IT IS AMERICA FIRST NOT ISRAEL FIRST
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his flunkies at Fox News a.k.a T.V. Tel Aviv, who are attempting to drag the United States into regime change in Iran involving U.S military action must understand once and forever—American foreign policy is America First and not, as it has been ever since President Harry Truman recognized Israel in 1948, Israel First.
That will be difficult to achieve if Fox News media mogul Rupert Murdoch continues to say, "Israel has been leading the charge on the front line of Western democratic civilization", as he stated at a Sydney, Australia Chanukah event on 12/23/24.
That Israel First doctrine of "leading on the front line of Western democratic civilization" since 1948 with $ billions of military support from the U..S and other countries making it impossible to prevent the rise of any challenge to Israel’s regional hegemony must change.
Murdoch in Ausralia stating Israel is leading the charge for western democratic civilization
As for Mudoch in stating, “Israel, over the last four years, has stood alone on the front line of Western democratic civilization, defending shared values with incredible resilience,” did not mention the billions of dollars in military spending by the U.S and other nations defending the Israel First doctrine of fostering failed states incapable of challenging its regional supremacy..
Truman
In 1948 Truman recognized the State of Israel despite the advice of George Marshall, who was the former Chief of Staff of the U.S Army under two U.S Presidents during World War II and was awarded the Noble Peace Prize for being the architect of the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt Europe after WW II.
Marshall
Marshall, who was the retired five-star General and highly respected U.S. Secretary of State under Truman strongly objected to the U.S. recognizing Israel. As Secretary of State, Marshall argued President Truman’s willingness to recognize Israel as being influenced by domestic political considerations that he though had no place in State Department decisions on foreign policy.
Such an action by the United States was also deplored by Marshall’s Undersecretary of State, Robert Lovett and Defense Secretary James Forrestal in opposing the contemplated recognition of Israel, based on their feelings that this would certainly antagonize the Arab states.
President Truman with Clifford in 1948
Truman turned against his national security advisors and went along with Clark Clifford, who was adviser to Truman for U.S domestic political affairs. Truman was in a close Presidential election with New York Governor Thomas Dewey and it did not take any domestic political advisor and Truman campaign manager, as Cliford was to understand that recognition of Israel would enhance Truman's election, which it did.
After Truman's decision, Marshall then had to send Dean Rusk, the State Department’s director of United Nations affairs, to New York to talk the members of the U.S. delegation to the U.N. out of resigning en masse to protest the decision.
Truman ignored Marshall and other America First foreign policy advisers and 75 years later what Marshall had predicted has exactly occurred—constant warfare and turmoil, which was after between 750,000 and one million Palestinians were expelled from their homes during the 1948 Palestine war, amounting to 75% of all Palestinians.
Truman's decision was the beginning of what was to become an increasingly frequent campaign strategy for the next 75 years, as candidates from all parties chose the path of political expediency in a quest for Jewish political donations and votes in contrast to support for foreign policies in which domestic politics or parochial interests would superseed the America First national and international interests of the United States.
Clifford with President Johnson in 1968
Clifford advisor to Truman in 1948 went on after his Truman appointment to be one of the ultimate Washington D.C. establishment insider figures, becoming among other appointments, Secretary of Defense for President Lyndon Johnson in 1968.
Netanyahu speaking before a U. S Congressional Committee in 2002 asking for regime change in Iraq and Iran and lying Iraq had WMD
Since 1948 Israel First doctrine has superseded America First foreign policy and Netanyahu has refined the Israel First manipulation of US politics for decades with information that was completely false..
For example, in 2002, Netanyahu asked for regime change in Iraq and Iran and assured the U.S Congress that once the United States toppled Saddam Hussein, “I guarantee you” young Iranians would overthrow their clerics. The Iraqi “change regime” came, chaos followed, and no Iranian uprising materialized.
Netanyahu also stated in 2002 that Saddam Hussein "was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and the means to deliver them." Netanyahu also stated the nonsense that Russians and North Koreans were in Iraq assisting Iraq in procuring WMD.

