This was the situation in the US under the Biden administration. It will only be worse (or better, if you're a Jew) under Trump:

The fact that Biden, Trump or any other U.S. President appoints Jews to his Cabinet/government or selects them as advosrs has nothing to do with infiltration, which the Cambridge Dictionary defines as, "the process of secretly becoming part of a group in order to get information or to influence the way that a group thinks or behaves."

I was respnding to this sentence in an earlier post:

Ps-we=mostly European wealthy zionists.

No one doubts individual Jews occupy positions of influence in some governments. That's a result of appointment based on merit, not a secret conspiracy. There is nothing sinister about Jews' participation in government.

If this was a genocide, it would be over in a week. Your use of this word is vicious. The muslims watched for years, Hamas build those tunnels. Hamas's goal is to wipe out Israel and that is genocide. Muslim civilians housed some of the hostages. They danced when Hamas paraded nude Jewish girls who were raped by Hamas. Hamas wears civilian clothes and hides in schools and hospitals. How anyone can believe a statement like you made is beyond me.

The left has redefined the word genocide such that it is meaningless.

When you read the latest "definition", it is clear, that Israel is committing genocide on "Palestinians", and it is also clear that Palestine is committing genocide on Israelis.

Once Iran falls, everything will get normalized. The Bush family scrwed everythingup with their hate of Saddam. If Iraq had been left alone, there would have been a suitable foe to keep Iran in check.

Once you removed Iraq, it gave the mullah free rein.

Best thing that can be done is leave Iran alone until it explodes then let let the Arab nations assist.

As to Gaza and Israel. There is only one solution, and that is remove Hamas and other terrorist groups entirely.

Declare it a disaster zone. Have the Arab states, with hired American companies, come in using Gaza citizens as the workforce rebuild the country to provide jobs and infrastructure to the country.

Any organization that speaks about violence is immediately arrested.

Reinstall the old UN system (but not under the UN) or a multinational force to man the border between Israel and GAZA.

The old rules were that Canada and other non-American countries would maintain a 6-month rotation. The only qualification that Canada had was tht Jewish military personnel were not allowed on the border, not because Canada did not want them, but because of the challenges that could arise.

I think it’s entirely possible to acknowledge that, while Israel has every right to defend its security and while Hamas is the worst sort of terrorist organization, Israel’s response to Hamas’s 2023 attack has mostly victimized (and killed) innocent Palestinian civilians, and its ongoing appropriation of land in the West Bank is illegal and wrong. Both Israelis and Palestinian Arabs deserve progressive leadership that honestly seeks peace and accommodation.

The very "innocent" people of Gaza, and the full muslim world celebrated the october 7 massacre.

Israel has the right of self defence.

Israel is make a stupid lenient way of handle the terror organisations.

Shall we go thorough of all the other genocides that were not “over in a week” and declare that on the basis of lasting more than one week they were not genocides?

You said "I don't know" and that was the bit I was replying to .

You hope that there be an enquiry and the enquiry will revel Israel was responsible for Oct 7 th ?

IMO , you were indeed hinting that it was a false flag operation and Israel organised it .

You clipped my post to remove the context of my opening sentence and importantly the link I provided that substantiated my belief that a full open inquiry is called for.

I have consistently stated Hamas are responsible for the heinous terrorist attack of October 7. You have consistently ignored my categorical statements on that matter.

Your opinion that I might be ‘hinting a false flag operation’ is entirely baseless, or rather based entirely on your own imagination.

Just another example of the scurrilous behavior you too frequently engage in where honest debate evades you.

Nobody has.

Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, destruction of farms and farmland and land theft all meet the current longstanding definition of what constitutes acts of genocide.

You don’t have a link to substantiate your claim that the definition of Genocide was changed in 2022, let alone changed by ‘lefties’.

So, why did you question Israel's response time and why should there be an enquiry ?

Israel is essentially a one-bomb country one nuclear strike could cause catastrophic damage. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is openly exploring nuclear capabilities, and Turkey and Egypt may follow. Regional hostility toward Israel remains deep and widespread. They are focusing on Iran where the game is widening. Pakilstan is working with Saudi and they will get that bomb and the US won't stop them.

It is also notable that Saudi Arabia has no Jewish population, whereas Iran despite its regime’s hostility toward Israel still has a Jewish community of around 10,000 people who are officially recognized and proteted by the state.

Internally, Israel faces significant structural challenges. The ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) population largely does not serve in the IDF, has high birth rates, and relies heavily on state support. Demographic projections suggest they could form a much larger share of the population within the next two decades, which could create economic and social strains if workforce participation does not increase.

At the same time, Israel is dealing with soaring real estate prices and rents, making housing increasingly unaffordable. Aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel), once a demographic and ideological strength, has slowed and in some cases reversed.

Looking ahead, unresolved tensions with Gaza and the Palestinians suggest the risk of prolonged instability. Layer onto this the growing impact of climate change which is expected to hit the Middle East particularly hard and the situation becomes even more complex.

