The Dark Truth About Trump & Israel - Ari Abramowitz: The Land of Israel Fellowship

People were asking me, the Trump thing, is it good for Israel or is it bad for Israel? Because on the one hand, you know, in his last term, he arguably secured the title of the best president for Israel and in America's history. Right? He moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He recognized Israel's sovereignty in the Golan Heights. He defunded UNRWA, the terrorist network. He got moving the Abraham Accords, this historic, unbelievable peace treaties that I myself doubted was ever possible in the pre-Messianic era. You know, but but on the other hand, towards the end of his first term, he was planning on pushing through a plan which was being called the Trump peace plan. Do you guys remember that? It was officially called Peace to Prosperity, a vision to improve the lives of Palestinian and Israeli people. This is the map of the Palestinian state that he wanted to establish. And it did involve carving up the land of Israel, including parts of Judea and Samaria, to create a Palestinian state. I don't know if you guys remember, we spoke about it on the fellowship then. But they you know, they actually created a peninsula-like appendage in order to include our farm onto the part of southeastern Judea that would be in the state of Israel. Which on the one hand, I guess was considerate, they did that literally for us. It was like very flattering to know that Ambassador Friedman and Trump and well, I don't know if Trump is actually but they sat down and they worked up the maps and changed it because of our farm. But on the other hand, we would have been surrounded on all sides, God forbid, by a Palestinian terrorist state in the heart of our ancient God-given homeland. Which by the way, caused me to consider whether it may have been a gift for Trump that he lost the last elections. I really thought that. Because what that essentially did was it left him having only done good for Israel. Because Israel was going to accept his proposal, it was pretty clear. Everything indicated that the political leadership on our side was ready to accept this, despite the fact that it meant establishing a terrorist state in the hills of Judea, God forbid. But there's just no denying the truth that the Trump administration were true friends to Israel, or as true as it's ever gotten for us. Which is a very stark contrast to the very clear adversarialism or enmity of the Biden administration and Kamala Harris. Right from their arms embargo since the start of our war against Iran and their proxies in our time of need, they were embargoing embargoing weapons to their funding of our enemies and transferring funds and humanitarian aid right into the hands of Hamas building a port, a ridiculous port to circumvent Israel so they can give more and more and more directly to Hamas. I mean, who can testify more than me and Mike Ezell who are actually suing the Biden administration in a very real lawsuit regarding the morally bankrupt and horribly unjust sanctions regimes that they were unleashing on the Jews of Judea and Samaria and their need to create some sort of sick moral equivalence between Hamas and Jews. So, that's why they did it because they needed to create that. And you know what? She lost Detroit anyways. Despite all of it, there was all of that pandering, she lost it anyways. That was That was cute. But, anyways, um you know, it seems like the answer is clear. Of course, Trump's victory would be good for Israel, but I found myself second-guessing. Because when you look at the last 20 years of the US-Israel relationship, there's a clear pattern that emerges that Israel tends to implement the most self-destructive policies when we have a friend in the White House that's pressuring us to. Whether it's giving away territory or refraining to fight our wars to victory. I remember George W. Bush pushed the Gaza disengagement. I don't think that, you know, Obama would have been able to push that, but Bush was a friend, so he was successful in doing that. You know, on the other hand, under US leaders who are clear adversaries of Israel, Israel tends not to give away any territory to our enemies and we tend to be more inclined to fight the battles that we need to fight for our own survival. So, you know, after all, uh it was the day after his meeting with Kamala in the US, the Prime Minister Netanyahu assassinated Hamas leader Haniyeh in Tehran, ordered the Beeb attack, killed Nasrallah, and all these other highlights that we remember so fondly. Right? So, when we have clear adversaries in the White House, Israel tends to be much more bold and decisive in taking our fate into our hands and putting our faith where it belongs, whether we're doing it out of out of will or out of a lack of choice, we're putting our faith where it belongs, which is not in the White House or in the US administration, but rather in Hashem, and in the young lions of Judah that are defending us with their hearts and their souls in His name.
