Why Do Israel and Trump Stand More or Less Alone?

I am staggered by the idiocy, rage, and just plain old-fashioned antisemitism that rends the news of the world today.

First, let’s start with the wild anti-Israel snarling of the media today. Not more than a few days or even hours after the Iranian murder regime has mowed down tens of thousands of its people on the streets of Tehran because they asked for a government that would rule by law instead of by hate, the Trump administration took steps for mercy and law.

The response of “the world” has been largely to sneer at Trump and Israel. The Trump regime demanded a government that would not be a Third Reich in the desert. The Israeli colleagues of the USA went along with their usual courage and skill.

The whole of western Europe jeered at Israel and America. England, France, Spain, every other country, spit at the USA and Israel.

Why? Why do Israel and Trump stand more or less alone?

In the late 1930s and into World War II, the Nazis promised the world that they would rid Europe and the world of Jews. Then they came close to doing so. The Jews of Europe were murdered to the scale of six million.

The Jews have learned that when killers with weapons say they will kill Jews by the millions, they mean it.

Hence, when the killers in Tehran say, “Death to Israel. Death to America,” the Israelis will take them seriously, and the USA should, too. England may think it’s not serious. So will France. So will Spain.

But smart people who know history will take it VERY seriously. Thank God for Mr. Trump. He knows history. He and Mr. Netanyahu know that if a well-armed murder regime says they will kill the Jews and the Americans, better to believe them. Keir Starmer may not take it seriously. But the Israelis do and so should the USA.

Those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it, said a well-known historian.

Thank God, the Jews do, and so does Mr. Trump. Mr. Santayana, we trust you.
