Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump are considered by many disruptive, if not corrupt politicians. Neither of them follows the politically correct line, though the Israeli premier does so with more style and elegance than Trump. Both have mastered the art of appealing to the fringes of society, securing voter loyalty. No matter what accusations are made against them, they both counter with the same argument: they claim to be persecuted and say it’s all slander meant to oust them from office. This tactic works because their supporters believe whatever comes out of their mouths—whether they lie or not. The important thing is that they both go after the elite or the left-wing establishment. And you know what? Both keep getting re-elected—thanks to democracy. So, if someone has a problem with Trumpism or Bibism, they should take it up with democracy. We live in a crazy and dangerous world right now—just look at what’s happening in Amsterdam, where Jews are being lynched on the city streets by Arabs. It’s no wonder that “crazy and dangerous” leaders are being elected. Not...

I agree with much of what you say. What I see in the 2 countries that is similar is that people lifted up lawlessness: both against God’s law and man’s law. Trump, especially, has won by undermining the U.S. constitution. He believes he is above all civil law, and ultimately sees himself as not accountable to the God of Heaven.
It now becomes a game of patience. Truth will be revealed in time.
Trump’s character flaws are serious, but I also think that he’s served his sentence, in terms of 4-years’ public humiliation, for his many petty crimes, and that he should be allowed to make a new start.
Netanyahu was punished by being ousted for whatever he had done some year ago. But the problem seems that those who hate him don’t give him any chance – just want to destroy him – same as Hamas’ mentality. All they can think of is to call for strikes and protesting – even in the middle of the war!
Jonathan Cahn, a Jewish author, rabbi, prophet, gave a prophecy of biblical proportions over Trump one week before the election. Everyone, especially the nation of Israel should hear it.
Also, as far as the judgement whether truth or lies over both of these leaders should be understood in the light of God’s sovereignty. Davids adultery, murder, families rebellion did not disqualify him nor did Moses murder, incest, inability as a speaker or anger issues hinder Gods powerful hand in using these men.
Good heavens, we have just been granted magnificent mercy from our awesome God. Let’s wake up, obey & worship our maker and stop the insults.
P.s as far as the intelligence dig towards Trump how embarrassing for you. He not only is a brillant billionaire businessman with highly successful , disciplined, highly intelligent children he won the election against unfathomable odds of the most powerful country in the world, he reversed the decision to murder children from the most sanctified place on earth,
(A mothers womb) Mexico is backing down, Iran’s currency is dropping like a rock, he made Jerusalem the rightful capital of Israel etc. Etc. AND he holds the respect and friendshio of your amazing PM.
Thank you my beloved Yehovah, Yeshua.
Thank you Trump.
Thank you Netanyahu
Well said. I totally agree with you. People want a leader who will restore order, affordability, safety and normality to their country and their lives. Not a pastor or a rabbi, we have our spiritual leaders for our spiritual needs. God used so many imperfect people through the ages – David was a murderer and an adulterer yet the Bible says he was a man after God’s own heart. No man is perfect, that doesn’t mean he can’t be a good leader with good ideas and the tough spirit needed to rectify the wrongs in society.
All power is of Almighty God and as Jesus said just before His crucifixion in John 19/11. Thou coldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above:
Romans 13/1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God.
That answers all the questions.
