ONCE AGAIN . . . VICTORY IS DENIED TO ISRAEL:
Moments After The UN Declaration Of Israel As A Sovereign State (May 14, 1948) Israel Was Not Allowed To Win.
Even Though Subsequent United Nations & British Mandate Declarations Recognized Returned Territory to Israel (Jews), that was Stolen from the Jewish State (People) More Than 2,000 Years Ago . . . Israel Was Finally Granted Just A Modicum Of Land-Mass That It Was Promised By The Post World War II Powers.
Israel Accepted What Was Finally Given To The Jewish People, Even Though it was Substantially Less than What was Promised . . .
On May 14, 1948, Israel Declared Its Independence.
On May 15, 1948, The Day After . . . Five-Arab Armies – Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon Attacked Israel, Against A One-Day-Old Nation With No Real Military, No Real Air Force, Nor Much Capacity To Supply Itself With Weapons & Ammunition.
I’m Not One Given To Believe In Miracles . . .
But Miraculously, Not Only did Israel Survive the Onslaught of 5-Trained Arab Armies and the Lack of Support from the Global Community . . . Israel Broke Through The Siege Of Jerusalem, Which Forced World Recognition.
ONLY ISRAEL IS NOT ALLOWED TO DECLARE VICTORY:
I’m Not Going To Go Through The Litany Of Battles & Wars Israel Fought Since 1948 (77-Years) . . . But I Will Write This . . . Israel Survived Every Confrontation After Being Attacked or was Fighting a Defensive War . . . And at the Moment When Israel was in a Position to Finish-Off its Enemy (Enemies), America Always Stepped-In At The Last Minute To Stop Israel From Declaring Victory.
So What Changed Tuesday . . . When Trump Forced Israel To Stop Before Iran Surrendered?
ISRAEL COULDN’T DO WHAT IT DID TO IRAN WITHOUT TRUMP’S AMERICA:
No American Feet On The Ground.
There is No Question that Israel Needed the Total Support of the United States to Do What it Did to Iran’s Military, Nuclear & Political Infrastructure. But America Could Not Have Neutered Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions Without Going Directly to War with Iran . . .
Instead Of Conducting Just One Fly-Over With Several B2 Bombers . . . With a Combined Total of 14-Mega-Bombs from an Altitude of 50,000 Feet (10-Miles) . . .
Israel Fought A Magnificent War Against The Most Vile Regime (Iran) In Today’s Context, Doing the “Dirty Work” as the Chancellor of Germany (Friedrich Merz) Recently Said, that the Rest of the World Wasn’t Prepared to Do, But Nevertheless Needed to Have Done.
Just Like When Israel Took-Out The Nuclear Reactors In Iraq & Syria, Israel Received No Show of Gratitude, Only Condemnation, In-Spite of the Fact that Israel Saved the Entire Middle East and the Western World from a Viable Nuclear Nightmare.
So Here We Go Again . . . Trump is Taking the Victory Lap for Taking-Out Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions, While Israel Did All The Dirty Work, which Endangered Hundreds of Israeli Fighter Bombers, Pilots & Mossad Agents on the Ground, while Suffering Enormous Losses of Property, Lives and the Psychological Beating Absorbed by the People of Israel – Throughout Israel.
ISRAEL DID NOT DESERVE THE INSULTING TRUMP F-BOMB:
I Understand that Emotions were Running Extremely High After the Uber Successful B2 Bombings of the Iranian Nuclear Facilities, and the Long Distance Cruise Missile Attacks that Hit these Same Facilities by the US Navy from Some 400-Miles Away.
I Also Understand The Enthusiasm-Rush Felt By President Trump . . . as the Mullah’s of Iran Petitioned America (Trump) for a Cease Fire, Partly because of the B2-Bombings, but Perhaps Mostly Because they were Getting the Crap Kicked out of them Daily by the Israelis.
So When Israel Accepted Trump’s Cease Fire, which was Almost Immediately Violated by the Iranians, Israel’s Reaction was to Pummel More of Iran’s Military & Political Assets like Never Before, which Led Trump to Erroneously Blame Iran & Israel for Violating Trump’s Ceasefire, The Day Trump Was Leaving America To Take His Victory Lap At NATO.
Not Only Was That Baselessly Insulting To Israel, America’s Greatest Ally, it was Also a Dereliction of Truth & Reality, to Publicly Chastise the Victim (Israel), While Conflating Israel With The Scum Of The Iranian Mullah’s, Especially Treating Israel like a Petulant Child for the Whole Word to See & Hear.
Trump’s Words Were Basically – “They (Israel & Iran) Didn’t Know What The “F” They Were Doing”!
