreigners and their kids or the descendants of foreigners and their kids because you’re a second class citizen don’t cry to me.”
They both laughed; said I’m ridiculous, I’m delusional, what are you talking about?
I said you both know what I’m talking about it is right in front of your faces and you ignore it because you don’t wanna believe what you see with your own eyes; however, when it’s happening, and your kids have nothing and my great grandchildren and my grandchildren have nothing don’t look at me cause I’m the one that brought it up and you called a bigot and racist. I’ll be old, I’ll honor my oath, but old men only can do so much.
You are becoming slaves of multiculturalism and the communist own you.
I’ve just turned to cold anger within my family for very similar “discussions” that always result in the same name calling, a hallmark of we know who. Now they think I’m “pissed” because I will not discuss anything politics with any of them. Live, Love, Laugh is my motto because I am older now and just too sick of the ignorance.
It’s a futile position.
We are living in times I never even considered would be. And even now that we are, I am having great difficulty trying to understand how it has all come to this…and relatively quickly. I can only imagine how uncomfortable that conversation was. But one thing I’m pretty good at is imagining…
I hope you don’t think other moms and dads aren’t facing youthful ignorance on this road we find ourselves on to a world which has spun off its axis. All you can do you have done, warned as you so clearly see the signs they cannot.
It is why I do my best to do the same with my own , sending them essays, artickes, and news stories in hopes that somehow they can take time out of their busy, BUSY lives to read what I am pretty sure they are unaware of. And to do so without rolling their eyes. A thing which again I’m certain they must do. There are times I feel like a Cassandra.
But if I don’t attempt to alert them, who will?
And so on I go. You must as well.
Because you are that Watchman, as all of us here are for those we love.
Discouraging, yes, of course…I always believe this is something that comes with parenting that no one ever tells us about. But in spite of the unpleasantness and the laughing, you’ve planted a tiny seed which I hope will germinate as the times arrive when there can be no avoidance of or escape from. And when your family will understand how very right you are.
Small comfort, if any, I do realize. The war is not here, but between heaven and earth. God’s mercies I pray for us all.
Spot on; agreed. The irony, and the conversation I had and shared above, is that in most instances it gets through. However, when it comes to sports or pop culture, or things along those lines, it seems to spark a whole different attitude. Those things seem to throw them off a straight line of goodness.
The use of Bread and Circuses are not new you know.
The devil knows how to redirect and entice.
Doesn’t he just!
This phrase changed my life 6 decades ago.
The beginning of wisdom is to know you do not know.
Yes; admitting your ignorance is a step towards wisdom.
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Next is realizing you don’t know (because you’re not Him).

Excellent post!
Oh jeez Im sorry…you need serious prayers to be patient with your family.
At one point my oldest daughter and I couldn’t be around each other. Her TDS and lefty TicToc talking points were unavoidable. I kept giving it to God and learned not to engage when she started the insanity… things have calmed down.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood…
I appreciate the sorries; however, my family and I are good. We are laughing and watching the Gaurdian’s game at the current moment. Despite their certain thinking at times, I think they hear what I have to say. They may not get it in the moment, however, I know sometime down the road both my wife and that son will make a comment aligned with the perceptions I shared with them. It’s inevitable, because it’s the way it’s been my whole life with them.
Luckily, I have a son and now a daughter-in-law who I don’t have to go through that exercise with because they see it on their own. My daughter-in-law’s family also sees it; which is why from day one we’ve gotten along and we’ve been barbecuing and hanging out with them since my son and her met. I couldn’t be happier that he finally married her and that our families have become one because we see eye to eye.
It was not Sweden. It was Switzerland. Vargas’ mother is Swiss. He was born in Switzerland. He is Swiss. He plays for the Swiss team and he scored an important goal for them. Also if you’re judging people in Europe with a Spanish name you might recall that Spain is a European country that conquered most of the Americas, which is why they speak Spanish in Latin America.

In Brazil.
Any others in South/Central America?
Southern Brasil speaks a lot of port u-deutch.
At CNN any news story, no matter what the subject matter, will be spun in a way to make President Trump’s policies look bad. If they can’t come up with a negative spin, then the story simply won’t get reported.
