"I'm Not an Agent for the Israeli Govt," Mark Levin Says at Israeli-Govt-Sponsored Event in Jerusalem

Mark Levin traveled to Israel over the weekend for a week-long getaway that kicked off with him speaking at the Israeli-government-sponsored Jewish News Syndicate's International Policy Summit in Jerusalem.

"I'm not an agent for the Israeli government. I don't meet with the Israeli government. I don't conspire with the Israeli government," Levin said at the start of his speech on Sunday.


He went on to bash Trump's MoU while speaking before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the audience (Netanyahu arrived about half-way through his speech).





Netanyahu told the JNS Summit that the Babylonian Talmud's "Rise and Kill First" doctrine is now guiding Israel's pre-emptive war policies.




US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee—acting as usual as Israel's ambassador to the US—also spoke at the event.





This was the most viral moment of the entire event (5M views and counting):










The Israel Lobby is still reeling from the backlash Israel faced over the genocide in Gaza and they're panicking over the prospect that Trump will cut-and-run from Iran, just as he did with the Houthis.

They were expecting people to move on from Jewish issues as the Gaza war wound down but America going to war with Iran in defense of Israel—then losing said war—made everything exponentially worse.


I described the dynamic at play here in a long post (by Twitter standards) on X:


As I wrote:
What's missing in all these Israel Firsters' meltdowns attacking Trump is an acknowledgement that Trump tried to give them their war for Greater Israel but simply failed.

They all do this "Here's how Bernie can still win" schtick insisting that if Trump just went harder we could win.

Shapiro for example said last month that Trump should "just blow up Kharg Island."

It's the "easiest move for the US to make right now," he said, ignoring the fact Iran had said they'd respond to such an attack by blowing up oil infrastructure throughout the Gulf and plunging the world into a global depression.

Shapiro acts like these real-world constraints don't exist and Iran doesn't get a vote.

There's no acknowledgement whatsoever from Shapiro or Mark Levin that the US—and Israel—simply lost.

On day one of the war, the US bombed a girls' school, and Israel botched their plan to have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lead a coup by injuring him in a bombing that had been designed to free him from house arrest.

These massive blunders were followed by Israel conducting a terror bombing of Tehran's oil facilities—punishing the civilian population and poisoning them with toxic fumes followed by toxic rain.

Those bombings made whatever support there was among the civilian population for regime change evaporate overnight.

Hegseth too went on TV and gave away all US moral authority by stating, "This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be."

Trump then in early April—frustrated with how poorly the war was going—made his infamous post threatening that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

Again, this killed any hope of regime change as it made clear that the enemies of the Iranian regime are working for the destruction of Persian civilization.

Everyone knew from the start of the war that the American public had no appetite for a massive regime change war, so simply blaming the American public (or even Trump himself) for our lack of "will"—as Mark Levin has done—also doesn't pass muster.

Their refusal to deal in reality and their insistence on blaming everyone but Netanyahu is not only extremely dishonest, but an insult to their audience.

They don't actually care, of course, because serving the interests of Israel is ultimately their only goal. They know they can just "jump ship" and take off to Tel Aviv—consoling themselves in the belief they'll be protected by the Samson Option.
Case in point:


If Trump can't somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in Iran—which appears to be impossible at this point—the US-Israel decoupling is likely going to happen even sooner than we thought.
