In response to President Trump’s bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, two enormous signs were displayed along Tel Aviv’s main highway, in a city where Iranian ballistic missiles have rained down for a week.
“Thank you, Mr. President,” the signs stated.

Trump, by most accounts, has been the most supportive president Israel has ever known; his record of support for Israel is unmatched by any other president, and has included moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights, and brokering the historic Abraham Accords.
In return, the citizens of Israel have been open about their love for Trump; one week before the November 2024 election, Israel’s Channel 12 took a poll asking Israelis who they favored in the 2024 election. Trump received a whopping 66% of the vote with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris receiving a paltry 17%.

Two months before the 2024 election, Trump stated, “We’re gathered tonight to talk about the sacred bond between the United States and Israel, and it’s a bond that’s in serious trouble. In less than three weeks, we will mark the one-year anniversary of the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On October 7, Hamas terrorists slaughtered more than 1,200 Israelis, including men, women, children, and even little, beautiful babies. They tortured, wounded, kidnapped, and horribly maimed thousands more. Unthinkable.”
“This evening, we repeat the vow that we have kept in our hearts since the terrible day in October: Never again,” he declared. “This should never have ever happened. … Weak leadership in the United States allowed this to happen, and it should never have happened.”
“If we continue down our current path, with four more years of Kamala, Israel will be faced not just with an attack, but with total annihilation,” he asserted. “You don’t have a protector. You have a big protector in me; you don’t have a protector on the other side. And I’ve said long and loud, anybody, and especially over the last few years, anybody who’s Jewish and loves being Jewish and loves Israel is a fool if they vote for a Democrat.”
Israel will face “unceasing, bloody war to obliterate the Jewish state and drive Jews out of the Holy Land. That’s what they want to do. They want to drive Jews out of the Holy Land,” he said.
“Let me spell out bluntly the danger of four more years of weakness in this White House,” he warned. “If Kamala is re-elected, Iran will quickly obtain nuclear weapons. … Iran will, right now, quickly obtain nuclear weapons capable of killing millions and millions of people, Jewish people, non-Jewish people. There’s no discrimination with nuclear weapons. … the regime will be free to unleash its militant terror brigades to turn the Jewish homeland into hell on earth. They’ve already started with October 7. Rockets will rain down from above until the Iron Dome has been exhausted. … Terrorist death squads will conduct constant raids into Israeli territory from all sides, going door-to-door and torturing, raping, kidnapping, and massacring innocent civilians.”