Twenty-three years later Netanyahu succeeded, again, in dragging the U.S. into his fantasy to reshape “the force of the Middle East.” A demonic feat: as America fights Israel’s wars, which is reinforcing Israel’s security doctrine of fostering failed states incapable of challenging its regional supremacy.
As the dust settles around the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, it becomes increasingly clear that Israel’s war on Tehran was not just to stop the emergence of a competing nuclear power in the region, which Israel is. The deeper objective is to sow chaos, (regime change) and divisiveness to preserve its exclusive dominance in a forever fragmented Middle East. For Israel, the chaos is not a by-product of policy—it is the policy. Anarchy is not a failure of strategy; it is the strategy. It is the Israeli business model.
The Netanyahu Israel First business plan includes Netanyahu seeking to shift the responsibility for the colossal failure of October 7 onto the shoulders of the security establishment, arguing he was not woken up in the hours before the invasion when signs of impending attack were being picked up by Israel’s intelligence services, while denying he bought into the "conception" that Hamas was more interested in governing Gaza than attacking Israel.
The Prime Minister had for years appeased the terror group with policies sending Qatari funds into Gaza, issuing work permits for Gazans and ordering limited responses to attacks.
ISRAEL MASSIVE OCTOBER 7TH FAILURES AND ATROCITIES IN GAZA ARE IGNORED
As neighboring failed states of Israel are now consumed by division, civil war, economic collapse, or sectarian violence, global headlines shift away from Israeli failures on October 7th and their atrocities in Gaza toward regional instability and regime change in Iran.
This enables Israel to act with impunity as the Palestinian suffering becomes background noise—an “unfortunate” consequence of a “tough” neighborhood rather than a direct result of a malevolent Israel First state policy.
Therefore, fueling perpetual chaos in countries like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, and now Iran serves a long-term strategic objective: to prevent the rise of any unified front capable of challenging Israel’s regional hegemony.
ISRAEL FIRST IRAN REGIME CHANGE DEMAND NEEDS TO END
After the United States military finished what Israel started in severely damaging, if not destroying, Iran's capabilities of producing a atomic nuclear bomb, any talk of United States troops being involved, despite calls from Fox News and others with similar views to continue to shield and aid Israel with American troops, needs to end.
It is insanity that Netanyahu and his Israel First cronies at Fox News a.k.a T.V Tel Aviv are promoting an Israel First regime change in Iran, which has a standing army of 900,000 in a country two and half times the size of Texas.
Incredibly insane is that Netanyahu and his Israel First nut cases could think they can convince any sane member of the MAGA America First movement of jumping in bed with Israel regime change in Iran.
Fine
Nothing is more insane in the Israel First doctrine than U.S. Congressman Randy Fine's call for “nuking Gaza, as the U.S. did in nuking Japan.” This wacko Florida Congressman Fine stepped back on nuking Gaza stating, “it would be terrible to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza, because the widespread devastation would also impact Israel.”
THE ISRAEL FIRST DOCTRINE OF REGIME CHANGE NEEDS TO END
There needs to be no more talk of regime change in Iran coming out of Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu unless Netanyahu desires to act alone and put Israel boots on the ground in Iran to take on the over 900,000 Iranian troops and 90 million Iranian citizens without any assistance from the U.S.
BANNON: “THE 12 DAY WAR IS OVER”
Conservative commentator Steve Bannon had this America First message for Netanyahu and Fox News pundits:
"The 12-day war is over," Bannon said, "So, for Tel Aviv Mark Levin at Fox News and the people that are the town criers for the Netanyahu regime, bad news: the war is over. Not going to be any more American involvement; no more support for any regime change. President (Donald) Trump is done. One and done. He couldn't have been more adamant about that."
Levine and Netanyahu
Bannon is referring to the same Levin, who in the 2016 Presidential race spent the race bashing Trump and vowing not to vote for him. Levin stated, "This guy (Trump) sounds like Code Pink. . . . He sounds like a radical kook. . . . And there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."Levin a
NETANYAHU'S ISRAEL FIRST AGENDA DREW THE U.S. INTO A WAR THEY COULD NOT WIN WITHOUT THE U.S.
