American supporters of Israel rejoiced when Donald Trump won the 2024 presidency. But not Ari. Ari understood the dangers of having a “friend” in the White House. He remembers the Gaza disengagement plan that resulted in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and the dismantling of 4 Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. The plan was approved and supported by George W Bush, a staunch supporter of Israel. Compared that to the Barack Hussein Obama years. Here we had a president who despised Israel and worked relentlessly to weaken Israel’s position. He created the disastrous and failed nuclear deal with Iran. He embarrassed Israel on the world stage. He even turned on Israel at the UN and strayed from years of the status quo and did not veto Resolution 2334. But no land was lost during those years. Israeli politicians can’t seem to help themselves from making detrimental decisions in order to appease their allies in the White House. This is why Ari wanted Kamala to win. Not because she would have been good for Israel, but because Israel would have been able to say “no” to her. Israel would not have been able to rely on the United States. Instead, they would be forced to rely on God alone. Psalm 118:8-9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
