“The funding for Israel, I just found out! We give them $4 billion a year. You know what that is?”

Fox News’ Jesse Watters seemingly had an epiphany live on air this week in which he finally understood how the US-Israeli relationship works and why the military industrial complex is so happy about it.

"We give them money,” he spells out, “so they can buy our weapons. So it's kind of like a way to launder money to the defense contractors.”

Well, yeah actually. We never thought we’d give the gold star to Jesse Watters, but with the disastrous failure for Trump in the midterms, in large part due to the war on Iran and subsequent gas-price hike, it seems that Republicans everywhere are jumping ship and grasping for anything that floats as Trump sinks.

But for the neocons who refuse to ditch Trump and Israel’s endless wars, luckily there’s a place for you to go now that Fox News is turning. You’ll be welcomed with open arms at your new home: CNN.

There was one other thing, however, in that Jesse Watters lecture that made us think, ‘huh, maybe Fox News hasn’t changed so much.’ He adds at the end:

“A lot of the Muslims that are now in the country just don't like to see US financing of Jews killing Muslims. That’s where that comes from."

“I believe Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim Brotherhood!” yelled Ted Cruz in an interview this week.

“If he were to win, Chuck Schumer could place him on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He would have access to the very highest level of classified materials! There’s every reason to believe El-Sayed would share that classified information with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists!”

In the final days before the Michigan Senate election, down-in-the-polls Republicans have resorted to their favorite tactic: ridiculous Islamophobic slurs against Abdul El-Sayed.

"He’s part of the brother, mother, mother, moth-- the Muslim Brotherhood!" DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stuttered out, thinking he was helping the cause.

“When El-Sayed goes to bed at night,” finished NRSC director Jason Theilman with the most incisive and believable blow of all, “it looks like he’s sleeping in Bin Laden’s jersey!”

Did Bin Laden… wear a jersey?

“God did the State of Israel a favor,” announced Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog in April 2025, “that Biden was the president during this period [2023 and 2024]. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did.”

The Biden Administration was there to help kick off Israel’s genocide in Gaza, supply them with endless weapons, silence protesters, and prevent international bodies like the UN and the ICC from holding the Israelis accountable.

And yet for some reason, members of the Biden Administration are continuously given second, third, and fourth chances to reverse their position, condemn Israel, and ditch Biden’s policy, which has been as disastrous politically as it has morally.

And for an even stranger reason, none of them will do it. Not even to win the White House. That’s how strong Israel’s cult holds onto them.

This week, after Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El Sayed (who is now leading in the polls) refused to bow to pressure and say that Iran poses more of a threat to the United States than Israel does, Pete Buttigieg (who is not leading in any polls) could barely wait for the question to finish before he bowed and said:

"Iran is our enemy. Israel is not — they're an ally."

Kamala Harris was only slightly less weak than Pete. “We should,” she announced, bravely, boldly, powerfully, “have acted sooner, and more forcefully." This is the same candidate who, when asked if Israel’s bombing of a refugee camp in Gaza counted as a “legitimate military target,” responded: “We are not telling Israel how it should conduct this war, and so I’m not going to speak to that.”
