What’s Missing Is Moral Clarity

   “So maybe Vance saying that he won’t throw Tucker under the bus is a good thing. Isn’t it a positive quality not to throw your friends under the bus just because you disagree with them on politics? Can’t people with different political views still get along?

   Sure they can. Depending on what you define as political views. Tucker believes that Israel was involved with the 9/11 attack. He says we haven’t been told everything about that day.

   Tucker interviewed podcaster Darryl Cooper who said that the evil one during world war 2 was Winston Churchill, not Hitler. He also said that the Nazis starved the Jews because they didn’t have enough food to go around. Tucker looked adoringly into his eyes and called him one of the great historians of our times although Cooper has never written a book or even an article about history.

   Tucker interviewed Nick Fuentes and basically had a love-in with him. During their more-than-two-hour conversation, the words Jew, Jews, and Jewish were mentioned 42 times, while Israel was spoken 51 times. Neither men are Jewish, as if I needed to tell you that.

   To be sure, Tucker has interviewed pro Israel people as well. He interviewed Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz. He barely let either man finish a sentence without getting in their face.

   Tucker said that the Israeli President Isaac Herzog was on Epstein Island. A few days later Tucker had to video an apology when Herzog threatened a law suit.

   The day after the war in Iran started, Tucker said he had information that Israeli agents were arrested in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, attempting to plant bombs. He never said another word about it in all the months since. Qatar issued a statement that no such thing occurred.

   Tucker said that Israel was involved in the war in Iran because they were going to blow up the Dome of the Rock on the temple mount and blame it on an Iranian missile. Tucker said a Hasidic Jewish group in Brooklyn NY was causing the war in Iran because they influenced Netanyahu and Netanyahu influenced Trump.

   Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made a speech not long after the Hamas October 7, 2023 terrorist attack comparing Hamas to biblical Amalek. Ancient Israel wiped out Amalek. Tucker claimed Netanyahu compared all Palestinians to Amalek and that Israel was intent on killing every Palestiniaan based on a “blood libel.”

   The day after October 7 Tucker said it was a terrible thing but it wasn’t in America and we should stay focused on what happens in this country. Then Israel launched its counter offensive in Gaza, of which Hamas is the government and Tucker reported on what he calls a genocide in Gaza every day. Last I checked, Gaza isn’t in America.

   Tucker sings the virtues of Islam daily. He speaks of being on a plane where a Muslim man got down on the floor to pray and how wonderful it was that he was submitting to God. Tucker has said he can’t think of one American killed by Islamic terrorists in the last 24 years. I’ve posted of the numerous bombings in this country.

   Tucker says that radical Islam was made up by Israel.

   At a Charlie Kirk memorial, Tucker compared Kirk’s assassination to what he called his “favorite story ever” that being hummus eaters planning the death of Jesus. Hummus is a very popular food in Israel today although it didn’t come into existence until 800 years after the time of Jesus. And it’s interesting that Tucker, who claims to be a Christian, doesn’t consider his favorite story ever to be the Sermon on the Mount or the Resurrection. Or Jesus saying “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.”

   Is it ok not to like Netanyahu? As an American, my answer is no. He isn’t Putin or Xi Jinping. He was elected by his people. I don’t care who Israel elects in their next election. I don’t vote in their election. I simply support their process and whomever they elect is fine with me.

   So why should I hate Vance for not throwing Tucker under the bus? Because Tucker is evil, not because I disagree with his politics. But because he is the number one propagandist in this country today and his propaganda is all focused on hate of one people. And I am a member of the group he hates and of which he lies about on a daily basis.

   Vance could be the next President. And when you are a friend to evil, that makes you evil too. Because it makes you an enabler.”

2. I was a registered Democrat in 2008, an independent from 2009 to 2015, a Republican in 2015, and a Dem again since 2016. I will be a Republican in 2027, and a Democrat again in 2028. NY is a closed primary state. Changes in party registration take effect after the November General Election so you have to change your registration a year in advance, no pun intended. I have supported every Republican presidential candidate since 2004. All of Israel’s enemies run in Democratic primaries and the Republican party only exists on paper the rest of
   the time. I want to vote against Vance in the primary. If he wins in the Primary, I will abstain from the General election because I believe Israel will find it easier to say no to an open Dem enemy than a false Republican friend.

