CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 5, 2025
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU CAME TO WASHINGTON YESTERDAY TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. ON THE TABLE WERE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT GAZA AND THE OVERALL FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
WHILE NETANYAHU CAN COUNT ON FAR MORE SUPPORT FROM TRUMP THAN FROM BIDEN, OBAMA AND CLINTON, WE HAVE SEEN THIS SCENARIO BEFORE. THE MAJOR MEDIA, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, CONSTANTLY FAULT ISRAEL FOR INSTABILITY IN THE REGION. WHAT THEY IGNORE IS THAT ISRAEL IS NOT SEEKING TO DESTROY ANYONE, BUT ONLY TO PRESERVE ITS ANCIENT LAND FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO LIVE AT PEACE. I SUSPECT MANY ARABS, WHO MAKEUP A SIZEABLE NUMBER OF ISRAEL’S POPULATION, WISH THE SAME, THOUGH THEY WOULD RATHER BE IN CONTROL.
HERE’S THE PROBLEM MUCH OF THE ANTI-ISRAEL CROWD IGNORES. ARAB AND MUSLIM NATIONS BELIEVE THEIR GOD WANTS ALL JEWS ELIMINTED FROM THE LAND AND THEMSELVES IN POWER. THAT IS NOT A SECRET. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR DECADES AND PRACTICING IT FOR MUCH LONGER. THEY TRAIN SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BELIEVE ISRAEL IS EVIL AND MUST BE DESTROYED.
WHETHER IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM SHOULD BE DESTROYED WAS LIKELY ON THE TABLE. REGIME CHANGE IN TEHRAN OUGHT TO BE THE GOAL, OTHERWISE, THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO FESTER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