Once again Israel First foreign policy drew the U.S. into a war, Netanyahu knew he and Israel couldn't finish without U.S. assistance. Netanyahu also drew the U.S. into a war he and Israel could not defend against.
No. 1 America First Trump and No. 1 America First cheerleader Bannon
As Bannon stated in Newsweek: “We need to reset. We don't have an alliance with them, just like Ukraine. We've got to stop saying they're allies, they're not allies. In the one situation we needed them to help, Netanyahu went out of his way to back out.”
Bannon was referring to how Israel and Netanyahu "bailed out" 30-minutes before the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian Major General, who was killed in January 2020 by an American drone strike ordered by Trump.
"It's an open secret," Bannon said. "Nobody trusts [Netanyahu] because he's Israel First. I have no problem with that, but it means that we must deal with them very differently because he's so Israel First.”
ISRAEL FIRST PRESSURE ON TRUMP
"There's going to be tremendous pressure put on President Trump's administration—boots on the ground, regime change—you watch," Bannon said on War Room. "The 'Israel First' crowd over at Fox and their lobbyists is [sic] gonna be relentless, and we're gonna make sure we're here to blunt it.”
"That's why they're all worked up, they're leaking oil, because we shut down their regime change, which they wanted to go to."
THE ISRAEL FIRST LOBBYISTS
The Israel First lobbyists putting pressure on the Trump administration in the United States comprises of individuals and groups, who seek to influence the U.S. federal government to better serve the interests of Israel.
Hagee
The largest American pro-Israel First lobbying group is Christians United for Israel, which has over seven million members. CUFI's founder, John Hagee, has faced criticism for his claim that Adolf Hitler was fulfilling God's will by helping to return Jews to Israel as part of a divine plan. Hagee later apologized for his statement.
Hagee's statements emphasizing the exclusivity of Christianity for salvation have also raised concerns, particularly among interfaith organizations and Jewish leaders, who worry that CUFI's support for Israel may be linked to proselytizing efforts, despite the group's official stance against such activities.
Netanyahu addressing the 2024 annual AIPAC conference in Washington D.C.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is another influential organization within the Israel First lobby.
AIPAC's super PAC funneled a combined $50.9 million into the 2022 election cycle alone. During the 2024 elections, the Israel lobby poured at least $45.2 million into winning candidates for Congress.
AIPAC contributes to both parties. For example, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson received at least $654,000, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat, received at least $933,000.
Murdoch
No bigger Israel First lobbyist is Murdoch in pushing the Israel First doctrine superseding America First foreign policy. Murdoch involvement with U.S foreign policy needs to be scrutinized cosidering Vice President J.D Vance 's trip on 6/10/25 to Murdock's ranch in Montana three days before Israel's 6/13/25 attack on Iran.
Vance
For example, to believe that the Trump administration was unaware of Israel pending war on Iran, which could lead to World War III, why was Vance leaving Washington D.C to take a quick day trip of over 1,700 miles to Montana on 6/10/25.
According to ABC, Air Force Two after leaving Washinton D.C, Vance landed in Butte, Montana – which is about seventy miles away from the Murdoch ranch around 2:30 p.m. local time and left the area in a matter of hours.
With World War III a possibility three days away, why was Vance leaving Washington to Montana to confer with the Fox News media mogul Murdock and his son Lachian, who is the chief of both Fox News and its sister corporation News Corp., which publishes the New York Post and Wall Street Journal.
The Associated Press reported the Vice President’s meeting also included several executives from Fox News, the conservative cable giant that has helped staff up President Trump's current administration. No reason for the meeting was given or what was discussed by Vance, the White House or Murdoch's Fox News associates.
CARLSON QUESTIONS CRUZ'S REASONS IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL
A recent "dust up" between Texas U.S Senator Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson reflects a growing schism within the Republican Party, when a “America First” commentator like Carlson found himself questioning war hawks like Senator Cruz in their reasons for supporting Israel.
