Washington’s Quiet War on Netanyahu

We’ve learned from a new report that the Biden administration funneled nearly $880 million—yes, almost a billion dollars—into organizations directly or indirectly working to undermine Israel’s current government, to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu out of office.

Why? According to sources, the administration saw him as an obstacle to their Middle East agenda. Publicly, Biden’s team claimed “ironclad” support for Israel, but behind closed doors, they were pressuring Israel to restrain its military responses in Gaza and to allow more humanitarian aid—even as Hamas continued its terror campaign.

It’s political theater. As I see it, trying to topple a democratically elected leader of an allied nation is nothing short of an act of war.

Manufactured Protests and a Dangerous Narrative

In cities like Tel Aviv, protests erupt weekly, with hundreds of participants waving high-quality printed signs and wearing coordinated t-shirts. These aren’t grassroots movements. Someone is paying for them—and now we know who. One left-wing NGO, Blue and White Future, has reportedly received millions from U.S.-based organizations funded by American taxpayer dollars.

The protests push an absurd narrative: that Israel is holding its own citizens hostage by not surrendering to Hamas. One protester claimed,

“The hostages are actually hostages of Hamas and of the Israeli government.”

Let’s be clear: The only thing keeping this war going is Hamas. If they released the hostages and laid down their arms, the conflict could end tomorrow. But they won’t. Instead, they’ve perfected the art of psychological warfare, raising hopes for a ceasefire only to crush them repeatedly.

“Welcome—come see for yourself”

I spent the day in Majdal Shams, a red‑roofed Druze community of 12,000 tucked beneath the snow‑capped slopes of Mount Hermon. ¹* “I always assumed Druze villages were tense, maybe even hostile,” I confessed in last night’s livestream. “I was wrong.” Within minutes of parking, shop‑owners waved us inside for coffee; teenagers practiced English on my cameraman; older men insisted on walking us to the border fence so we could film safely.

“Hey, where are you from? We’re glad you’re here!” —multiple residents, Majdal Shams

That hospitality masks a raw wound. On 27 July 2024 a Hezbollah missile exploded on the town’s soccer field, killing twelve children under 12. Their photos—sun‑bleached but meticulously tended—still hang on the chain‑link. Every local I interviewed knew at least one victim.

The fence and the phones 

From our live position you can see two layers of 12‑foot anti‑climb fencing, razor‑wire and an IDF patrol road. Mobile coverage was so poor I “hyper‑threaded” four Israeli SIM cards to push the stream out—a reminder that these high mountain villages sit literally at the end of the line. Just beyond the wire lies Hadar, the first Syrian Druze village. That’s where an estimated 1,000 Israeli Druze men crossed last week, illegally, carrying supplies and the conviction that “if the IDF can’t protect our cousins, we will.”

One of those men—a newly minted Israeli citizen in his mid‑20s—told me what he saw:

“I reached Hadar and finally met family I’d only known on WhatsApp. Their homes are third‑world. They have no power or medicine. The road to Suwayda is sniper alley—ISIS towns everywhere. They want to kill every Druze.”

What began as a border skirmish has now erupted into a full-blown regional crisis. I’m reporting from Tel Aviv tonight, but the real action is happening just over the border in Syria—where Israel has launched its most aggressive military campaign in years. The target: the newly forming al-Sharah regime and its allied militias, who have begun an ethnic cleansing campaign against Syria’s Druze population.

This is not just another Middle East conflict. This is a moment of moral clarity, geopolitical gamble, and military muscle—all unfolding in real time.

“Rape, Humiliate, Kill—but Don’t Film It.”

That’s the chilling message being spread by Syrian regime-backed militias fighting against the Druze. According to vetted sources on the ground, Bedouin factions—some aligned with ISIS—have been moving house-to-house in the Druze region of Suwayda, murdering civilians and filming atrocities… until recently. Their new instruction? Keep committing crimes—but stop recording them.

These militias are not rogue actors. They are being backed, armed, and in many cases directed by the Syrian regime, now led by President Ahmed al-Sharah. And the United States—astonishingly—is signaling support for this regime, asking Israel to pause its strikes just days after U.S. officials met with al-Sharah in Azerbaijan.