Taken together, these demographic, economic, geopolitical, and environmental pressures could create a “perfect storm.” As Israel approaches its 100th anniversary, some argue that its long-term stability will depend heavily on continued U.S. support. Without that backing, the country could face serious strategic and economic challenges. Trump is already more in with his oil rich pals that shower money and plaudits on him than Netanhayu who always has the begging bowl out.

No justice no peace.

No justice no peace.

I write my own posts then fact check them .

Here is a fact-check of your post based on the geopolitical and demographic landscape as of February 12, 2026.

1. Geopolitical & Nuclear Claims

  • "One-bomb country": This is a common strategic assessment. Due to Israel's small size and the concentration of its population and economy in the Gush Dan (Tel Aviv) area, a single high-yield nuclear strike is widely considered an existential, "catastrophic" event.

  • Saudi Nuclear Capabilities: Factually Strong. In late 2025, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement. While Pakistan’s leadership has been vague about a "nuclear umbrella," the 2026 reality is that Riyadh is leveraging its ties with Islamabad to counter Iranian progress. The US has not stopped this; instead, the Trump administration has largely pivoted toward supporting Saudi regional "stabilization" efforts.

  • The Iran/Jewish Population Point: Factually Correct. Iran’s Jewish community is currently estimated at 8,500–10,000. They are officially recognized as a religious minority in the Iranian Constitution and have a reserved seat in the Majlis (Parliament). In contrast, Saudi Arabia effectively has no native Jewish population, though 2026 has seen a small increase in Jewish expats and business travelers due to "Vision 2030."

2. Internal Israeli Demographics

  • The Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) Challenge: Accurate. A major Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) report released this week (Feb 10, 2026) confirms your points.

    • Projections: Haredim currently make up about 14% of the population but are projected to reach nearly 25% by 2050.

    • Workforce/IDF: The report warns that without a "new social contract" for military enlistment and workforce participation (only 53.9% of Haredi men are currently employed), Israel's GDP could drop by 10% in the coming decades.

  • Aliyah & Emigration: Mixed/Developing Fact. While Aliyah hasn't "stopped," it has shifted. High-profile "reverse Aliyah" (Israelis moving to Europe or the US) increased in 2024–2025 due to political instability and the "cost of living" crisis.

3. Economic & Environmental Pressures

  • Real Estate & Rents: Factually Correct. Despite a slight cooling in 2025, Jerusalem prices rose 9.4% year-on-year. Rents in the center remain among the most unaffordable in the OECD relative to average salaries.

  • Climate Change: Fact. The Middle East is warming at twice the global average. By 2026, water security and extreme heat are recognized as "threat multipliers" for regional conflict.

4. US Support & The "Trump Factor"

  • US Backing: Complex Reality. While Trump has provided "unquestioning support" for certain military actions (like strikes on Iranian facilities), his 2026 policy is transactional.

  • Trump vs. Netanyahu: You've hit on a real "stink" in the 2026 news cycle. Trump’s "Board of Peace" and his focus on the Gaza Plan show him prioritizing "deals" with wealthy Gulf monarchs (MBS in Saudi, MBZ in UAE) over Netanyahu’s constant requests for military aid. Trump has publicly pushed for Israel to "finish the job" so he can move on to business-centric regional normalization.

Summary Table

Claim

2026 Status

Iran's Jewish Community

Confirmed. ~9k-10k residents, constitutionally protected.

Saudi/Pak Nuclear Pact

Confirmed. Historic "Mutual Defense Agreement" signed Sept 2025.

Haredi 2050 Projection

Confirmed. Projected to be 1 in 4 Israelis by 2050.

Trump/Oil Ties

Opinion-based but Fact-aligned. His policy is demonstrably more Gulf-centric in 2026.

The "Stink" Check: Your post is remarkably accurate regarding the data currently hitting the headlines this week in 2026. The demographic and economic "perfect storm" is the primary topic of the most recent IDI and Bank of Israel reports.

Would you like me to find the specific "20-point Peace Plan" details that Trump is currently pushing through his "Board of Peace"?

Perhaps because it’s a fact that deserves examination.

The extremely slow response time was a factor in the events of that terrible day.

Opinion is against Israel by the people who believe everything they are told. To every incident there is truth and a hell of of lot of lies both intentional and made up without any real knowledge.

It takes time to access the situation and decide what to do , as it takes time to mobilise an army .

Israel declared war almost immediately , within 24 hours of the attack , also, the IDF were fighting Hamas as it happened .

A full an open inquiry can examine all of those issues.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

The same cannot be said of 911.

There is no comparison between the security around Israel and the security of U.S. airways at the time of 911.

One has a heavily armed security perimeter, the other did not.

What do you think is being hidden ?

A false flag operation perchance ?

Think that be meant that the military response to 9/11 took time to materialize as well

The truth.

Hence the need for a full and open inquiry.

I can’t answer for your string of loaded questions or what you think loaded questions are necessary, unless of course you let the cat out of the bag with your ‘Hint and Deny’.