And Bibi made a huge strategic error ever being to be a part of it.
Can you reword that post? It not only makes no sense, it makes no sense without references. Thanks.
No mistake. Bibi feeds the propaganda and fan the flames
NuttyYahoo is out of his league. F NATO. If we sell F35 planes to Turkey we will also sell maintenance agreements and parts all to support our MIC. We will also have override capability on these planes through software. Dana is a queen of propaganda.
Dana blows world wide communists to live in one of the wealthiest areas in the US.
And she has an enormous head…
Her head looks even bigger because her wig doesn’t fit right.
It sits too far back and really make it look like she’s trying to cover up a huge bald spot which she probably is.
Dana should ask Ru Paul for some wig advice.

There are leftists in Israel who would gladly give their country over to the head choppers, just to make themselves feel better.

They are delusional, as all leftists. They have replaced G-d with Man.

Yadig?
The biggest threat to the state of Israel is Netanyahu, not Erdogan.
Um, have to disagree. Suggest you read Ezekiel 38.
The biggest threat to Israel is Muslims and their apologists. As it has always been.

I rather appreciated Mr. Chisum mentioning the 37-story building that is going to fall down and I could say this to tie it all together – if that building is in any way connected to the Trump Corporation, you could be sure that CNN – and Dana – would be discussing THAT, non-stop! There would not be time to discuss any other thing!
Pull it!
BB is pissed and suggests they will attack Turkey…..Turkey is part of NATO….
Is this why 🇺🇸isn’t mentioned in the Bible?
BB is no matter. Why would Israel want to get rid of US-Turkey alliance? He keeps dropping his sly eyes. How much does Netanyahu relish a Turkey-initiated conflict against Israel? Appearing on CNN with Dana Bash, Netanyahu fed the propaganda while the Turkey and United States meeting is happening. Wouldn’t BB be all in on (any) US-Turkey alliance conflict he can drum up? Israeli elites, including former PM Naftali Bennett, frame Turkey as the “new Iran,” aiming to diplomatically isolate Ankara to prevent it from blocking Israeli expansion in Syria and the Eastern Mediterranean.
NATO Complications: As a NATO member, Turkey’s alliance with the US creates complex security dilemmas; Israel seeks to weaken this bond to avoid Article 5 constraints that could protect Turkey in a conflict.
Israel perceives a stable, powerful Turkey as incompatible with its goal of being the sole hegemon in the Levant, prompting efforts to foster rivalries between Turkey and other regional actors like Arab states.
Proxy Containment: Israel aims to counter Turkey’s military footprint in Syria and the Horn of Africa, where Turkish influence challenges Israeli security interests and energy ambitions.
Turkey no longer views Israel as an ally but as a strategic rival and ideological adversary. Under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ankara has shifted from a pragmatic partnership to active confrontation, driven by …
Ideological hostility and “Zionism” as an existential threat, strategic rivalry (for regional hegemony). Turkey views Israeli energy partnerships with Greece and Cyprus as an encirclement strategy designed to exclude Ankara from regional resources. Turkey under Erdogan treats Hamas as a legitimate “liberation movement” and political partner.
Turkish public opinion on Israel 2026 Hardline anti-Israel policies are a cornerstone of Erdogan’s political survival. With significant public support for the Palestinian cause in Turkey, softening stance toward Israel is politically toxic.
Turkey has moved beyond rhetoric to active “lawfare,” joining South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice and issuing arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These actions signal that Ankara considers the normal rules of diplomatic engagement suspended, treating Israel as a pariah state rather than a neighbor.
Trade :
According to Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics data released in early 2026:
2025 Total Volume: Israel imported $924.1 million in goods from Turkey and exported only $10.9 million to Turkey.Discrepancy: While the Turkish government announced a full embargo in May 2024, trade continued at significant levels. In the first five months of 2025 alone, Turkish exports to Israel reached $393.7 million.2026 Trends: Data from early 2026 indicates a resurgence, with Turkish exports hitting $176 million in just the first two months of the year, suggesting the embargo is increasingly porous.Recent Tightening Measures
In response to evidence of continued trade, Ankara has attempted to close these gaps:
Eur-Med Certificates: As of February 2026, Turkey stopped issuing Eur-Med certificates, which are required for goods to receive customs exemptions when moving between Turkey, the EU, and Israel.
