Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has reportedly warned that his country’s relations with the US have deteriorated so much under the leadership of his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, that Washington is “no longer our closest ally.”

The following report is by RT:

Lapid made the comments on Monday at a faction meeting of his Yesh Atid opposition party, according to the Times of Israel. He argued that Netanyahu’s government is destroying the alliance with the US by trying to pass controversial judicial reforms.

The Israeli government is leading us into this crisis, making the biggest and most dramatic changes to the regime in our history, without holding a single discussion – not even one – about the economic, security, social and political consequences of the move.

The Americans say they have no shared values with this government. It affects every aspect of US-Israel relations – their attention and their willingness to leave their comfort zone for Israeli interests. They will not do it for the most extreme government in the country’s history.

Lapid said. In a Channel 12 news interview, he argued that the nation is being “torn in two,” and describing relations with the US as being at a historic low. 

US President Joe Biden said in March that he was “very concerned” about Israel’s democracy amid months of protests over the proposed judicial overhaul. “I’m concerned they get this straight,” he said at the time. “They cannot continue down this road.”

Netanyahu responded by saying Israel is a sovereign country and makes decisions by the will of its people, “not based on pressures from abroad.” His national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said Biden “needs to understand that Israel is no longer a star on the US flag. We are a democracy, and I expect the US president to understand that.”

More recently, the Biden administration criticized West Jerusalem’s approval for a Jewish-only settlement in the occupied West Bank. Earlier this month, Biden blasted the Israeli government’s cabinet as “extreme” and “part of the problem” in the Palestinian conflict.

On Monday, however, Biden issued a long-delayed invitation for Netanyahu to visit the White House later this year. Netanyahu spent 12 years as Israeli prime minister before a coalition led by Lapid ousted him from power in June 2021. He returned to office after winning the December 2022 election, the fifth parliamentary vote in four years.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Psalm 79:4

What Lapid said is right; and it all kind of gels together when you consider that U.S., Israel’s greatest and longstanding ally, is now on the precipice of imminent collapse. Israel is a very wicked nation from top to bottom, and the crimes they have and are committing are never allowed to be addressed, lest you be called “antisemitic.” Just because I support and believe what the Bible says concerning the restoration of the nation of Israel, a nation that God plainly said he’d bring back in unbelief, does not mean I condone all that they the people and their leaders do, for a plethora of reasons.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I donate to a Jewish cause to help the elderly, but I follow what the Bible says about them as in:
    Rom 11:28  As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. and where God says; Gen_12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Yes they are very wicked right now, just as the Bible has predicted

  • Wow. Israel is a democracy. Laodicea loves it. Be careful not to miss the point.

    By the grace of God, the United States was founded a democratic republic attempting to balance the errors of the two forms of humanist government. Unlike earlier European Bills of Rights, America’s was for all men: aristocrat & commoner alike. Rome is a despotic republic headed by supposed godmen, remember, alternating between fascism & communism, and she has succeeded in retaking the helm in America, but her time will come.

    Like Israel, the U.S. lost her way in idolatry & pride, with a lot of humanist & devilish help, & with judgment and/or chastisement the result for all in right measure, for God is not mocked. Unlike Israel, she’s not the center of history.

    Neither is Russia, though all have their trials & parts to play, and God is able to save to the uttermost, one soul at a time. Modern communist Russia was molded by Rome & U.S. traitors, killing as many biblical Christians in the collateral damage as possible by slaughter, theft & seizure, & starvation behind their ‘curtain’, & ‘wall’.

    Ditto China.

    Ditto the set-up American South in the Civil War, Rome agitating & financing, trying to manipulate by any means to keep slavery from being peacefully settled here as the evangelicals & Wilberforce had done in Great Britain’s empire, because it didn’t suit her aims. Once Great Britain reneged with the Revision, falling back toward Rome & spiritist mysticism, & heaped it on by doublecrossing the Jews, her empire upon which the ‘sun never set’ was gone in a generation.

    With Rome applauding. Vatican gold financed the Confederacy, & Robert E. Lee, himself, said that Rome was the only foreign entity to recognize them…cunning! Catholic & Masonic manipulation on both ‘sides’, & with both ‘sides’, north & south, meant to be taken back under Mama’s control so soon as it could be effected.

    Lincoln was against the planned rape of the south, desiring clemency & restoration, & he knew too much. He’d also allowed the practice of necromancy on his watch, with seances in the White House itself. He had to be shut up, & if he was saved, he was definitely out from under the Lord’s protection with that.

