People are finally seeing that this is the reality and that may be the reason why there has been a policy shift towards Israel within the administration https://www.timesofisrael.com/witkoff-said-to-tell-hostage-families-israel-pointlessly-extending-war-us-urging-deal/ |

Did the Saudis provide Trump with a gold toilet to use?
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/world/middleeast/trump-saudi-arabia.html Mr. Trump was escorted through Saudi airspace by three F-15 fighter jets flanking each side of Air Force One. The presidential limousine was accompanied to the Royal Court in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, by riders on Arabian horses. Musical horns blasted. An honor guard stood at attention as Prince Mohammed guided Mr. Trump into the court along a long, lavender carpet. The president couldn’t stop smiling, and understandably so. The Saudi royals are his friends and allies. They are his family’s business partners. More than most, they understand his tastes and desires. Mr. Trump, who has likened the United States to a “super luxury store,” has been installing similar gold décor throughout the Oval Office. He plans to install a ballroom in the White House and has ordered the renovation of the Rose Garden, turning it into an alfresco dining area like the patio at Mar-a-Lago, his home and club in Palm Beach. |

The War on Terror, per Brown Uni, killed over 4 million & cost $8 trillion over 24 years. It ramped up Islamophobia & shredded civil liberties. And here we are today with a Republican president meeting a former Al Qaeda leader. If only some of us had been listened to in 2001. Hasan isn't wrong on this. |

In 2001, the axis of evil was the justification for all of the wars that ensued.
Trump has now flipped the US to be on the side of the Axis of Evil. Think about it. |

Gee. What is Trump's take on Israel? |

By siding with Qatar (Hamas) he is selling out Israel. |

Nah… U.S was sold to AIPAC a long time ago, Saudis are just getting the crumbs. |

Trump owes no allegiance to Israel, he only needs to think of American interests. |

Yes he does. Adelson and all the other rich Israelis funded his campaign with hundreds of millions of dollars and now he needs to return the favor. Otherwise he could be blackmailed, just the way Clinton was blackmailed by Netanyahu. Wouldn't be surprised if you hear new Epstein stories come out soon. |

Then this is worse than we thought, not only are Israelis pumping millions to control the U.S President, now they are also spying on him to blackmail??? Who said they were our allies and friends? |

Without Netanyahu, the Gaza issue would not hav flecked progressives away from Harris in the 2024 election. No different than what Nixon did with Vietnam and reagan did with Iran. Trump owes everything to Netanyahu. |

israel is responsible for a lot of the malice that has happened over the last 15 years. Netanyahu is no friend. |

NP: Yes, but Netanyahu and his elite American supporters in the US are the reason Trump won. Biden lost power after the Gaza debacle was laid bare.

| The meeting yesterday just proved that Syria is now a Saudi client state. Saudis are expanding their sphere of influence. |
