PELONI: Bill Ackman provides a very troubling call to have Netanyahu set aside his Right bloc partners so as to regain “credibility” and American support. This presupposes that the loss of credibility and of American support has actually been substantially based on Israeli actions rather than on the campaign of Jew Hatred which saw Astroturf parades supporting the Hamas attacks on October 7 form on the streets across the world within 24 hours of the attack. More than this, the Democratic party has sold out to embracing and promoting Jew Hating candidates in their party who actually promote the normalization of terror groups who have actual American blood on their hands, while the efforts of Tucker Carlson and others to promote Jew Hatred on the Right support an equally alarming embrace of America’s enemies including Iran and Qatar. Meanwhile the rejection of the Two State Solution and Israel’s refusal to surrender to Hamas and Iran have been the formative bases on which Israel’s “credibility” with the international community, and the Arab states, has been challenged.
Meanwhile hat is true about the international effort to delegitimize Ben Gvir and Smotrich is that they represent an intolerance for what is known as the Old Conceptzia which has over the years adopted the premise that hostile actors should be tolerated both inside and outside Israel’s borders so as to appease US, European and Arab state interlocutors who are determined to pursue the creation of a second Muslim Palestinians State (Jordan was the original Muslim Palestinian state). In fact, this is the publicly stated reason voiced by MBS for why he will not normalize relations with Israel.
Removing Ben Gvir and Smotrich from Netanyahu’s govt would change none of this and it would leave either the Left in power or a Netanyahu led govt which was dependent upon the Left which would at best be dysfunctional if not openly accepting of American demands of surrendering to Hamas and the renewal of the Two State nightmares.
Israel needs a strong independent nation, capable of resisting foreign pressure, something that Netanyahu recently referenced, rather than a return to the Old Conceptzia which was based in no small part on appeasing Israel’s erstwhile allies and enemies alike.
I said I wasn’t going to weigh in on who should be prime minister of Israel as that is a decision for Israeli citizens. I did, however, want to share one point of view from the perspective of someone who has an understanding of how Israel is perceived in America.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have caused Israel enormous reputational damage with their statements and actions which are presented in the global media as representing the voice and will of all Israelis.
As such, a government formed without Ben-Gvir and Smotrich will send a message to the rest of the world that Israel is turning a new page.
This will allow Israel to rebuild lost credibility, increase the opportunity for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and enjoy a better relationship with Democrats and Republicans and Americans at large.