Carlson, who supports Israel questions concerned Senator Cruz stating in the interview that, "we are commanded Biblically to defend and support the state of Israel." Cruz further stated that Biblical command and support of Israel includes the present state of Israel under the leadership of Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Huckabee
Another believer in being commanded Biblically to defend and support Israel is the U.S Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee who is claiming, "that the movement for LGBTQ equality is the greatest threat to America’s moral fiber." The U.S Ambassador to Israel makes that claim as the City of Tel Aviv, "Tel Aviv Pride is among the biggest annual LGBTQ pride events in the world."
Kirk
Turning Point Founder Charlie Kirk also addressed those GOP hawks, who are calling for regime change in Iran. Kirk like Carlson taking on Cruz for not understanding that Iran is two and a half times the size of Texas with 92 million people,
Graham
Kirk warned Cruz and U.S South Carolina Senator Linsay Graham that Iran is formerly Persia who has been able to withstand military campaigns for thousands of years. Kirk pointed our that, “Not even the Romans could defeat Persia, and a prolonged war could fully destabilize the region."
Kirk could have also warned Israel First regime change war hawks and Netanyahu that Iran's 2 1/2 the size of Texas and a population of 92 million is not Gaza, which is the size of New Jersey and a population of 2 million, and where Israel is still engaged in war for a near two years.
NETANYAHU AND IRAQ REGIME CHANGE
Netanyahu urging George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress in 2002 to invade Iraq, claiming Baghdad was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
As mentioned above, the last time Netanyahu lobbied successfully for regime change was when he joined up with then President George W. Bush and his neocons to have a regime change in the Middle East country of Iraq, which resulted in the entire Middle East erupting into total chaos.
America’s Cost of War for regime change in Iraq was 405,000 – 650,000 lives lost and $2 trillion spent.
The unintended consequences included increased sectarianism in Iran and the growth of jihadi militancy in the Middle East, and the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq ad Syria (ISIS).
The U.S. invasion of Iraq twenty years ago is rightly considered to be a major strategic blunder that destabilized the Middle East, consumed significant American resources, and sapped the power of the United States.
Twenty-three years later Netanyahu's Israel First succeeded, again, in dragging the US in his fantasy to reshape “the face of the Middle East.” A demonic feat: as America fights Israel’s wars, the region descends into chaos—reinforcing Israel’s First doctrine of fostering failed states incapable of challenging its regional supremacy.
An attempt at a regime change in Iran pushed by the same neocons who surrounded Bush, will be a bigger disaster than the regime changers caused in Iraq.
Iran is not Iraq, which was a British creation after World War II as Syria was a French creation.
Levin/Graham/Cruz/Hannity
The clueless regime changers in Iran, like Senator's Linsay Graham and Cruz, along with those at Fox News like Levine and Sean Hannity, who treat Netanyahu as some kind of Rock Star need to understand Iran’s kamikaze style war against Iraq for over eight years. A kamikaze war waged by Iran that will be replicated if the Israel First regime change is attempted.
The Iran-Iraq War, spanning from 1980 to 1988, stands as one of the most significant military conflicts in modern history, as will any attempt at regime change in Iran will result in one of most significant military conflicts in modern history.
Any attempt at regime change in Iran will be a brutal war, marked by unprecedented levels of destruction and loss and lasting implications for both nations and the broader Middle Eastern landscape.
Those individuals seeking a regime change in Iran need to understand any attempt at regime change requires them to understand the regional dynamics at play.
A conflict between Israel and Iran, as the Iraq/Iran war conflict reshaped the nations involved, will alter the geopolitical fabric of the region.
If Netanyahu, Graham, Cruz and the other Israel First hawks desire to alter the geopolitical fabric in attempting a regime change in Iran, God help us.
ISRAEL FIRST DOCTRINE HAS COST THE U.S. $BILLIONS
In support of Israel First foreign policy the United States has provided Israel with approximately $250 billion in inflation-adjusted military aid since 1959, which has seen the military/industrial complex thriving.
