Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Nov 16, 2024
There are inevitably several jokes going around in the circles that I frequent that “MAGA” should instead be “MIGA” as the recent US national election only allowed one to choose between two parties that tried to excel in expressing their love for the Jewish state, with the winner Donald Trump’s Republicans ending up on top to “Make Israel Great[er] Again.” Another joke, more in line with dark humor, is the growing belief that Kamala Harris might have lost the election with the margin of difference being the perception that the Israeli genocide in Gaza, enabled by her party and President Joe Biden, turned many voters against her. Ironically, Donald Trump was more ambiguous and may well turn out to be even worse when it comes to developments in the Middle East.
Joe Biden’s cabinet and senior appointments were overloaded with Jews and while Trump’s choices are ethnically more mixed they all are truly dedicated to letting Israel have its way with its neighbors. Several high officials might well be considered demented when it comes to the arguments they make to protect the Jewish state, up to and including urging preemptive strikes carried out by the US against Iran, Syria and Lebanon. An Israeli newspaper has revealed that the Israeli government and Trump’s team are already in discussions regarding how to remove Iran’s government. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his part has claimed that he has already spoken with Trump several times since the election and that the two leaders see “eye-to-eye” on Iran. Netanyahu is convinced that a direct strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is feasible as long as the United States fully supports Israel if a war breaks out.
The new Trump cabinet lineup includes Congressman Marco Rubio of Florida as Secretary of State, FOX news journalist Pete Hegspeth as Secretary of Defense, Representative Elise Stefanik of New York as Ambassador to the United Nations, former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas as Ambassador to Israel, Congressman Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser, Governor Kristi Noem as head of Homeland Security, and Steven C. Witkoff as special envoy to the Middle East. Together they constitute a cohesive group that has delighted the president-elect Trump’s most hawkishly pro-Israel backers. All of those nominated share a passion for promoting Israeli interests as well as bemoaning Jewish concerns over issues like the constantly claimed “problem” of surging antisemitism. Matt Brooks, the longtime chief executive of the Republican Jewish Coalition, called the nominees “a true dream team for those who care about a strong, vibrant, unshakable US-Israel relationship.”
For those of us who had hoped for something more like peace on earth it looks, however, quite a bit different. Paul Craig Roberts even jests that the lineup appears to have been appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. Perhaps the most demented of the lot is also is the individual in the most potentially threatening position, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is a journalist with FOX news with one observer noting that he has never managed any organization larger than his three wives and five children prior to his upgrade to the $1 trillion budgeted 2.9 million Pentagon employees. Even by Christian Zionist standards, he might well be considered to be an extremist. An excerpt from Hegseth’s book, American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free (2020) includes “Simply put: if you don’t understand why Israel matters and why it is so central to the story of Western civilization—with America being its greatest manifestation—then you don’t live in history. America’s story is inextricably linked to Judeo-Christian history and the modern state of Israel. You can love America without loving Israel but that tells me your knowledge of the Bible and Western civilization is woefully incomplete.… If you love America, you should love Israel. We share history, we share faith, and we share freedom. We love free people, free expression, and free markets.”
Of course, Hegseth is not plausible as neither the US nor Israel appear any longer to love either free people or speech. An over-the-top Christian Zionist, Hegseth, whose body is covered with Christian crosses tattoos, denies that Palestine or even the Palestinians actually exist. He calls the West Bank Samaria and Judea. He is also a so-called Third Temple activist who believes that the al-Aqsa mosque and other Muslim holy sites on the Temple mount in Jerusalem should be torn down to rebuild the Judaean Temple allegedly destroyed by the Romans in the Second Century. As al-Aqsa is a major Islamic religious site, such a move would automatically trigger a massive sectarian war in the Middle East, but it is also seen by Christian Zionists like Hegseth as a precursor step in the development of the Armageddon conflict that will lead to the rapturing of all true believers (Christians only!) into heaven and the Second Coming of Christ. Basically, we are looking at a Secretary of Defense who heads the largest military organization in the world wanting there to be a war which would destroy the world as we know it.