This move aims to make indirect trade via Europe more expensive and administratively difficult.
Port Bans: Turkey continues to ban Israeli-flagged vessels (such as those from ZIM) and has pressured international shipping giants to cease direct calls to Israeli ports, though non-Israeli flagged vessels carrying Turkish cargo are still operating.
Summary of Cost Impact – importing via Greece vs Turkey 2026
Cost Component Previous Status (with Eur-Med) Current Status (2026)
Customs Duty 0% (Preferential) 8–12%+ (Full Tariff)
Logistics Direct shipping rates +20–30% (Transshipment fees)
Intermediary Fee None 5–10% commission
Total Cost Increase Baseline ~25–35% higher landed cost
What role would the US play in a hypothetical conflict where Turkey is the aggressor against a NATO ally like Israel (or any other state),
The United States would play a decisive role in isolating Turkey rather than supporting it.
Control of Strategic Military Assets
A critical and immediate US action would be the shutdown or seizure of US military operations in Turkey, specifically at the Incirlik Air Base.
Nuclear Security: The base hosts approximately 50 US B61 nuclear weapons.
The US would immediately secure or evacuate these assets to prevent them from being used by Turkish forces or becoming a target.
Operational Denial: The US would cease all intelligence sharing, logistics support, and joint operations from Turkish soil. Historically, Turkey has threatened to close the base during disputes; in this scenario, the US would likely preemptively halt operations to deny Turkey any leverage or claim of cooperation.
The economic impacts scenario on Turkey from comprehensive NATO and US sanctions would be devastating, likely triggering an immediate currency collapse, hyperinflation, and a sovereign debt crisis. The most immediate effect would be a catastrophic devaluation of the Turkish Lira.
Turkey relies heavily on foreign capital to finance its current account deficit and roll over short-term external debt (estimated at over $180 billion due within a year).
Sanctions would cause foreign investors to flee instantly, draining Turkey’s foreign exchange reserves.
Import Costs: As the Lira plummets, the cost of essential imports—particularly energy (oil and gas) and food—would skyrocket, driving inflation into hyperinflationary territory (potentially exceeding 50-100% annually).
Purchasing Power: The real wages of Turkish citizens would evaporate, leading to severe shortages of medicine, fuel, and basic goods.
Trade Isolation and Industrial Paralysis
Turkey’s economy is deeply integrated with the European Union, its largest trading partner, accounting for nearly half of its total trade (approx. €206 billion in goods). The EU would likely suspend the Customs Union, imposing high tariffs on Turkish exports.
This would cripple Turkey’s manufacturing and automotive sectors, which rely on duty-free access to European markets.
Turkey economy dependence on EU US trade :
Export Collapse – With the US and EU markets closed, Turkish exports could drop by 40-50%, causing mass unemployment in industrial hubs.
Supply Chain Disruption: Turkish industries depend on imported intermediate goods from the West; sanctions would sever these supply chains, halting production lines domestically.
Sanctions targeting Turkey’s financial system would be lethal.
Banking Isolation: Cutting off Turkish banks (like Halkbank or Ziraat) from the SWIFT system or US dollar clearing would freeze international transactions, effectively stopping all foreign trade.
Asset Freezes: The freezing of assets held by the Turkish Central Bank and elite figures abroad would eliminate any buffer the government has to prop up the Lira.
Sovereign Default: Unable to access foreign currency or roll over debt, Turkey would likely default on its $182 billion in external debt obligations.
This would lock the country out of global capital markets for years.
Turkey might attempt to pivot to Russia and other non-Western partners, this would not offset the losses.
In short, a full-scale NATO sanctions would likely cause Turkey’s GDP to contract by 10-20% in the first year alone, triggering a humanitarian crisis and potentially leading to social unrest that could threaten the stability of the government itself.
CNN with Dana Bash, Netanyahu fed the propaganda while the Turkey and United States meeting is happening.

