Get Rid of the Smart People

Amotz Asa-El is a well-known Israeli writer. Like many in Media, he moves in a community of elites, a bubble that never bursts for people with the luxury of living in a theoretical world.

For them, telling the truth is on the same level as inserting weirdness and wacky analysis. Sometimes they write very insightful, smart things. And in the next sentence, they veer off the reservation at breakneck speed.

Witness Asa-El’s column in the Jerusalem Post this week. He does a good job describing how smart or dumb certain American presidents have been regarding Israel. Asa-El understands very well that Jimmy Carter was a disaster, giving us a lethal Iran. He appears to understand what Obama was a failure, and at least partly explains George W. Bush’s failed foreign policies by chalking it up to naivete, but he seems to race his car off the cliff when analyzing Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Asa-El keeps his credentials with the Left by calling Trump a “fraudster” (that’s his only comments on the President that moved the embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights!). But he misses wildly on Harris. He seems to give her a nod as some sort of successful prosecutor (really?) but also seems not to know where she would really land on Israel if she manages to possess the White House (pun intended) like the current usurper and fraud. He wonders if she would govern closer to Truman, or closer to Obama.

The mind reels.

Really, sir? Asa-El wonders whether Harris will be more like Harry Truman or more like Barack Obama in terms of Israel policy. Even though she tries to placate the murderous, stupid pro-Hamas mobs.

He writes that Obama was “clueless about foreign affairs.” Was he? I think not. Obama was a cold, calculating Marxist who did exactly what he set out to do: burn the Middle East to the ground. He winked at the Muslim Brotherhood and other terror proxies, while showing his fangs to Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi. These things destabilized the Middle East in ways that are still being felt. In fact, the duplicitous Obama understood foreign affairs very well, being schooled in totalitarianism since he was a teenager, and later making friends with Palestinian terrorists masquerading as activists and State Department consultants.

But for Asa-El, it’s possible that Kamala Harris will go one of two ways: statesmanlike and studied as Harry Truman, or sloppy like recent presidents from the Democrat Party.

Is he serious? Harris is the most vapid candidate for president in the history of the Republic. In fact, she is a fraud, a totally self-absorbed political hack that truly despises Israel and the Jews. She would be a disaster of historic proportions if she is installed.

Asa-El falls into the same tired trap other “intellectuals” do when it comes to current politics: repeat stale talking points about Donald Trump. They hate him with a passion because he wants to dismantle the global state and restore nationalism. In other words, he supports reality versus theoretical musings of Ivy League academics.

For an otherwise gifted writer to get Kamala Harris wrong is just stunning. My view is that Trump is crystal-clear the only statesman in the world today with the smarts, and (yes) morals and principles to right the ship.

Harris on the other hand is a ghoul, a goblin, a devil who believes nothing that she says to gullible audiences. She is for Kamala. And for the most part, she’s dumb. Her lunatic public statements are mind-boggling. As they say, her word salad answers to serious questions reveal a person void of right thinking. She promises to ON DAY ONE to fix economic problems she won’t fix right now, even though she is the only functioning member of the Biden-Harris duo. She’s a liar. Her promise to fix things on day one, when she held a major role in destroying the economy, borders on psychopathic. How could anyone follow her and support her?

How could an Israeli writer support her, when all indications are that she would be an anti-Semitic devil in the White House? Amotz Asa-El, she is an existential threat to your nation and your people. Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, and it’s not close. Not close at all.

Even Truman, who cemented his place in heaven (I kid, sort of) by recognizing the new Jewish state in 1948, would not allow a Jew in his home, because his Jew-hating wife Bess would not allow a Jew in her home. True story.

Trump and Melania, on the other hand, welcome many Jews, and back-up their warm feelings by enacting policies that protect Israel.

For at least 30 years, the “smart people,” the journalists, politicians, diplomats and statesmen…have made decisions—every single time—that endanger the Jewish state.

Maybe the smart people should sit this one out.

“Every hour in America, more than 2000 copies of the Bible are sold. Every year in America, more than 20 million copies are sold. That eternal book leaves no doubt about the divine right of the Jewish people to live in their Biblical homeland. To all those who read (or at least purchased a copy of) this holy book, it’s time to let your voices be heard in opposition to those who seek to frustrate God’s will. The time is now.” (David Friedman, X, 8/8/24)

Iran Off the Hook?

I’ll admit something: I hope Israel makes Iran’s leadership disappear, their nuclear program disappear, and Hezbollah disappear. They have that capability, easily, but despite the murderous threats continually for decades, I think the feeling is, the Israelis don’t want to set themselves up for an even worse relationship with the international community.

But now seems like a unique window. The recent attacks from Lebanon and the direct attack from Iran in April should give Israel the greenlight to preemptively strike Iran. That is the head of the global terror snake (ironic that Muslim propaganda often depicts Jews as snakes).

Will this happen, though?

As weasels often do, it appears that Iran might escape justice now. After days of high intensity after (apparently) Israel killed the Hamas devil Ishmael Haniyeh…IN TEHRAN!…the world has waited for Iran’s promised lethal response. It hasn’t happened yet. Will it come this week, on the date of Tisha B’Av? That is the date on the Hebrew calendar when both Jewish temples in antiquity were destroyed, by the Babylonians and the Romans. It was also the date that Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and from Spain in 1492. The Iranians know this and Muslim terrorists like to strike on dates significant to their victims.

Israel though has made it clear to both the Iranians and their friendly Regime in Washington that its capabilities are far ahead of even what we know. I am fully confident that Israel could accomplish a strike so miraculous it would make the Six Day War look like a minor engagement. That’s partly what the hit on Haniyeh was about: We can hit you anywhere, anytime.

Plus, the truth is, Iran’s bark is worse than its bite when it comes to full-scale war. Their trademark is lower-level terrorism. Proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran’s air force though is especially antiquated, with planes and helicopters as holdovers from the 70s, before the Revolution. Their only real hope of a devastating response to Israel is to be able to launch nukes. It appears that at this moment, they don’t have the capability to do that, but they have promised to work toward that for years. I think the Israelis know exactly where Iran is at on that timeline, and I believe Benjamin Netanyahu that he will never allow Iran to obtain nukes.

Israel has hinted at a preemptive strike.

So why not do it?

We don’t know that Israel won’t. Both sides are playing cat-and-mouse.

Israel is also dealing with an American (illegitimate) Administration that is withholding munitions. This so outrageous and evil, one wonders if we are living in reality, or not. The opposite of Richard Nixon’s message to the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs (after Israel has asked for help winning the Yom Kippur War): “Send everything that will fly,” the wacko Biden-Harris Regime is helping Hamas.

I read this week that Israel’s Defense Ministry has committed to a multi-million-dollar deal with Israeli company Elbit Systems to find essential strategic and critical materials so that the Israelis can manufacture their own ammunition and armaments, thus becoming independent of now-disloyal “allies.”

For my own part—and no one’s asking—I think it would be glorious if Israel would launch a preemptive strike against Iran and take them all out at once. Israel of course would target only Iranian military infrastructure; this would leave an additional benefit in that this would give the Iranian people the breathing space to rise up against the Regime of the mullahs.

I pray this happens.
