Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas or Plato friend, but a greater friend truth. U.S. president Donald Trump could say: Israel is my friend, but more crucial is the United States.
From the very beginning, the “Polish Thought” environment dominated the belief that Donald Trump's election as president of the United States was better for the Polish and Polish people in general, due to the colder attitude towards the war in Ukraine. US president Donald Trump is indeed trying to minimize or even end the war that is taking place in Ukraine. It is devoid of widespread russophobia and hatred of Russian president Vladimir Putin. A war that is very costly and very dangerous for our nation. In this aspect, Donald Trump's presidency meets our expectations. The president of the United States has a geister's mentality, or possibly a more apt businessman. Ukraine is not an ideological link to him. Although I believe that he's genuinely dependent on people to halt meaningless deaths on the front. The current leader of the United States as opposed to his predecessor Joe Bidena He does not feel the request to bring democracy to all parts of the earth. He is able to trade the war in Ukraine erstwhile peace is more profitable to him.
I thought Donald Trump was a typical product of the old American Judeo Christian right and the issue of Israel is considered in terms of obviousness. He was in the past an uncritical supporter of Israel in all its length. During his first term, he recognized Golan Hills and East Jerusalem as part of Israel. He even moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, causing the arabian planet to rage. He was the 1 who proposed the creation of a hull Palestinian state on a part of the West Bank. And he finally, to Israel's delight, broke the atomic agreement with Iran.
During this term, however, Donald Trump is increasingly amazed at this topic. He no longer performs the will of the State of Israel and its lobby, as many hot people see. It stands rather firmly in the interest of the United States, which could be seen for the first time in the customs case. The media in Poland and wider Europe were convinced that the State of Israel would be treated in a peculiar way. However, the leader of the United States imposed a severe 17% work on Israel. Even Israel's immediate cancellation of duties against the United States did not help. The U.S. must pay off," the leader of the U.S. said.
President and CEO of Democratic Majority for Israel criticised Donald Trump's decision, claiming that "the imposition of a higher work on Israel than on Turkey or Iran is simply a serious mistake. This action undermines long-term and strong economical relations between the United States and Israel, a relation built on trust, common benefit and commitment to free and fair trade." Israeli paper “Haarec” noted “maybe he loves Israel, but he loves customs more.” Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanjahu He made a good face for a bad game. He did not anticipate specified a tough policy from United States president Donald Trump. But he must have swallowed a bitter pill. due to the fact that the United States is Israel's most serious trading partner and closest political-military ally." president Donald Trump survived media criticism and the judaic lobby. He stayed firm.
In president Donald Trump's strategy of values, more crucial than patting on the back is the effectiveness, winning and interest of the United States. The favorable to the government of Binjamin Netanyahu and the Zionist lobby Trump's decisions were not primarily due to his authentic pro-Israeli attitude, but to his cool calculation. An example is the Palestinian issue. During his election run before his first word he maintained a far-reaching neutrality against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was different in the second term, where he openly supported Binjamin Netanyahu's policy. But this was mostly due to the fact that his opponent was Messianic politician Joe Biden. Clear differences, contrast, contention – was essential to get a extremist electorate before the elections. Dr Wiesław Janowski rightly pointed out that criticism from Joe Biden or Barack Obama was due, not to an anti-Zionist attitude, but to hatred of the nationalism of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his even more extremist coalitions. It is simply a clash of utmost Zionist chauvinism, with liberal-left Zionism. This game has been perfectly decoded by the current White home tenant.
Donald Trump has triumphed over the Democrats twice already. present he no longer has to play for another word and has the chance to prosecute his imperialistic goals in abroad policy. Israel is not the main point of reference, but only an crucial component of the geopolitical game. The decision on judaic territorial acquisitions will, of course, not go back, due to the fact that there is no interest in it. But his actions are directed at another things, for the United States, much more important. This is Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal. It's a safe border with Mexico. It is the deposit of the losing war against Russia of Ukraine and the wealth of African countries. It is yet a desire to do business with Saudi Arabia, the United arabian Emirates or Oman. It is not only about money, but about trying to snatch or at least loosen positions, these countries from the BRICS+ circle.