Erdogan keeps saying Israel and Jews must be destroyed
Erdoğan declares Israel will soon be destroyed
“You can have as many nuclear bombs as you want, but you’re on your way out,” said Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
https://www.jns.org/israel-news/erdogan-israel-will-soon-be-destroyed
What controversies have surrounded JNS reporting? JNS does NOT do factual reporting nor possess acceptable journalistic standards. It uses “loaded emotional wording” (e.g., “IDF slays dozens of terrorists”) and the promotion of one-sided narratives that OFTEN …. not sometimes, presents unverified claims from Israeli military sources as fact while marginalizing Palestinian; and, the promotion of one-sided narratives that favor Israeli government positions while denigrating Palestinians.
Recall July 2020, JNS was among several conservative and Jewish news outlets duped into publishing fabricated op-eds written by non-existent authors. The articles, attributed to fake writers from fictitious publications like The Arab Eye and Persia Now, praised the UAE and called for aggressive stances against Qatar and Iran. Following an investigation by The Daily Beast, JNS Editor-in-Chief Jonathan S. Tobin acknowledged the deception and removed the posts, attributing the incident to external bad actors rather than internal malice, though it raised questions about the outlet’s vetting processes. JNS and its editor, Jonathan S. Tobin, have occasionally sparked controversy within the Jewish community for attacking other Jewish voices. There are plenty of controversies surrounding JNS reporting; primarily centering on accusations of bias, lack of transparency, and factual reliability.
The heavy reliance on funding from donors who prioritize “combating anti-Israel bias” has led JNS to explicitly define its role not as a neutral observer, but as a corrective force against mainstream media narratives.
Editor-in-Chief Jonathan S. Tobin frequently frames the outlet’s work as a “fight” to provide facts that support Israel’s security and legitimacy, mirroring the advocacy priorities of its primary financial backers.
Content Selection and Framing: Critics, including the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression and Media Bias/Fact Check, argue that this funding model results in “Mixed” factual reporting and a Right-Center bias.
The outlet is noted for using loaded language (e.g., “slays terrorists” vs. “kills militants”), omitting Palestinian civilian casualty contexts, and prioritizing stories that validate the geopolitical views of its conservative donors, such as strong opposition to the Iran nuclear deal and the BDS movement.
Syndication Strategy: The funding allows JNS to distribute content at low or no cost to local Jewish newspapers, effectively bypassing traditional editorial gatekeepers. This strategy amplifies its pro-Israel perspective in community papers that might otherwise rely on more centrist wire services like the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA).
It is largely donorship influence vs. editorial independence. JNS is an echo chamber where advocacy content is consumed as straight news, often without clear labelling of its ideological origin.
Enough said. Do your own homework.
Correction : “Bibi is no better” … apologies
Turkey has been one of the United States’ longest standing allies through its membership in NATO since 1952. During the Korean War, Turkish troops fought alongside U.S. forces with exceptional bravery, helping defend American and other UN troops in several key battles. For decades, Turkey and the United States have maintained a strategic military partnership, and many Turkish people have historically viewed Americans favorably. Netanyahu’s claims ignore the long history of cooperation between the two countries. It is time for both countries to get even closer in relationship. Turkey is not a theocratic Muslim state like other muslim countries. Turkey is a secular republic. While most Turkish citizens are Muslim, the government is constitutionally secular, and religion does not define the state. Turkey also has many Turkish Christians, Jews and Atheist.
Erdogan has a long – running dream of being the modern – day Sala ad-Din/Saladin who was not a secular ruler.
“Watch”. No thank you.
Like Bash, or CNN, care what happens to Israel after all the pro-Palestinian crap they spew. Haven’t seen much of that “concern” over October 7th, 2023 lately, if we ever did.
Thank you, Sundance!
If Iran nuked Isreal, CNN wouldn’t give a sh_t.
I think Israel should pipe down for a bit.
A bit, meaning a long time.
Yes. They aren’t playing things very strategically wise with this intrusive over exposure on every single issue we discuss in the USA.
Regardless of the issues specifically at hand, the best way to be hated is to insert yourself over and over in to people’s faces about everything that comes up, any topic, any issue, any policy- as if your concerns are the only ones the group should care about.