    He’d crossed the Jesuits in the matter of the lying prostitute Rome commissioned to set up the priest, Charles Chiniquy, when he left Rome & started talking, & exposing the plot. A Mason or a Jesuit either one with a King James Bible is a fox to be exposed & watched. And when men speak highly of ‘natural law’ and such, they mean Romish European evolving law: humanist & once removed from any Bible whatsoever. Mary Todd Lincoln was from a banking, slave-owning Kentucky family, raised like an aristocrat, with finishing school & philosophy, a meddling and troubled woman who lost three of her four sons. She was holding his hand when he was shot by a Catholic aparatchik. I’m more than content to let the Lord sort all of that out as so far as salvation goes, so much sin & so many lies, half-truths, and intrigues: who else is capable?

    There was testimony of Lincoln’s new birth after Gettysburg, and after lingering some hours, w/ Mary weeping & calling him every endearment at his side, a great look of peace came over his face and as he died, those present said he ‘smiled broadly’ & expired. That doesn’t sound like an infidel to me, but who am I?

    Make of it what you will, simultaneous with the shooting of Lincoln, another assassin shot cabinet member Wm. Seward. Playing every side, and dead men tell no tales, he had been a vocal voice against slavery, champion of immigration & Catholics. But he still knew too much.

    So, men loved the ‘gifts’ & ‘benefits’ thrown their way, learned humanist philosophy in the humanist schools, went blind, dumb, feminine & slept pretty much.

    Ruckman was Ruckman, but he sure knew how to bark! And they couldn’t kill him, because he knew their numbers, a man not only educated & of the old military families, but who knew the Lord & his word, too….gifted intellectually & with amazing recall. No doubt because of his commitment to the word & truth, the Lord kept him in spite of himself. Like all of us.

    His father was involved in the Manhattan Project. Made possible by a European Jew chased here Rome & the Nazis. Tragically, but predictably biblically, the history of mankind is a spotted one.

    Ruckman may not have understood the math to the depth of a man like Gerardus Bouw, trained in it; or as the Jew Samuel Cohen working on the Fat Man bomb there at Los Alamos, but he sure knew enough to recognize the shuck & jive ‘relativity’ of Einstein (another Jew), promoted & guided like Herod by Rome, Crowley and Huxley (no doubt amongst many others).

    Their letter (Huxley’s discussing the ‘conversation’) which descendents of his published (hitting on hard times & thinking the danger past, the transformation gone far enough) discussed how Einstein wanted to publish showing the math & how there was nothing ‘subjective’, or ‘relativistic’ about it, (which Bouw corroborates, & with that level math for those able to prove it; even this ‘quantum’ thing they talk about isn’t relative, but can be shown mathematically. I believe it’s the spiritual realm, where the stars, & angelic warfare is, coming soon to a world near you, when men’s hearts will fail them for what they see coming on the earth. Revelation 9-12. Matthew 24.

    But, the Lord brings his Romans 8:28 will to pass in surprising & amazing ways, & anyways, they wanted to exploit & to guide & bewitch the public, and controlled enough of academia, publishing & media to pretty much do it. Einstein enjoyed the privileges, his open marriage with his wife, & the coed’s, too much to buck his patrons. Humanists love to boast, & there is certainly sin & plenty to go around. To his credit, he did also write that God does not play dice with the universe, in rejection of relativity & chaos theory etc, but he never got right to our knowledge. More Platonist the Aristotelian when it came to ‘science’, stoick, but Epicurean to the hilt, too. Doubleminded, & since all philosophy & every ‘side’ but God’s side….none of that garbage can really aid what really ails mankind.

    Once they grabbed power, & Ruckman Sr. was dead, his son who followed his feminist humanist mother into ‘evangelical conservative’ politicking, was suicided with his two sons.

    So, ditto the alienation, slander, purposeful confusion & absurdity, & blame-shifting going on now.

    We’re not under the Law as the Jews were, but the principals remain. And this warning is repeated in the New Testament.

    Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

    Jer 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
    Jer 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
    Jer 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
    Jer 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
    Jer 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
    Jer 9:9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

  • You know, I got to thinking about what you said about not daring to say anything or they’d label you an antisemite (which technically means you counter all the semites, sons of Shem, including the Arabs…Dedan etc. Even the sons of Abraham & Keturah, & many believe the Chinese & first wave of immigrants out from Babel into North America, before the second wave wiped them out & replaced them, were Shemite, too.) It’s just like they used the term ‘race’ here, twisting & weaponizing it to the death of men & women of all races. Isn’t it bizarre that men hate the Jewish race so much, of whom came Christ, that they try to cancel all races, even their own, in their attempts to come against God & his people?