Israel also spends heavily on US weapons, having purchased roughly $53.5bn of military goods from the US over the past seven decades according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, including $6.5bn in the five years to 2022. Israel has made some of these purchases using military aid received from the US.
THE U.S. MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX INVOLVED WITH ISRAEL IN GAZA MILITARY OPERATIONS
Since the start of Israel's war with Hamas on October 7, 2023, the United States has enacted legislation providing at least $12.5 billion in direct military aid to Israel, which includes $3.8 billion from a bill in March 2024 and $8.7 billion from a supplemental appropriations act in April 20241. In total, the United States has approved at least $17.9 billion in military aid to Israel, the highest given in a single year since the U.S. began giving Israel aid in 1952 . To date, the United States has provided Israel $158 billion in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding.
NATIONS OTHER THAN U.S MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX INVOLVED IN SUPPYLING WEAPONS FOR ISRAEL FIRST DOCTRINE
BEFORE AND AFTER GAZA MILITARY OPERATIONS.
Italy is an important secondary supplier of weapons to Israel. Between 2019 and 2023, Italy was Israel’s third largest supplier of arms although it only provided 0.9 per cent of its arms imports. In 2021, Italy approved arms export licenses worth 12.5 million euros to Israel.
Finland is involved in production for the F-35 through its state-owned company Patria: Patria is co-owned by the government of Finland (50.1%) and Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (49.9%), part of the Norwegian Kongsberg Group.
In 2024, Patria entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Lockheed Martin to manufacture and supply landing gear doors and forward fuselages for the Israel F-35 aircraft.
Subsequently, Patria also partnered with Pratt & Whitney to collaborate on production and sustainment projects for the F-35 engine. Several sites in the Netherlands are involved in the production of Israel F-35’s.
India is one of Israel’s closest partners in the arms trade. Between 2019 and 2023, India was the largest customer of the Israeli military industry accounting for 37 per cent of its exports. As a result, India plays an essential role in ensuring that there is revenue and demand for arms companies that are fundamental to Israel’s ability to wage war.
Further, the Indian military industry produces essential components for Elbit, Rafael and Israel Aerospace Industries, including explosives in India that supply Israeli companies.
The Canadian arms industry plays a significant role in supplying key components for military systems used by Israel. These contributions include attack and training helicopters, fighter jets, and combat vehicles. Canada is also a partner to the F-35 program. Many Canadian arms manufacturers are engaged in these programs, often partnering with US-based facilities where components are assembled before being shipped to their final destinations.
France was the world’s second largest arms exporter between 2019 and 2023. The nature of its arms exports to Israel is highly secretive and the lack of transparency around arms exports is used by the French government to conceal its arms trading relationship with Israel. Nonetheless, there is some record of French arms exported to Israel during its assault on Gaza.
The Australian Government committed to join the global F-35 program in 2002. Australian industry has been involved in the production of the F-35 since 2006. Australia’s integration into the F-35 global supply chain means that every jet that flies, including the F-35A used by the Israeli Air Force during the bombardment of Gaza, contains many components manufactured in Australia.
In all, the Australian Defense Department says more than 70 Australian companies have been awarded “over $4.13 billion in global production and sustainment contracts through the F-35 program to date”.
The Spanish military industry plays a limited role as an arms supplier to Israel. The Spanish military has awarded valuable contracts to Israeli military companies, including the state-owned firm Rafael. These contracts help Israeli arms companies expand their production and development of weapons that are used against Palestinians.
Since 2008, the United Kingdom has licensed the export of arms worth £527 million to Israel. This does not capture the full scale of UK military exports to Israel as many arms export licenses to Israel are “open” and there is no cap on the number of licensed exports or their value.
Additionally, there are many licenses for exporting components to the US, for incorporation into larger weapons systems for onward export to Israel. From October 2021 up to the end of 2023, a total of £165 million worth of licenses were issued for export of components to the US, to be included in arms for onward export, where Israel is one of the authorized final destinations. Of these, £52 million worth had Israel as the only permitted destination.