I’m more of an Israel supporter than not, and I don’t even begrudge them trying to do things in their own interest that might not be in ours; all states should do so. But even I am way over “Israel’s concerns and impact” being a discussed in almost every single decision or policy we make for ourselves and somehow it being shoved in our faces constantly ,no matter where you try to hide.
Bibi always on our tv and in DC, etc. and always talking to “the American people “ – ENOUGH
Its made me more and more dismissive of them altogether as a credible party in terms of honest partnership. Then again, I don’t think any alliance can be honest.
anyway, they would be wise to get out of our faces and to stop trying to constantly obstruct our domestic political narratives.
I’m well on my way to becoming resentful of them. If you’re starting to erode support from me…..I’m gonna go ahead and say you’ve already lost 1000x of that before me.
I am generally a supporter of Israel as well.
But I support America first, and the largest vulnerabilities to MAGA keeping and extending its reach in America are ALL connected to our participation in distastrous activities on behalf of Israel.
I wonder if they realize how close they are to losing American support forever. I believe that much of our “support” is due to Israel keeping our leaders and representatives under threat. A great example of this is the golden cell phone Netanyahu gave President Trump. I hope Trump rightly viewed that “gift” as a veiled threat. Because it was. Bibi was telling Trump “we can get you too if we want or need to”.
I see all the anti Israel/Netanyahu folks showed up.
Should be bashing Bash instead.
I’m very consistent and unwavering supporter of Israel, see my comment. I have no agenda I’m just sharing how I feel at this point as someone who does support them and favors them over any other ME nation no matter what. They aren’t helping their case.
Gotta ask why. I used to be. But then I learned in greater detail that the USS Liberty wasn’t an accident or a mistake. They only stopped when word got out that other US ships were coming to take a look at what was going on. They are not an ally. They do not support the US at all. They simply leverage US politics to get what they want. The impending US-Israel military relationship is one sided as well. They are under no obligation to support the US.
Governments do what they do. They should reap the appropriate rewards. But using a bigger power (which is us) to do their will at our expense? That’s a “no” vote from me.
AIPAC has been a foreign lobbyist organization for a VERY long time, bribing US politicians. Only RECENTLY has Israel been made to comply with FARA. That’s a very big deal and no one is talking about it. It means they have to hide and bury their political money even deeper than before.
There is no actual reason to support Israel. They do not support the US. They do not come to our aid. What do they do beyond corrupt our willing, ready and greedy government?
Make the case.
Well, except for Graham Platner,.
(” He has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and advocates for the United States to cut off all military aid to the country.
His campaign launched with an advertisement promising never to seek or accept an endorsement from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), citing his belief that Israel committed genocide.
Platner has further alienated pro-Israel groups by claiming that his Republican opponent, Senator Susan Collins, is “bought and paid for by Benjamin Netanyahu” because she received donations from individuals associated with AIPAC. The Anti-Defamation League criticized this remark as invoking classic antisemitic rhetoric regarding Jewish loyalty and control.
Additionally, past social media posts surfaced during his campaign showed him praising a 2014 Hamas attack on Israeli soldiers as a “successful and very beautiful raid” from a professional military standpoint. “)
Platner is being removed now.
It’s clock work.
Orange
Basing Bash instead? Given that Bash does always what she does, Bibi pours more fire to the propaganda narrative Bash puts forward.
I have for many years thought Bibi was a trustworthy guy.
Not any more.
Netanyahu agrees to a course of action and then pivots—has been a central source of friction and tensions in Trump-Netanyahu relationship 2026.
The Iran Deal: Trump persuaded Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire in Gaza and a broader deal to end hostilities with Iran, reportedly telling him, “Bibi, you can’t fight the world.”However, shortly after these agreements, Netanyahu authorized new airstrikes in Beirut and southern Lebanon, which Iran cited as a reason to suspend talks.PDJT has explicitly told Netanyahu he was “not happy” with Israel’s invasion and handling of Hezbollah, urging the Prime Minister to be “more responsible.”
It is no coincidence that today, US official confirms; Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun has been invited to visit White House on July 21; after Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement in Washington last month following several days of US-mediated talks aimed at ending fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists.