It was not anyone else but the current president of the United States Donald Trump opposed another Israeli effort to bomb Iran. It is the current White home tenant who conducts far-reaching talks with Oman regarding Huti's destiny in Yemen. He was the 1 who managed to scope agreement with a extremist group unquestionably supported by Iran, which attacked ships in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. In fact, the nationalists in Israel and the pro-Israeli press in the United States were enraged by the situation of the truce. But Donald Trump realized that the further war was financially completely unprofitable to Washington. Better to make a rotten compromise than put money in a bottomless bag.
According to the pro-Israeli lobby, president Trump behind Tel-Avivu's back began secret talks between the US and Hamas about the truce and resumption of humanitarian aid supplies to Gaza. Israeli elites and conservative-nationalist media believe that these actions origin expanding cracks between Washington and Tel-Aviv/Jerusalem. The right-wing press in Israel accuses president Donald Trump of succumbing to Palestinian force and acting against Israel. In turn, the paper “Haarec” wrote that Donald Trump is putting force on the Israeli government to agree to suspend his arms before visiting the president of the United States, otherwise “Israel will be left to itself”. For specified an attitude Donald Trump is criticized not only in Israel or the United States. In Poland, false pro-Israeliism was accused of the president of the United States among another things Konstanty Gebert (David Warszawski) or Dr Marek Migalski.
However, this week Donald Tramp went much further. He called for humanitarian aid to be resumed to the Gaza Strip against Israel and, as he said, "Gaza to treat well." Tramp played Biden's propaganda card, cleaning it out of Bidenism (pseudohumanist phrases). This does not mean that the president of the United States has become an enthusiast of the Palestinian cause. It means he has a real business to do on Palestinian soil. He needs peace in the mediate East. Speaking on 15 May in Qatar, he stated that he wanted the United States of America to "take over" the Gaza Strip and turn it into a "free zone" for the benefit of all its inhabitants. president Donald Trump said: “I have ideas for the Gaza Strip that I consider very good: to make it a region of freedom, to let the United States to engage and to simply make it a region of freedom.” The thought may seem completely detached from reality. But it must be taken into account that Israel tightens the siege of Gaza and continues its military attack on the Palestinian enclave. Israel's actions are ruthless and bloody. Palestinians die massively, mostly children. In this perspective, the U.S. President's proposal, supported by Palestinians, may seem attractive. Given that they had previously been referred to as their full displacement.
It seemed even little real to normalise relations with the fresh Syrian authorities. However, the president of the United States, overnight, unexpectedly abolished all sanctions imposed by his country on Syria. Trump's decision was a surprise even to American diplomacy, which negotiated with the Syrian government the conditions for the abolition of sanctions. 1 of them was the work to defend minorities. This is simply a real problem, given the fresh clashes between government forces and armed groups of spiritual minorities of the alawites and Israel-supported druzes. Trump is simply a power politician, and he realizes how the cards of various minorities play his opponents. akin to the proposition of Saudi Arabia leaders Mohammed bin Salmani and Turkey Erdoğan Recipe met with the Syrian president Ahmad Ash-Shara. It should be noted that the current Syrian president Ash-Shara is an old enemy of the US and the full Western planet Abu Muhammad al-Jaulani. He was the leader of the fundamentalist and jihadist terrorist organization Jabhat an-Nusra (2012–2017) and commander of the Hajat Tahrir ash-Sham group, which overturned pro-Russian power in December 2024. Bashara el-Assada Syria. Lobbing trampism works. Reuters said that during a fresh gathering with an American Conservative Jonathan Bass Syrian president Ahmed asz-Shara was to propose the construction of Trump Tower in Damascus and an alliance against Iran. He was to advocate cooperation with Saudi Arabia, the United arabian Emirates and Turkey. He did not even regulation out appropriate relations with Israel.
There are no friends or enemies in politics. There's business. He understands. Viktor Orbán, George Simion, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan And that's precisely what Donald Trump understands. This is not understood by the messianists in Poland, who have mastered the political scene. The president of the United States did not take ideologists and defenders of "human rights" with him to arabian countries. His delegation included them. Elon Musk (Tesla), Andy Jassy (Amazon), Larry Fink (BlackRock) and Sam Altman (OpenAI). They want to do business, and the president of the United States sees this as an chance to build the power of his state. If Israel stands in the way of the interests of the United States, then Tramp will not hesitate on which side to stand. He's right, Constantine Gebert, who wrote somewhere that Benjamin Netanyahu might miss the predictable Joe Biden. present even he realized that he lived in the era of Trumpism and played with real cards that are on the table.
