WhatsappNow They Want Trump to Stay Out? The Left’s Foreign Influence Double Standard Is Finally Exposed
In a stunning turn, voices on Israel’s political left are now urging those close to Donald Trump, including major donor Miriam Adelson, to ensure that he does not get involved in Israel’s internal political affairs. On the right, many can’t help but view this reversal as strikingly hypocritical.
None of us want foreign interference in our domestic affairs, ever. However the hypocrisy screams to the high heavens as the political left in Israel for decades has invited, encouraged, and benefited from US pressure on Israel’s elected governments, and all of a sudden they are suddenly warning about the dangers of White House influence?
That alone should stop every fair-minded Israeli in their tracks.
Because this didn’t start today. This is part of a pattern that stretches back decades, from the Clinton years propping up Yitzchak Rabin as Israel was being racked by horrific suicide bomb attacks on a daily basis, through the Obama administration trying to get rid of Netanyahu for not buckling to the pressure to establish a state called “Palestine”, the Biden administration for that same reason, and into the present moment.
During the years of tension between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu, we saw one of the clearest examples: the V15 campaign. Organizations connected to the OneVoice Movement received U.S. State Department funding for “peace-building initiatives” that rapidly transformed into a sophisticated, American-style political operation designed to mobilize Arab voters against Netanyahu. U.S. funding literally was funneled to pay for mobilizing the Arabs to go to the voting booths to throw out Netanyahu from power.
And the pattern did not end there.
In recent years, during the tenure of President Joe Biden, Israel witnessed one of the most organized protest movements in its history, centered around opposition to judicial reform. These protests did not appear out of nowhere. They were highly coordinated, well-funded, and logistically sophisticated, requiring serious financial infrastructure behind them.
That reality triggered Congressional scrutiny in Washington, where committees are examining American taxpayer-linked funds, like USAID, flowing through international NGOs and philanthropic intermediaries and ultimately reaching Israeli organizations involved in the protests against Netanyahu’s government.
At the same time, senior U.S. officials were not neutral observers. During his visits to Israel, Antony Blinken met with leaders of the protest movement, publicly emphasized “democratic values”. But let’s ask a basic question: when is it ever appropriate for a U.S. official to enter a sovereign ally’s country and engage with leaders of a movement opposing its elected government? The answer should be simple, never. The message was clear. The Biden administration was actively siding with the movement to oust Netanyahu and his government.
And that brings us back to today.
Is there anything more absurd than this?
The Israeli left continuously called on Biden to “save” them. At their protests they literally screamed chants “Biden save us”. They worked with the Biden administration to impose sanctions on hilltop youth, on leaders of the protests against providing aid trucks to Hamas in Gaza 9, and on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich; they encouraged Biden to refuse to meet with Netanyahu throughout the entire year of the judicial reform, up until October 7.
These are the people now calling on Miriam Adelson to use her influence on Trump so that he won’t intervene in Israel?
The same camp that welcomed foreign pressure is now warning against it. The same voices that justified external influence in the name of “democracy” are suddenly outraged by it?
As if there’s no limit to the hypocrisy of the political left.
This is not about left or right. It is about a basic principle: you cannot have one set of rules when foreign influence helps your political agenda, and another when it doesn’t. That is not democracy. That is manipulation dressed up as principle.
If you are an undecided Israeli, someone trying to understand what is really happening beneath the noise, this is the moment to pay attention. Because what we are witnessing is not just political disagreement. It is a struggle over who truly shapes Israel’s future: the voters of Israel, or networks of political influence on the left that operate beyond them, aka the “deep state”.
And here is the deeper truth that many are beginning to recognize: the system that allowed this double standard to exist is under pressure. What some call the “juristocracy” or the judicial “dictatorship”, a network of legal, bureaucratic, and institutional unelected bureaucrats, is no longer operating without challenge. More Israelis are questioning it. More are pushing back. More are demanding consistency.
Because you cannot spend decades legitimizing foreign pressure, funding pipelines, and political interference and then scream against it.
As this war continues, more Israelis are recognizing the need to decisively defeat the jihadi enemy we are facing, an enemy that the political left and its mainstream media ecosystem have too often downplayed or ignored, instead focusing on fellow Jews, settlers and Ultra-Orthodox, as the enemy. And as that gap between reality and narrative widens, more Israelis are waking up, while the political left continues to erode its own credibility day by day.
Strengthen your faith in God. The truth has a way of coming to light. The deep state of unelected bureaucrats, whether in Israel or the United States, are being exposed, challenged and scrutinized more than ever before. They will be taken down.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
