Kristine Parks of Fox News recently said this:
“Michael Rapaport [a Jewish actor and comedian], a staunch critic
of former President Trump, admitted he was previously
‘ill-informed’ about Trump’s record on Israel, the economy.”Liberal actor and comedian Michael Rapaport announced that
he couldn’t vote for Vice President Harris in the November election
and that the Democratic Party’s treatment of Israel
had made him reconsider supporting former President Trump.“I’m now a one-issue voter: my money and Israel,” he told
former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele on the July 31
“The Sage Steele Podcast.” “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris.
I can’t do it,” he continued.
“I can’t support a party that is about all this bulls—.”Rapaport has increasingly called out his own political party for its stance on Israel.
In May, he announced President Biden had also lost his support
in the upcoming election, and he was considering voting for Trump.The actor went even further on Steele’s podcast.
“I was wrong,” he said about his past criticism of Trump.
“I was first in line talking s— about Trump.”While Rapaport said he still finds Trump’s rhetoric and behavior
unpresidential, he admitted he was previously “ill-informed”
about Trump’s record on Israel, Iran and the economy.Rapaport stopped short of saying he was going to vote for
the GOP candidate in the election but said the option was still on the table.”At the end of the day, I want my interest rates down…
and Israel needs to be protected more than ever right now,”
he said about his two voting priorities.Rapaport also called out progressives who protested
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
last month when he gave an address to Congress.“While there’s eight American hostages in Gaza, they didn’t show up,
proudly. Bernie and the burnouts, the Squad, all these race-hustling con artists,”
he blasted. “They weaponize it to a point that it’s dangerous.”“I don’t care what you think of [Netanyahu],” he continued.
“Israel is America’s biggest ally, while we’re under siege,
not just from Hamas…but also proxies from Iran.
This isn’t just about Israel.”Rapaport also slammed Hollywood and the sports world
for not speaking out on October 7 and demanding the hostages
be brought home calling the silence “embarrassing.”“We speak out about everything. It could be climate change,
it could be women’s rights, it could be abortion rights,
LGBTQ —we say stuff about everything,” he said.”The silence has been madly deafening,” he continued.
Back in May, Rapaport said that a comedy show of his,
set to take place in Madison, Wisconsin, was canceled
due to threats of violence in the wake of his support for Israel.“I was extremely p—ed off,” Rapaport stated at the time.
“I didn’t imagine, didn’t think that it would get to a point
where my beliefs and me standing up for what I know is right,
regarding Jews, regarding Israel, regarding being Jewish
and just the right thing, would get to a point where a club
would cancel my show because they are afraid of an incident happening.”The venue, Comedy on State, reportedly explained to ticket holders
in an email that the show was canceled due to safety concerns
stemming from “escalating protests” and the
“contentious nature of the dialogue” surrounding the conflict in Gaza.SOURCE: article titled: “Media Comic Michael Rapaport says

Last month the revolutionaries and the administration
converged before the cameras at meeting between
Vice President Kamala Harris and students
at George Mason University in Virginia.A female student with the voice of a child used her
audience with Harris as an opportunity to promote
the revolution’s vicious hatred of Jews, and of America.
She sniffed emotionally under her mask and told
America’s second highest elected official that her feelings
were hurt when Congress passed a bill for supplemental
funding to Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system.The move, she yowled,
“hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide
and a displacement of people,
the same that happened in America,
and I’m sure you’re aware of this.”[Kamala] Harris might have been expected to call
the student out for promoting anti-Semitic and
anti-American blood libels. But she didn’t.Instead, [Kamala] Harris empowered the young bigot.
She said she was “glad” the student shared her views.“This is about the fact that your voice, your perspective,
your experience, your truth,
should not be suppressed and it must be heard, right?
And one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?”SOURCE: article titled: “Revolution Has Come to America”

