Israel Backs Trump’s Twitter Threat to Iran, Says U.S. Military Cooperation at ‘All-Time High’
World Israel Benjamin Netanyahu Donald Trump Twitter Hassan Rouhani Iran U.S. Military Syria Russia Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tweeted in support of President Donald Trump's Twitter threat to his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani.

Celebrities Bash Israel, Blame Trump for Gaza Riot Deaths
A handful of Hollywood celebrities hurled social media screeds bashing the Israeli Defense Forces and blaming President Donald Trump for those wounded and killed this week during the violent and forceful breach of the Israel-Gaza border during the opening of the official United States embassy in Jerusalem. As Breitbart News reported, the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas helped organize Tuesday’s mass riot at a dozen different points along the Israel-Gaza border. The Hollywood stars quoted unverified casualty and death toll numbers, some 1,200 and 52, respectively, which were parroted by the media. Former Netflix talk show host Chelsea Handler false claimed that the violent rioters “had no weapons.” “Nikki Haley is on tv talking about Hamas being responsible for the Palestinians protesting yesterday. These people had no weapons. They had tires to burn. There was a dead baby. While Netanyahu celebrates,” Handler wrote. Handler, of course, has … [Read more...] about Celebrities Bash Israel, Blame Trump for Gaza Riot Deaths

JERUSALEM, Israel — Several main streets of Jerusalem are bedecked in Israeli and American flags in celebration of the upcoming transfer of the U.S. embassy to the city on Monday — and one major intersection in the center of the city features an explicit pro-Trump message. “Trump, make Israel great,” says one. “Trump is a friend of Zion,” says another.The signs reflect the mood in Israel, where President Donald Trump is rapidly becoming a hero, thanks in part to his decision to move the embassy, as well as his decision on Tuesday to pull the U.S. out of the nuclear deal with Iran.But they also represent the specific institution that paid for the signs to occupy their present position near the Old City: the Friends of Zion Museum. The museum opened in 2015 and “resents a technologically advanced, interactive experience that tells the story of the dream of restoration of the Jewish people to their historic homeland and the brave non-Jews who … [Read more...] about Pro-Trump Signs in Jerusalem: ‘Trump, Make Israel Great’