Evangelical Christian Zionist Huckabee and Congresswoman Stefanik are in some ways just as scary. Trump, clearly unconcerned about appointing senior officials possessing dual loyalty, said in a statement regarding Huckabee that “Mike has been a great public servant, Governor, and Leader in Faith for many years. He loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!” Huckabee believes God gave historic Palestine to the modern state of Israel, and is an outspoken advocate of Israel’s planned expansion in the occupied West Bank, which he calls Judea and Samaria. While visiting an Israeli West Bank settlement in in 2017, Huckabee claimed the land was not Israeli occupied. “I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria. There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank. It’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlement. They’re communities, they’re neighborhoods, they’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.” In 2008, during his own presidential campaign, Huckabee said there was “really no such thing as a Palestinian.”
Another leading Israel Firster is Elise Stefanik, Congresswoman from New York, who will be United States Ambassador to the United Nations, where she will no doubt follow in the glorious footsteps of Nikki Haley, Trump’s totally Zionist first appointee to that organization back in 2016. Stefanik has been stridently using her bully pulpit on the House Education and Workforce Committee to destroy free speech on America’s college campuses, particularly when that freedom is used to criticize Israel and its behavior, which she liberally describes as antisemitism even when the protests are triggered by Israeli atrocities directed against Palestinians and Lebanese. Her witch hunt has led to several top resignations of college presidents and universities across the country have clamped down on pro-Palestinian protesters, who, for the record, Trump has pledged to deport together with all “Jew haters.” Per Australian Journalist Caitlin Johnstone “She’s a hawkish swamp monster whose political career was primed in some of the most odious neoconservative think tanks in Washington, and opposes placing any limits on US military support for Israel. Earlier this year Stefanik actually flew to Israel to give a speech before the Israeli Knesset vowing to help stop the ‘antisemitism’ of protesters against Israel’s genocidal atrocities at American universities.” Stefanik will undoubtedly be relied upon to represent Israeli interests at the UN and State Department rather than those of the United States or of American citizens. The same goes for the new president’s Middle East envoy, Jewish real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, who is a golfing partner of Trump but reportedly has no diplomatic or political experience. A Times of Israel profile describes Witkoff as a “conduit to the Jewish business community.” That is great news as in Washington those who have the most money are always able to speak loudest.
And so it goes. Turn a page in Washington and you find out that someone else has bought up all the remaining pages so all you can do is keep re-reading the same thing. Gosh, Presidents Biden and Trump, doesn’t it bother you to know, as you surely do, that another country owns us and that it carries out near continuous war crimes against an occupied people that are enabled through the use of our arms and money? Do you have no sense of shame? Where is the proud and honorable America that was once a beacon of liberty among all nations? Gone and forgotten, apparently.

Pentagon report reveals hundreds of UFO sightings including near-miss with plane off coast of New York
Story by David Klepper
Pentagon’s latest report on UFOs has revealed hundreds of new reports of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena with indications suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.
Mass sighting recently in Stonehenge UK and Washington USA have led experts to say
the aliens are demanding no more wars, or they will step in, they claim nuclear bombing will destroy the world they have helped build
The review includes hundreds of cases of misidentified balloons, birds and satellites as well as some that defy easy explanation, such as a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York. While it isn’t likely to settle any debates over the existence of alien life, the report reflects heightened public interest in the topic and the US government’s efforts to provide some answers. Its publication comes a day after House lawmakers called for greater government transparency during a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs — the government’s term for UFOs.
As they would have anyway.
They have been the parasite for generations. Why stop now?
The Islamic conquest of British towns means that Britain needs a Holy War against Islam for revenge, and you can start in Jerusalem if you want. The Balkans was a good place too, and there is plenty to do
Israel for America is a very dangerous ‘passionate attachment’
hey Rixon, start calling it USrael.
Welcome to your Jewocracy. No matter what party (R/D) wins–the Jews win. Dumb white gentiles still can’t figure this out–supporting in the millions both Zionist-Commie candidates. I can see the wogs voting for these Jew parties–since the Jews are on the side of the wogs & actually have setup a social system where the wogs (citizens & migrants) receive from ZWOG free money/food/healthcare/housing for life.
Any and all citizens of any country should demand that the politicians and bureaucrats allegedly representing them had better demonstrate priority and allegiance to their country, that the borders and true interests of the country had better the prime concern and focus of any and all policies and actions.
But we find that the opposite is actually the case these dystopian days, with criminally corrupt degenerates bending over backwards and forward for a tribe of maniacal psychopaths and a terrorist pariah state, with feral federal cartels waging war on their own people by not just allowing, but also aiding and abetting, hordes of Orc invaders to flood across the borders, aid and abet the abject degradation of traditional sensible values, and they even waged an overt vicious terror operation in which they treated most people like total shit and coerced them to get injected with toxic sludge that any sensible person would know would do irreparable damage and even kill untold amounts of people.