YOU CAN’T TAKE BACK NASTY WORDS & INSULTS – NOT EVEN TRUMP:
For a Country that Has Spent & Survived its Entire Existence (77-Years) Under Attack from Every Venue Imaginable, Even from Several US Presidents, And Was Taking-On The Greatest Terrorist Threat To The World, Including to the United States of America . . .
That It (Israel) Didn’t Know What The “F” It Was Doing, Was An Unconscionable Statement To Make.
To Trump’s Credit . . . The Next Day At NATO, Trump Offered a Back-Handed Apology to Israel Without Apologizing, while Giving Great Credit to Israel for their Gallant War Against the Evils of Iran, Which Didn’t Change What Trump Said, And Will Be Remembered By All Who Heard-It.
Remember This . . . Israel was Brutally Attacked On October 7, 2023 by the Gaza Palestinians (Hamas) from the East. And then on October 8, 2023, On-Came the Ruthless Missile & Drone Onslaught from Hezbollah that Forced the Israelis in the North of Israel to Abandon their Whole Communities. And then Came the Houthi Missile Attacks on Central Israel, all the While Israel was Literally Engaged with Hand-To-Hand Combat Against the Gaza Palestinians, For Israel To Free Its People & Other Nationalities Taken Hostage.
At The Time Of The Trump/Iranian Cease Fire . . . Israel Had Already Lost Nearly 900-Soldiers Killed, Thousands Wounded, 1,200 Innocent Civilians Brutalized like Animals & Hundreds Kidnapped . . . All At The Behest Of The Proxies Of The Iranian Savages.
During The 12-Day War . . . The Day Didn’t Pass Without Extraordinary Israeli Fighter Pilots, Air Tanker Refuelers & Mossad Special Forces Performing Logistics on the Ground Throughout Iran.
NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM AMERICA – AS I PREVIOUSLY WROTE . . .
Without American Munitions, Intelligence, Anti-Missile Defense Systems on Land and at Sea, Plus US Satellite Reconnaissance, and Help to Refuel Israeli Fighter Jets in Air, Israel Could Not Have Been Successful, Since Israel Would Have Run-Out of all the War Materiel they Needed . . . And Would Have Been Swamped By Huge Enemy Numbers.
But Remember This . . . While Israel Fought a Brutal War on 7-Fronts for Almost Two Years, and a Relentless Campaign Against the Head of the Terrorist Snake (Iran), Suffering Significant Death & Destruction in Israel . . . America Launched Just One Strike Against Iran, as Magnificent as it was, Compared To Israel’s Unbelievable Military Challenge At Home & Abroad.
I Do Not Minimize America’s War Contributions, Especially & Including the B2 Bombings – But Give Credit Where Credit Is Due . . . Israel Has Given the Entire World at Worst a Multi-Year Reprieve from the Terrorists of Iran, And At Best, Perhaps Iranian Regime Change & A Brave New World In The Middle East.
In Summation . . . I Understand Why Trump Wouldn’t Want Israel To Score A Real Victory over Iran . . . Because with a Battered Iran on the Brink of Collapse, (Trump) Had a Wonderful Bargaining Chip with Russia & China for Iran to Keep their Oil Flowing. It Was Good For Business.
But Maybe, After All Is Said & Done . . . America will Not Get in the Way For a Total Israeli Victory over Gaza, with Israel Reclaiming Gaza . . . That Ariel Sharon Never Had The Right To Give Away 30-Years Ago (1994), Because of the Lopsided Anti-Israel Dreaded Oslo Agreement, which the Palestinians Violated the Moment it was Passed.
Is Iran A Safer Country? – For The Time Being Yes.
Can Iran Become A Long-Term Safer Country? – Yes.
Can Iran Become Allied With Israel Again, as it was Before the Fall of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, which was Engineered & Helped Along by Jimmy Carter? . . . Yes!
HERE IS THE BOTTOM-LINE:
The Spectacular Defeat Of Iran, Which Turned-Out To Be The Paper-Tiger-Bully Of The Middle East . . . Has Opened the Door to Massive Changes to the Middle East . . . And Subsequently To The Entire Planet.
In Short – Israel Bled Plenty For The Rest Of The World To Be Free – Israel Is Not An “F-ing” Country.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

I’m not sure where you are getting your information, but President Trump praised Israel for what they did. When our “News liar” media reported that our military’s part in dropping bunker bombs to get deeper into the Iranian nuclear sites to totally destroy them was not successful, our President lost it and was enraged that our military was treated so terribly by our media. Today Sec. of Defense Hegseth set them straight. Trust me. We patriots KNOW what Israel has done to make us all safe
Before You Get Testy . . . I Saw & Heard His Exact Words In A News Gaggle As He Was About To Get On His Helicopter, Just As I Reported Them – HG:
Howard, I am hopeful Mossad will continue to cut off the head of the snake and free the Iranian people! Shalom.
