OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Trump, speaking to reporters at the Group of Seven summit in France, said that without him, \u201cthere would be no Israel,\u201d and \u201cwithout the United States, there would be no Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yikes. God may have a difference of opinion on that one.<\/p>\n

Trump is the greatest president America has had in decades \u2014 since at least Ronald Reagan; some might say he\u2019s even better than Reagan, at least in certain aspects. But he\u2019s still human and therefore fallible.<\/p>\n

And boy, what a doozy of an example of his fallibility to lay claim to being Israel\u2019s savior.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking alongside Qatar\u2019s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the summit of the world\u2019s biggest economies in Evian-les-Bains, France, Trump said: \u2018Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did,\u201d Newsweek wrote.<\/p>\n

Then he said, \u201cIsrael would have been blown up a long time ago, had I not gotten involved,\u201d Newsweek wrote.<\/p>\n

Then he said, \u201cNow Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon,\u201d JNS wrote, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

And oh, yes, he also called Hezbollah \u201cthat little pin prick out there that constantly rears its head\u201d \u2014 while also chiding Israel for striking against Hezbollah in the hours before the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed, or sorta signed, or partially signed, whatever. \u2018Cause the real MOU is due to be signed and officially released to the public in a couple of days.<\/p>\n

When asked why so long to wait before releasing the text of the MOU, Trump said he wanted \u201cto get a formal setting first,\u201d JNS wrote.<\/p>\n

Then he said he \u201cnever cared about regime change,\u201d but that regime change happened nonetheless because all Iran\u2019s leaders were killed in the last months of war, leaving \u2014 ahem \u2014 only the \u201crational people\u201d left for discussing and making peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are [now] dealing with people I think are rational people,\u201d Trump said, JNS wrote. \u201cThey are not radicalized and [are] looking to help their country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rational terrorists.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new concept to consider.<\/p>\n

The thing is: Israel has been dealing with strikes from Iran\u2019s proxy terror group, Hezbollah, since late 2023, when they decided to exploit the Israel Defense Forces\u2019 war against Hamas in the south by launching simultaneous strikes in the north. Dozens of Israeli soldiers and citizens \u2014 including 12 children playing on a soccer field in a Jewish community that was suddenly bombed \u2014 have been killed by Hezbollah terrorists. Dozens more have been injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israel has retaliated.<\/p>\n

But they aren\u2019t the aggressors in this military operation.<\/p>\n

Lookie here. \u201cU.S. launches \u2018self defense\u2019 strikes on Iran after Apache helicopter shot down,\u201d NBC News reported a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what Israel has been doing in Lebanon against Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

\u201cU.S. Launches Strikes on Iran After Downing of Army Helicopter, Prompting Retaliation,\u201d United Against Nuclear Iran reported.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly how it\u2019s being played in the Israeli-Hezbollah engagement: Hezbollah strikes; Israel strikes back defensively; Hezbollah feels prompted to retaliate.<\/p>\n

Trump has expressed frustration with Netanyahu for firing off missiles at Hezbollah. But Israel has a sovereign right to defend itself.<\/p>\n

And drawing moral equivalencies between terrorists and the Jewish people on the international stage \u2014 by calling them rational people, by scolding Israel for defending itself \u2014 only enables the terrorists. Meanwhile, boasting of being the reason for Israel\u2019s existence mocks God. The Old Testament is filled with God\u2019s promises to the Israeli people \u2014 about their lands, about their people, about their divine protection. And while Trump is a powerful guy \u2014 and Iran is a powerful enemy \u2014 neither can change God\u2019s word or alter His promises or water down His will.<\/p>\n