Aoun’s July 21 visit was revealed a day earlier by Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter. The US has sought to organize a trilateral meeting between Aoun, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, but Beirut has pushed back on the idea so long as Israel maintains forces in southern Lebanon. After a call last week between Trump and Netanyahu, the Prime Minister’s Office said the pair would be meeting soon in the US, with no date confirmed.

“diplomatic relations with Recep Erdogan.”
Would America’s Founding Fathers ever have diplomatic relations with Recep “Muslim Brotherhood” Erdogan?
I seriously doubt it.
The first political entity that recognized the independence of the United States (in late 1777) was… Morocco.
Crocodile tears for Israel? Give me a break. lol
The Marxist Democrats hate Israel. Hell, they’ve even managed to convince the Jews to hate Israel.
This whole story is just division politics on the part of CNN. Maybe Dana was not allowed on AF1 so she had to fly economy to Constantinople. She has a bug up her bum.
Probably had the fish meal too.
I need to state the obvious; at least obvious for anyone well informed….
The nation and individual humans of Isreal is a separate issue from the real issue of Jewish Zionism and that specific extraordinarily powerful influence in global affairs exercised by this obviously organized effort to create chaos, mayhem and disorder at all times, everywhere.
This cabal is responsible for far more human suffering over the last 30 years than anything our manufactured ‘enemy’ Russia has done throughout it’s much longer than our own history.
A specific cabal of Epstein handler class uses Isreal as a weapon. And the weopon is designed to destroy humans.
Iseet, you need to employ Spell Check. Israel and weapon come to mind. Is it a foreign language thing?
Every time I see her almost-uncanny valley face, I wonder what would happen if someone behind her suddenly popped a balloon. Maybe then she’d have a realistic face.
Nuttyyahoo looked a little peeved at the donkey asking questions.
He must have been told it would be a walk in the park interview.
That whole interview, as are all Pravda interviews, no matter the topic, about orange man bad.
I personally think President Trump could make a killing on “Orange Man Bad Orange Juice.” I can see the merch line now…lunchboxes, hot/cold tumblers, golf clubs..😂😂😂
Please think about it, President Trump. 😊🙏
Instead of orange juice he could make an orange soda, an upscale product without artificial flavors or coloring.
Or better yet, introduce an entire new line of soda pop flavors.
Pineapple soda sounds good; lemon-lime, cherry, blueberry, raspberry.
The possibilities are endless.

Odd bodkins with a string of pearls.
Dana is so biased either she doesn’t know it or she is dishonest.
She’s such an obvious fraud. Why do they even keep her around?
Thank you, Sundance.
Netanyahu was the first leader to congratulate Biden on stealing the 2020 election. Never forget, never forgive.
Much as I dislike Netanyahu now, saying that Netanyahu was the first leader to congratulate Biden on stealing the 2020 election is inaccurate.
The hypocrisy of the radical left is only eclipsed by their ignorance.
Bibi and MOSSAD were aware of October 7th before it happened and delayed their response to the attack so he could gain support to finally engage in te wars he as always wanted.
That is Socialist propaganda.
do you think CNN et al have realized yet that their audience is the ruling class bubble and that nobody else gives a shit what they say or think.
Her hair is a clam shell and and her face is the clam.
BiBi makes a good point. the Turkish government puts journalists in jail. BiBi just kills them outright.
She didn’t mind when Barack Obiden helped them build nukes and sent them a hundred billion to pay for Oct. 7th, etc.
But NOW she’s all concerned because Orange Man Bad.
Nattering Nabob, please.
2 Chronicles 36:23
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia—this fulfilled the message of God preached by Jeremiah—God moved Cyrus king of Persia to make an official announcement throughout his kingdom; he wrote it out as follows: “From Cyrus king of Persia a proclamation: God, the God of the heavens, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has also assigned me to build him a Temple of worship at Jerusalem in Judah. All who belong to God’s people are urged to return—and may your God be with you! Move forward!”
Good is the word of the Lord!
CNN ceased being a news Network decades ago. First it was the Clinton News Network, now it’s the Communist Nitwit Network! They don’t have the 1st clue.
