A major star usually embarks on an exciting world stadium tour about once a year, performing their greatest hits to fans who eagerly listen to them on repeat. With Donald Trump, however, we get a fascinating "stadium performance" almost every day. At the top of his “greatest hits” list are the enemies of Israel and humanity: Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Based on Trump’s statements today about Iran, his next “hit” is already clear. It’s a hit I wrote about back in August 2024: “The target—Tehran. The destruction of the Ayatollah regime.”
Since his election, I’ve been studying him, trying to understand the man. My main focus has been to determine whether, as portrayed in the media, he’s truly impulsive, inconsistent and quick-tempered—in short, an unpredictable “redhead.” I wanted to see if there were signs of the instability that worries Israelis, who fear Trump might backtrack on his supportive positions toward Israel.
I spent hours listening to his speeches in various forums, including cabinet meetings, press conferences, one-on-one interviews, and more. My initial impression? He doesn’t stop talking—about everything, everywhere. Surprisingly, this is a good thing because it allows you to assess his coherence. From my conclusions, the first and most striking observation is that Trump approaches issues like an entrepreneur. He identifies a deal or a problem that needs solving and immediately acts on it.
For example, his position on the tens of thousands of American factories that shut down and moved overseas: he aims to bring them back by imposing tariffs on imports. It’s common sense. He says: “If the U.S. is the market where you sell your goods, why not bring your production lines back to the U.S.? This way, the American economy—its primary consumer—benefits from the jobs, reducing unemployment. Bring back the factories, and the tariffs will be lifted.” Simple.
The same logic applies to Trump’s stance on the "deep state," which, according to Elon Musk’s team, has funneled billions of dollars into promoting liberal values bordering on absurdity in the U.S. and worldwide. It also applies to progressive Democratic policies like “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion” (DEI), which have damaged the American economy by forcing businesses—and even the government—to hire unqualified individuals instead of the most competent candidates. The same applies to his criticism of NATO and Europe, which have exploited the U.S. for decades, his disdain for Zelensky's supposed arrogance, and his stance on removing Palestinians from Gaza.
So, is he impulsive and unpolished? It seems not. Those among us who prefer rigid thinking might call him rash and impatient. But the wise would call this global entrepreneurial leadership with killer instincts and common sense. Choose where you want to stand.
What emerges is the picture of a man with a clear worldview. Trump consistently articulates his principles in every forum and on every topic—not just on how to fix a declining American society but also on the future of humanity as a whole. Unlike the hypocritical policies that have characterized Western countries’ relations with Israel, Trump’s perspective is clear: there are good guys and bad guys. And the good guys are not to blame for the bad guys’ situation. The good guys improve humanity; the bad guys seek to darken it.
Finally, the leader of the free world speaks without filters, free of the progressive hypocrisy that for decades has eroded the moral and ethical standing of the Jewish state. According to Trump, the forces seeking to darken and dominate the world primarily originate from Muslim countries. For Trump, Israel is a forward outpost of humanity, protecting it from these dark forces. That’s why, during his speeches, Trump’s statements repeatedly resonate with Israelis, stirring excitement and pride. For the first time in my life, I can understand the emotional cries of adoring fans calling out to their idol on stage: “…Make me a baby!”

Trump threatens Iran
(Video: X)
But the media, oh the media, won’t share these facts with you to prove what I’ve said. Or they’ll interpret them through their anti-Trump agenda.
So, here are the facts:
Based on the new, assertive American policy that Trump is gradually pushing on the world—including Arab states—the Jewish people are experiencing a reality akin to science fiction. We now have the opportunity to correct the mistakes of Zionism from 100 years ago.
What Trump consistently asserts in every speech, without wavering, is that there is only one truth: Palestinian murderers are the bad guys. Israelis, as rightful owners of their land, are the good guys. Palestinians need to leave. Iran is a warmongering state that seeks Israel’s destruction. It operates proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis) while pretending not to be involved. Thus, Trump recently warned Iran that every Houthi missile strike would be considered an Iranian attack. Common sense.
The progressive Biden administration, full of colonial guilt and burdened by Palestinian lies, refused to stop violent Palestinian protests on campuses, refused to confront the Houthis and Hezbollah, and refused to act against Iran. And if, along the way, the Jewish state disappears—so be it. Progressive Democrats in the U.S., led by President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, view Jews as directly responsible for the frustrations of murderous Palestinians, the enemies of humanity in the region. As a result, they hesitated to supply Israel with ammunition and D9 bulldozers, causing significant harm to our forces. Worst of all, they forced Israel, in the middle of a war, to allow supplies to reach enemy lines under the pretext of aiding innocent civilians in Gaza.
But for Trump, all Palestinians in Gaza are murderers or supporters of murderers. Even those not actively involved serve as their supportive environment. As the noble hostage Eli Sharabi said: “The civilians saw us suffering and cheered for the terrorists. In Gaza, there are no innocents.
Now we have an opportunity to correct Zionism’s mistakes from 100 years ago. The establishment of the “Administration for the Voluntary Evacuation of Gaza Residents” is a dramatic and almost biblical step. The story is simple: Zionism erred by treating the return to the Jewish homeland as a dual-narrative concept. On one hand, we recognized that we were returning to our land—our property, to use Trump’s language. On the other, we extended compassion and leniency toward Palestinians who settled in our home. That was our mistake. Jewish compassion worked against us. To justify this duality, some of us turned away from the Bible—our deed of ownership to the land—and began lying to ourselves.
We lied when we denied that the conflict was religious, not political. We lied when we believed that compromise would lead Palestinians to live peacefully alongside us. And we lied when we stopped discussing our biblical right to the land. Then Hamas came along and clarified, on behalf of the Palestinians, that the conflict is indeed religious. After 100 years, Jews are finally done accommodating this situation. The Jews have “gone crazy.” This is the language of our Muslim neighbors in the region.

History rarely grants humanity the chance to correct itself. We are fortunate. But the task of correction, backed by Trump’s historic support, is enormous. It is not a job for the current government. Netanyahu must focus on expanding the coalition at any cost, particularly by including one central figure currently in the opposition. He is also the only one suitable to eventually replace Netanyahu. His mere presence in the government would send the region a clear message: Israel has changed course. The Jews have “gone crazy.”
Rami SimaniHere’s an example: When Egypt recently threatened war against Israel in response to the suggestion that they absorb Palestinians, it briefly alarmed some Israelis. Yet, despite Egypt’s initial success in stirring fear, their threats vanished almost overnight. This happened when someone reminded the Egyptian leadership of a statement made 24 years ago by a senior Israeli figure who understood the language of the region. At the time, everyone condemned him for his remark. The statement? “In times of tension, Israel will bomb the Aswan Dam.” That Israeli was Avigdor Lieberman.
