HenryMakow.com – Feb 1, 2025

We are grateful to Rebbe Trump for restoring sanity to US politics. Unfortunately it’s designed to prepare Americans for an apocalyptic war in which they will perish.

Barrett–“Unfortunately, Trump is setting himself up for failure–by siding with the craziest warmongering genocidal lunatics on the planet, the Israeli right wing. Israel has been in state of declared or undeclared war against all of its neighbors, and indeed against the people of the region, since its founding in 1948.”

Is Donald Trump a peacemaker or a warmonger? He was elected as a peacemaker. Trump built his political career by blasting the “forever wars” in the Middle East. He won the 2024 election by promising to end the war in Ukraine and by not being “Genocide Joe.” If Trump’s second term is marked by peace and prosperity, he will retire in 2028 as a success. If war and bloodshed reign, and the economy suffers, Trump will be viewed as an epic failure.

Unfortunately, Trump is setting himself up for failure–by siding with the craziest warmongering genocidal lunatics on the planet, the Israeli right wing. Israel has been in state of declared or undeclared war against all of its neighbors, and indeed against the people of the region, since its founding in 1948.

Israel is not a US ally because it refuses to declare its borders. (It can’t have borders, because it needs to keep attacking its neighbors and stealing their land.) But though ineligible for ally status, Israel has become America’s master, by having its loyalists buy politicians and the media. And the worst Israeli extremists–the West Bank settlers, who are widely loathed even among their fellow Israeli Jews–seem to think they have become Trump’s masters. If Trump obeys them, disaster will inevitably follow.