4. Vance does not like Jews but understands that to show open hatred would also alienate the Evangelicals who he needs to win the GOP nomination for POTUS. He also tried to find a middle ground because he is courting the Tucker Carlson crowd in the GOP.

   Vance is a politician who tries to win by saying what he thinks will win him the job. He was also against Trump in 2016, but when there was a chance in 2024 to become VP of course, he became pro Trump. Man is a phony and not a friend of Israel or Jews.

   • I think some of them understand what he is as well and won’t cast their votes for him. Although you could be right, some of the churches never pay attention to politics even though politics pays attention to them. The churches didn’t even revolt during Covid when they lost their First Amendment rights. Foolish.

   • This was enough proof of his hatred for me:

     Vance slams West Bank sovereignty vote during visit, says he took it ‘personally’
     US vice president calls Knesset’s preliminary vote to annex parts of the West Bank during his Israel visit ‘a very stupid political stunt,’ warning it risks undermining the Gaza ceasefire plan and contradicts Trump administration policy

   • “So I just deleted a bunch of comments by a visitor named Gena Davidovich who says we make it bad for Israel if we denounce J.D. Vance. He never explained why that is and he also claimed that if we denounce Vance it will cause the Democrats to win in November. No explanation on that one either.

     Anyway he said he was unaware of Vance ever denoucing Israel. Here is what Vance said on Rogan in July:

     “There’s a lot of talk about how much the Israeli government is influencing American politics. There are certainly certain people within the Israeli government who hate the deal. And we see exact evidence. There are some people within their system, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, who are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely. Not toward any objective, but just indefinitely. I definitely think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal. When I open up the pages of Time magazine, and I see that there’s a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways. You know, my response to that is, well, go to hell.”

     He told Jews here to go to hell, in so many words.

     Back in January he posted a statement commemorating Holocaust Rememberance Day and never mentioned Jews or even Nazis, not one time. He posted:

     “Today we remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust, the millions of stories of individual bravery and heroism, and one of the enduring lessons of one of the darkest chapters in human history: that while humans create beautiful things and are full of compassion, we’re also capable of unspeakable brutality. And we promise never again to go down the darkest path.”

     Holocaust without the Jews. Oops, he just forgot?

     During world war 2, 12 million people died in Nazi concentration camps. Of those 12 million, 6 million were Jews. 50% of everyone that died in Nazi concentration camps were from one ethnic group, the Jews. 67% of Europe’s Jews died in those camps.

     The other 6 million were made up of Gypsies, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, political dissidents, trade unionists, even some black Europeans.

     All must be remembered. But when so many came from one ethnic group, the Jews, they should always be referenced at the top of any discussion about the Holocaust.

     Here’s what Vance said at a press conference about Israel:

     “My ?message to them would be twofold. No. 1: Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic ?to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. If I was ?in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”

     What Vance was esentially saying to Israel was “Shutup, everybody hates you.”

     So Vance gave even more clarity with regard to his views on Israel in an interview with the New York Times concerning the ill-fated Iran MOU. He said:

     “I find this whole freakout in Israel a little bit odd because I think that it comes from a place of mistrust, and I think that America has earned the trust of that region of the world. We’ve done a very good job by that particular country and that particular government, and I think that the idea that we’ve made a terrible deal is not supported by the facts, but just doesn’t make any sense if you consider the broad length of the relationship.”

     Vance further said of Israel:

     “You’re a country of nine million people. You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.”

     Now Tucker Carlson trashes Israel literally every single day. He is single minded on the topic. And Vance said just last Thursday that Tucker is a friend and he will not “throw him under the bus.”

     Michigan U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing a political controversy over his ties to progressive political streamer Hasan Piker, who is a flgarent Jew hater.

     El-Sayed isn’t running for President and many have torched him for not throwing Piker under the bus.

     Vance will be running for President. And Vance seems to be courting the Jew hater vote.”

     My comment: He obviously forgot to to mention that Carlson endorsed
     El Sayed.

     • While all of these strange remarks and comments may be for show, they will, sooner or later, have lot of explaining to do.
