Putting Current Events Into Context
The Good News:
President Trump recently signed an executive order allowing for the deportation of foreign students who support Hamas. This order is a critical step in protecting Americans, ensuring that those entering the U.S. on student visas are not hostile toward American values, principles, and institutions, nor supportive of terrorist organizations.
President Trump must be thanked by all Americans for being the first President to take this important stand, and protect Americans.
The Bad News:
Trump’s envoy was the one who recently pressured Israel to release thousands of Hamas terrorists—murderers responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Jews. This deal freed dangerous terrorists, allowing them to regroup and kill again. Worse, it reinforced a message to our enemies: massacring, raping, and kidnapping Jews pays. No matter what evil they do against us, they can succeed in freeing their jailed terrorists, forcing Israel to halt its military operations, and even push Israel out of territories liberated by Israel for proper defense.
Instead, Trump should have had his envoy pressure Hamas’ sponsors, Iran, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey. With the leverage America has over those countries, Hamas would have freed our hostages without Israel having to pay this dangerous price.
Would Trump ever take responsibility for signing a deal that freed terrorists into the streets of America, endangering American lives? Of course not. So why is Israel expected to accept such a deal? And of course, Prime Minister Netanyahu should have said “no” and explained why it is an impossible deal for Israel to sign on to, in order to get a much, much better deal that pressures the bad guys, not us.
The Dangerous Double Standard
Appeasing Islamonaz*is doesn’t just harm Israel—it empowers them to continue their global jihad, spreading terror to Western nations, including the U.S. The irony is staggering. By pressuring Israel into capitulating, the jihadi terrorists around the world are emboldened, making them more likely to target other nations, including America.
If Trump’s goal is to protect America from terror, expelling Hamas-supporting students is only the first step. The U.S. should fully back Israel in liberating the lands from which these terrorists attacked and ensuring Israel retains permanent control. Hamas and its sponsors—Iran, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt—should pay the price for their horrific and barbaric actions on Oct. 7th, not Israel.
What Needs to Happen
Israel must not enter into any “deals” that endanger Israel and Israeli citizens. Any agreement that President Trump himself wouldn’t dare impose on America must be off the table for Israel as well. It’s time for the U.S. to apply its global strength to hold Hamas and its enablers accountable, not its closest ally fighting on the frontlines for the whole freedom-loving world against this evil.
A Biblical Perspective
The Bible is crystal clear: “Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.” History has proven this time and again. True leadership understands this principle and acts accordingly.
President Trump put together an all-star list in his administration who understand this. I hope and pray Trump will begin listening to those advisors, who prioritize strength and morality, both for America’s sake and for Israel’s sake. Because when Israel is strong and feared, the freedom-loving world is strong and safer as well.
And I hope and pray that Prime Minister Netanyahu starts internalizing that President Trump likes strong leaders who stand up and do what they have to do! And that includes saying no to a horrible deal, even if it’s being pushed by President Trump’s people.
The Jewish Resilience
For over 3,000 years, the Jewish people have faced exile, persecution, and countless enemies determined to destroy us. We have outlasted them all. The Islamonaz*is of today will be no different. We will overcome them, and we will emerge stronger than ever.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
