Tell you what: for a hitlerian fascist, Donald Trump sure seems to be doing a lot for Israel.
Today he appointed former Arkansas Governor and absolutely rock-solid Israel supporter Mike Huckabee as our Ambassador to Israel.
Is this just a one-off, though? It is just window dressing? I mean, really, how serious is Donald Trump in his support of Israel anyway?
For the answer, I urge you to read Caroline Glick’s latest commentary, just published by the New York Post, titled “Trump will reverse Biden’s Israel delusions and bring an era of Mideast peace”.
Here is how it begins:
On Sunday, Israel reportedly killed Hezbollah terror boss Ali Musa Daqduq in Syria, bringing a measure of justice to the US military’s Iraq war veterans.
In 2007, Daqduq and his underlings infiltrated a US base in Karbala, Iraq, killing one soldier and kidnapping — and later brutally executing — four more. CENTCOM sources on Monday expressed confidence that Daqduq had in fact been slain.
Israeli forces have killed hundreds of terrorists with American blood on their hands since Iran launched its seven-front war against the Jewish state last year.
Yet their achievements have made President Biden and his advisers uncomfortable — because they expose the truth that the Biden team has refused to countenance.
Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies. And when Israel defeats its enemies, America wins.
Biden and his team are not alone in their discomfort. For over 30 years, the US foreign policy establishment produced one failed policy after another, because its members collectively refused to reconcile themselves to the fact that Israel is America’s greatest ally in the Middle East.
Instead, they all insisted that Israel is the source of regional instability and that the only way to forge peace was for Israel to appease its enemies — all of whom seek its annihilation.
Since that is a self-evidently impossible goal, all of those efforts failed.
Cycles of US-induced appeasement, instability, terror and war led to further US-induced appeasement, and the pattern circled on and on and on.
Donald Trump is the only US president in the past 30 years who insisted that reality be his guide.
Ms. Glick, who was born in Houston, grew up in Chicago and emigrated to Israel in 1991 at the age of 21, goes on to explain chapter and verse of how committed incoming President Trump was to the strength and stability of Israel in his first term, how well it paid off, and how he is every bit as committed to Israel this time around.
His reasoning? Not only does Israel deserve our support per se, but Israel, in effect, is also fighting OUR battles there. Ms. Glick contends that Donald Trump understands Israeli interests fully coincide with USA interests; when Israel wins, we win. And she presents a strongly cogent set of reasons for that contention.
Again: I urge you to read every word of Caroline Glick’s article (here is the link once more) and see if you agree. I think you’ll find her input more than worth your while.
Then compare what you read to how the Biden/Harris team has approached Israel – both before and after the October 7, massacre. (Hint: you better believe you will).