Then you have the so-called Christian Zionists, who are certainly among the most criminally insane whack-jobs polluting the planet. Who the f*ck so vigorously supports what is so clearly a tribe of satanic psychopaths and a highly toxic pariah state while so enthusiastically supporting their own slavery and demise and that of their countrymen? They do. Because some demented slobbering miscreant hallucinating in a desert blurted out the his tribe of evil degenerates and shameless grifters were “God’s chosen people”, which some hook-nosed assholes kept repeating, then wrote down, then conned a bunch of dimwits into believing despite the actions and behaviors of that tribe showing time and time again that they were utterly evil, a very early example of the power of the Big Lie over the dangerously stupid and hopelessly gullible.
Treasonous shit-wads like Hegseth, Rubio, Stefanik, Chump, Huckabee, ad nauseum, all deserve to be institutionalized in an asylum for the criminally insane or, better yet and much more fitting, thrown into the streets, stripped naked, their tongues ripped out by the root, dragged through the streets by their ankles, rolled in pig shit, and executed.
You know, bring on “Armaggedon” at this point, because we are good and truly f*cked and the overwhelming majority of people don’t have what it takes to fix this shit mix. So, bring it on. I just hope I’m around to see the looks on the faces of the Christian Zionists when God pimp-slaps them and says, “You fought for the wrong side, dumb-fuck.”
I wish people would not use the term “Judeo-Christian”. What does it mean?
It originally referred to Jews converted to Christianity but is now used to connect Christians to Judaism which can not rationally be done:
The New Testament is clear:
“Jews…displease God and are hostile to everyone…they always heap up their sins to the limit…the wrath of God has come upon them fully.”
“For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them fully.”
1 Thessalonians 2.14-16
“Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction”
2 Thessalonians 2.3
They love their destruction:
“We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own.” Maurice Samuel
And as for the so called rapture, in my opinion, it is nothing but a theory originating in the 1800’s.

How is Israel’s war against Lebanon going? Hardly a word on the television.
Israeli troops ‘reach deepest point in Lebanon since October 1 invasion’
“As many as 50,000 Israeli troops are thought to be involved in the Israeli Defence Force’s operation in southern Lebanon. Yet, the IDF has little to show for all its effort.
Yes, it has killed thousands of innocent Lebanese civilians and destroyed their homes but it has achieved little else beyond that.
As the following report reveals, the IDF has reached its “deepest point inside Lebanon” since the operation began on Oct 1, but critically that “deepest point” is JUST THREE MILES INSIDE LEBANON.
The “deepest point” was a hill seized by the IDF early on Saturday Nov 16 but even then, the IDF only held it briefly before being forced to withdraw.
In other words, the IDF operation in southern Lebanon has virtually ground to a halt in the face of stiff resistance from Hezbollah. That’s why we are hearing so little about the IDF’s operation in southern Lebanon.
Israel wont admit it but they’ve been fought to a standstill.”
—————-
This is not surprising since Israel invaded Lebanon back in 2006 and 2009 and lost most of it’s armor. Israel has failed to enter Lebanon, and Hezbollah is sending rockets into Israel daily, so Israel needs a savior. It is obvious now, just two weeks after the election, that Trump’s appointments are all Zionist zealots. Trump is taking us to war.
So what is Israel going to do? They put Trump in to save there failed war effort. Trump IS going to help Israel win their war. Trump is saying it directly – Trump says he is going to lift all weapon restrictions – like nukes.
Jews control the money and control the narrative, so Jews are going to bribe Amerikan politicians and push a narrative so the Goyim go into another Jewish war, and this is explained by the outspoken Harry Vox:
HOW THE JEWS CONTROL AMERICA

Well said, KoS.
Modern Christians only think they are so close to the Jews because Jewish propaganda has has psy-oped them.
“By their fruits ye shall know them.” What has Israel been doing? Draining the US of money and weapons we need to defend ourselves. Dancing in the the park when 3,000 people were killed on 9/11. Genociding all of Palestine and as far into surrounding countries as they can get.
I read that Trump has said he will deport anti-semites. That must mean anyone who criticizes Israel, as I do. We’ll see.
Britain fought for the Moslems in the Balkans, but I am thinking of times in the future when we have a government