From Your Mouth To God’s Ears – HG:
Greetings: My opinion? I strongly believe that after all was said and done, a determination was made by Israel and America that the Iranian people were NOT willing to throw out the Mullahs & Ayatollah. That being said, Trump had to make a decision to end the fighting since going any further was NOT going to achieve the goal of regime change. So, we have a neutered Iran with no nuclear enrichment. I CONSIDER THAT A WIN!!! God Bless Israel, God Bless President Trump and God Bless America!
Happy you see it Howard. Trump saved the Ayatollah, the Mullahs and the Iranian regime, wrecking any possibility of the Iranian people rising up for their freedom. All while denying Israel a win in an existential battle. Barack Trump. I’m furious.
Iran’s nuclear capability has been obliterated; that’s a great thing for Israel and for the rest of the world. Let’s hope with Iran neutered as well as all their financed armies elsewhere (Hamas, etc.), there truly will be peace in the Middle East, for now anyway. And let’s hope Iran’s demise is a warning for Russia and China.
Howard, when President Trump said Israel and Iran don’t know what the “F” they’re doing, he is not only insulting Netanyahu, but dismissing the deaths of Israelis from Iran’s hundreds of ballistic missiles aimed at civilians. Show Donald Trump pictures of Israel where bombs had to fall. Yes, and show him the ruins of buildings once so tall. Israel DID NOT deserve to be scolded. For shame !!!
You Said It Better Than Me – HG:
Lots of bragging, boasting and claims that Irans nuclear capability has been destroyed but not one iota of evidence that anything nuclear has been destroyed. Tell me if I’m wrong. I have lost interest and confidence in Trump. The way he is going I predict in the mid terms he will lose the house and the senate. On this side of the border we have Carney, anti-America determined to make Canada part of Europe and NATO. Bill C5 passed by the senate and now Carney has Henry VIII unlimited power
I harken back to the believe that it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care who gets the credit. As a Vietnam veteran with 13 months in combat, I can tell you that Veterans don’t care about who gets the medals. Veterans care about not letting the person next to them or those entrusted to them down. Mission accomplishment overrules all other thoughts. Israel and American did it together! With all due respect, politicians and media dole out worthless credit. God Bless Warr
Those who think not much damage was done at Fordow should know it was being watched for the last 15 yrs. from the day they started construction.The MOAB was tested for years with every detail studied on how to destroy this site.The concrete dust from the bombing was visible from a space satelite.That sounds like major damage.Trump being Trump really shouldn’t surprise us after 10 yrs.If this had gone south it would have been game over for him and us.
A truce was called and both sides had to launch one last salvo. “They don’t know what the f*** they are doing” was a sign of frustration and spot on. And a New Yorker use of language. Yes the U.S., at least the portion paying attention, knows the Israelis did the heavy lifting in fighting and preparation/intelligence. This was a decisive victory for Israel and the U.S. The rest of the Mideast (Sunni) is supportive. I bet Trump has a long term plan that needs to play out. He is Israel’s fri
The legendary TV show Leave It To Beaver is playing daily on our Canadian Cable Channel. If Ward or June Cleaver heard Trump talk like this, they would wash his mouth out with soap and send him to his room. Watching that TV show brings our family back to another world. ps: my brother’s name is Wally.
One more example of his mouth getting the better of him. In the end the regime has survived . Just another so called deal ( for mid east peace ) , that hasn’t been closed.
Sorry, Gina You have the right to be wrong! Trump knows what he is doing!
The world does not recognize the value of Israel’s morality – only its strength. Now that Israel defeated Iran, Jews will be recognized as “proud” Jews – proud of being able to kick the … out of Iran. Now we have something that the world understands – power – and we will be recognized as proud Jews – as proud fierce warriors.
I do understand your distain for Trump’s actions at least as well as a German Norwegian can. I think Trump is looking at the bigger picture. He showed to WORLD the power the USA military has. But also showed the world he wants peace. Trump delt the cards. Now we will see how Iran plays their hand. The world will be watching. In the end it will be the citizens of Iran’s story to write.
I apparently see ‘things’ differently. Trump’s aim was to HALT/DESTROY Iran’s ability to produce ACTIVE NUCLEAR BOMBS to not only demolish ISRAEL, but America too. That was accomplished. The Ay & Mullahs are now murdering its citizenry accused of assisting Israel/America. If that citizenry has NO WEAPONS, NO MONEY how do you expect them to OVERTHROW THE JIHADIST? BUT..Iran’s OIL will give them wealth & the ability to Build Back Better through other countries. My Pov.
