Mark R. Levin and general Jack Keane are genuine friends of Israel

Last Saturday I watched Mark R. Levin program on Fox News. I appreciate and like the structure of the show where the host introduces the issue of the program thoroughly and afterwards has an interview with one or two guests.

What distinguishes Mark Levin’s show is his detailed focus on the topic. His approach to preparing the viewers to the subject of the program can be compared to the lecture of the professor whose knowledge makes the student intellectually wiser.

Last Saturday, the guest of the show was retired American four-star general Jack Keane, a distinguished military commander and analyst.

In his preamble, prior to the interview with Jack Keane, Mark Levin disclosed the demonic and deceitful nature of Iranian regime, the only country where Twelver Shi’ism is official state religion. The followers of Twelver Shi’as believe that the Twelve Imams were chosen by God (Allah) and God revealed the identity of these spiritual and political inheritors to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The eleventh Imam had an infant son who becomes the Twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mandi and he was concealed from humans (Occultation) by God. The occultation will last until God grants Muhammad al-Mahdi the permission to appear to his devotees in a time when Earth would be ruled by tyranny. Then, Muhammad al-Mahdi will fight the tyranny and establish the just society for his followers. Therefore, the main and only mission of the current Iranian regime is to wait for Muhammad al-Mahdi to appear and destroy the world of unbelievers (the world we are living in) to the benefit of righteous adherents of Twelver Shi’as. Mark Levin started the interview with Jack Keane by asking his opinion of the status of negotiation with Islamic Republic of Iran.

It is worthwhile to note that four-star general Jack Keane is wearing on his left lapel a friendship flag pin of two countries: United States of America and the State of Israel. We, the Jews and the State of Israel, had lost a great friend and supporter, the US Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away on July 11, 2026. Yet fortunately, we still have people like American general Jack Keane, a bona fide ally and advocate for Jewish State.

The general does not trust the Iranian regime, and he thinks they will not go through the behavior change. After signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and agreeing to lift the blockade of Strait of Hormuz, Iranians almost immediately resumed the blockade. They are arrogant and consider themselves victorious by being able to disrupt the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The current rulers of Iran, the Iranian (Islamic) Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), will never agree to stop the development of nuclear technology with the aim to produce an atomic bomb and to advance the new more efficient ballistic missiles. For forty-seven years Iranians were lying and cheating on any agreement they signed. We are dealing with suicidal regime with ideology based on waiting for the end of time, for coming of Twelfth Imam to destroy the world we are living in. Jack Keane points that it is self-defeating for the Western world to negotiate with the present leadership of Iran. The general approves the bombing of Iranian military site and estimates that their economy is close to collapsing. He promotes as a very important step of undermining the power of IRGC, the encouragement of the population of Iran to resist the regime. The American intelligence agencies need to find the ways to supply the munition to the people of Iran in order to avoid the fate of many thousands of Iranians who demonstrated against the regime and were slaughtered by IRGC and theocratic militia Basij.

Mark Levin asked the general what he thinks of Israel and Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in relation to the conflict with Iran and what is general’s opinion of Benjamin Netanyahu as a leader of the country at war.

Jack Keane considers the cooperation between the United States and Israeli militaries unprecedented by quality and professionalism which was tested in the combine operations against Iran. He pointed that United States had never had such a reliable partner as IDF. It was confirmed by the responses the general had received from US military personal.

Benjamin Netanyahu, in Jack Keane opinion, is the right person to lead Israel to victory in its war on many fronts. The general had praised the Prime Minister of Israel commitment and determination to destroy the military opposition despite internal and external pressures.

The present state of political discourse in United States, where the membership of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party has soared from around 50,000 in 2024 to 120,000 in 2026, with young individuals constituting a major part of the organization. One of the main pillars of DSA ideology is the hatred of Israel and the Jews. How can we prevent the indoctrination of youngsters? Joining the ranks of the viewers and listeners of Mark Levin program might change their mindset.

However, there are factors preventing people from being a part of Fox News program.

Let’s look at Mark R. Levin’s political views as Wikipedia sees it:” A 2016 study which sought to measure incendiary discourse on talk radio and TV found that Levin scored highest on its measure of “outrage”. The study looked at 10 prominent radio and television programs, known for incendiary discourse on political matters, and scored content on the basis of whether it used “emotional display”, “misrepresentative exaggeration”, “mockery”, “conflagration”, “slippery slope”, “insulting” or “obscene language” and other factors, finding that Levin was the radio host who engaged in the most outrage.”

In the current world of postmodernism, post-colonialism and deconstructionism there is no place for truth based on empirical historical facts. French philosopher Jacques Derrida, the founder of deconstructionism movement, theorized that the truth is malleable. You can bend the truth any way you want to fit your political goals. Wikipedia is doing exactly this. When presenting conservative individuals or events of conservative ideology, it chooses negative information to depict right-leaning people and situations. Considering the enormous number of users of Wikipedia, its interpretation of Mark Levin’s political views might be implanted in the minds of thousands of people and repel them from association with the conservatively leaning Fox News and, specifically, Mark Levin’s program.