I can upshlieg everyone of your arguments but time is limited. Here is the key point, at the end of the day you and I know Trump hates muslims more than jews. Its obvious. He also has his own party all very very pro Israel and he can’t just turn on his base who he loves. He was also president for 4 years already and we see how good he was. he talks alot, says stupid things, is childish etc. Furthermore, the greatest threat to israel now and the one that can kind of be solved fairly easy is Hamas. Hamas is the one that has the hostages and who commited Oct 7. Iran isn’t easy to get rid of and less direct. Even hezbollah sure they can attack but its less direct. I also think Hezbollah and Iran are less sucidal and are worried about their own country somewhat. Hezbollah can’t have Lebanon look like Gaza. Hamas is the most evil and greatest direct threat. As far as Hamas is concerned, kamala has pity on Palestinians which is what sinwar wants. Trump couldn’t give a hoot about plaestinains. Yes one mayor supported him simply out of anger because Harris is not fully on his side. But its negligble. We all know trump is the leader of muslums bans and Islamophobia . I am a fan of Islamaphobia as I think all jews should be. Because Islam is scary.October 15, 2024 11:07 am at 11:07 am #2324775yechiellParticipantsquare root
so nice to see you learned how to cut and paste
now maybe you’ll learn the truth about that insane fella of yours. he belongs in an insane asylumOctober 23, 2024 11:00 am at 11:00 am #2325039Always_Ask_QuestionsParticipantI agree with how Chaim approaches analysis. We should disregard election messages – these are crafted to address some very specific narrow voter groups – left-handed muslims in MI or young black males in NC … Look at previous activities, especially those that came out naturally, like muslim ban that T started his term with.
October 23, 2024 11:00 am at 11:00 am #2325133Yserbius123ParticipantI hate the guy so much it pains me to say this, but he’s probably the lesser of two evils when it comes to Israel.
October 23, 2024 11:00 am at 11:00 am #2325534modernParticipantTrump still has not said anything about the successful attack that killed Nasrallah. I have already mentioned Trump’s family’s ties to Hezbollah. Perhaps even more importantly, Trump’s attitude is that he supports whatever Netanyahu wants — as long as Netanyahu pays for it himself, with zero US aid. Vance, at the behest of Trump, voted against the Ukraine Israel Taiwan aid package, to the glee of Putin and Xi. Trump made Vance his running mate shortly thereafter. Israel cannot afford to fight the combination of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, but Trump doesn’t care. Watch what he does not what he says. There is ZERO question that Harris is better for Israel.

THE REVOLUTION GUNNU HAPPEN AND YALL’ BETTER STEP OUTA THE WAY!!October 29, 2024 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #2327941ChatGPTParticipantIn response to the claims that Donald Trump could be bad for the Jewish community, it’s essential to critically analyze these concerns and present a more comprehensive view of his impact on Israel and Jewish people worldwide.
Allegations of Displeasure with Jews: The claim that Trump views Jews as ungrateful stems from his statements about polling and support. However, this assertion is taken out of context. Trump’s frustrations with certain demographics do not equate to a broad negative sentiment toward Jews as a whole. It is essential to recognize that his administration took significant steps to bolster U.S.-Israel relations and support for the Jewish community, including historic agreements like the Abraham Accords, which promote peace and stability in the region.
Outreach to Arab Communities: While the involvement of Trump’s family in engaging with Arab voters is highlighted as a negative, it is crucial to understand the context. This outreach does not signify a departure from pro-Israel policies but rather reflects a strategic political approach to building alliances. Engaging with diverse communities can enhance Israel’s security by fostering diplomatic relationships that can help counter anti-Israel sentiments.
Position on Ukraine and Putin: Concerns about Trump’s perceived positive stance towards Putin and the implications for Iran can be misleading. Trump’s approach to Russia is more complex and reflects a desire to negotiate from a position of strength. Additionally, the Obama administration’s handling of the Iran deal allowed Iran to strengthen its position in the region. Trump’s exit from the JCPOA and reinstatement of sanctions were aimed at countering Iran’s influence, which is beneficial for Israel and the Jewish community.
Comments on Hezbollah: The remark that Trump called Hezbollah “very smart” needs to be contextualized. Trump’s comments often aim to recognize the realities of geopolitics rather than to endorse the organization. His administration has maintained a clear stance against Hezbollah and has taken action to counter its influence in the region. Public support for Israel’s military actions, while sometimes muted, does not indicate a lack of support; rather, it often reflects a desire to navigate complex regional dynamics without escalating tensions unnecessarily.
Critique of Bibi Netanyahu: Trump’s comments about Netanyahu and Abbas, labeling Abbas as a “father-like figure,” reflect the complex and often strained relationships in Israeli politics. While Trump’s words may have been controversial, they do not negate his administration’s accomplishments regarding Israel. The U.S. under Trump continued to provide military and diplomatic support to Israel, demonstrating that despite personal disagreements, the commitment to Israel’s security remained unwavering.
Broader Contributions to Jewish Community: It is important to consider that Trump’s administration enacted policies that positively affected Jewish communities. The signing of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and efforts to combat anti-Semitic incidents demonstrate a commitment to protecting Jewish interests. His administration’s focus on fostering a strong U.S.-Israel relationship has had lasting benefits for Jewish people globally.
In conclusion, while it is essential to scrutinize any political leader’s actions, the evidence shows that Trump’s policies have significantly benefited Israel and the Jewish community. The concerns raised do not account for the broader context of his administration’s pro-Israel initiatives and its commitment to combating anti-Semitism. A balanced perspective is crucial in understanding the complexities of U.S. politics and its impact on the Jewish people.

WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews) — President Donald Trump has publicly

Here’s why it is clear and irrefutable that Donald Trump deserves to be re-elected, and the country badly needs his leadership.
(1) Heading in the Wrong Direction
The nation is on a troubling path. Open borders have led to an influx of unvetted illegal migrants, attracting drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking networks, and terrorists, who invade and exploit vulnerable suburban neighborhoods. Innocent lives have been taken due to this flagrant violation of our country’s constitutional laws.
Meanwhile, soaring inflation and interest rates have made life increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income Americans who struggle with exorbitant costs
Additionally, concerns over political freedom have emerged, with Biden and Harris weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents through “lawfare,” rather than protecting the American people’s freedoms.
The left is on a mission to censor the opposition, suppress the facts, and control the flow of (mis)information. This poses an existential threat to democracy which must be defeated, or the future of our republic is in peril.
(2) Dangerous Radical-Left Ideologies
Progressive policies have redefined essential aspects of American life, from “woke” gender ideologies and immorality infiltrating schools and institutions to controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affecting our everyday lives. The left has promoted late-term abortions, even during the ninth month, when a child is viable.
Biological males can access women’s locker rooms and sports, eroding women’s rights and protections. Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons, promoted by Kamala Harris, reveal how her radical agenda has shifted society away from core American values, and toward dangerous social experimentation.
(3) Attacks on Our Closest Ally, Israel
The recent, brutal assault on Israel by Hamas and other Iranian Proxies underscored the critical importance of maintaining strong relationships with allies. Biden’s lifting of sanctions on Iran has fueled regional instability, enabling adversaries to target Israel, our strongest Middle Eastern ally.
Kamala Harris has been sympathetic and supportive of pro-Hamas elements which have hijacked the Democrat party.
Trump’s first administration, by contrast, made historic strides in fostering peace in the region by strengthening Israel. These include the embassy move, recognition of sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Abraham Accords, which expanded diplomatic ties and enhanced Israel’s security.
(4) Strengthening Economy Through Capitalism
Trump’s commitment to free-market capitalism starkly contrasts with the current administration’s tilt–or total shift–toward socialism. His tax cuts and deregulatory policies served as a catalyst for business growth and prosperity, creating jobs and exciting opportunities for all Americans.
The current administration’s policies of wealth redistribution, heavy regulation, and crushing climate policies reflect a socialist direction, which stifles innovation, job creation, and personal responsibility. Trump’s policies created explosive economic growth that benefited American workers, helped the ‘little guy’ and allowed families to thrive.
(5) School Choice and Support for Communities of Faith
Trump has been a vocal advocate for school choice, which provides much-needed support to parents who want quality education options. This approach especially resonates with the Orthodox Jewish community, who face astronomical private school tuition costs. Trump’s policies would ease this financial burden and give parents more control over their children’s education, in line with their faith and values.
‘America First’ Foreign Policy and National Security: For the first time in decades, there were no wars during Trump’s presidency. His foreign policy focused on reducing U.S. involvement in costly foreign entanglements while prioritizing American interests and security. His firm stance on military strength and global engagement left the U.S. safer and respected on the world stage, in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s policies of weakness and cowardice that have led to escalating international crises and heavily diminished national security.
(6) Return to Law and Order
For decades Trump has championed justice and law enforcement, recognizing the need to keep our communities safe and secure. His commitment to law and order offers a counterpoint to current policies, which have encouraged violent crime, theft and shoplifting to surge. Under Trump, Americans knew they could depend on a leader who would prioritize the safety of their children, families and neighborhoods, while protecting and supporting the police who risk their lives daily to protect our citizens.
(7) Two Divergent Visions for America
This election represents a choice between two distinct paths: one vision that promotes a prosperous, secure, and proud America, and another that leans toward economic hardship, international instability, and ideological experimentation. Trump’s re-election would mean a return to policies that champion freedom, economic opportunity, and American pride.
It’s time to make America great, prosperous, safe, and proud again.
In Conclusion…
President Trump is the candidate with the unwavering values, moral clarity, strength, integrity, courage, resolve, and principles to lead our nation out of the many struggles we face. He is a proven winner.
Most importantly, as during his first term, Trump demonstrated leadership abilities and success, despite immeasurable obstacles and enmity from the Democrats, media, and even some Republicans.
The choice is clear.
