Mr Trump and Mr Bibi you are both wrong

TRUMP YOU ARE WRONG AND MR. BIBI YOU ARE WRONG

I would like to start this blog by reminding everyone that Donald Trump is responsible for the return of almost all of our hostages, dead and alive. He deserves much credit for that.

Now to get right to the point

Mr. Trump, Bibi is not the only person in Israel who as Premier could have overcome the Hamas attack of 7 October. There are many capable leaders in Israel. But he, as Premier of Israel on 7 October 2023 and for most of the period before that date, is responsible for the disaster on that date. So much so, that he is afraid to agree to a Judicial Commission, to investigate just exactly what happened on that day and the time before that tragic day.

And Mr. Trump, the real heroes of the response of Israel during the past two years have been the young soldiers in the regular army and the hundreds of thousands of young reservists who have been doing the fighting and protecting us for the past two years at the cost of their lives, their limbs, their mental health, their family relations and their careers, as well. They are the real heroes of the past two years!

And Mr. Bibi, President Trump, has been, as mentioned above very important to the return of our hostages, but there have been other Presidents who have been just as important to the history and defense of our State. Just to mention a few, there was a President called Harry Truman who recognized the newly created State of Israel and set an example for the rest of the world, There was another President named Richard Nixon, who (in spite of Watergate at an earlier period), during the Yom Kippur War delivered life-saving and “country” saving weapons to our country in what was probably the worst military crisis in our history.

Yesterday we saw a mutual affection society holding a news conference in Miami, in which both leaders could not hold back their mutual admiration. We watched a news conference in which the President of the United States openly admitted that he was putting pressure on the President of Israel to give Bibi a pardon for a crime for which he has not been found guilty and and a news conference in which, our Premier in his continuing apple polishing (and you know the words I really wanted to use!) announced the award of the Israel Prize to the President of the United States. And on the same day we had a member of our cabinet calling for the destruction of the President of our Supreme Court.

Are we headed towards the loss of political independence and our democratic values? Some say we have already lost them. I hope that the leaders of our opposition will wake up and really stand up to those in the country and outside of the country who are trying to destroy the democratic values of our independent Jewish, democratic State!
