Finally, Israel has a real and true ally to help them protect themselves from 40 decapitated babies and Angel Face getting gang-raped and decapitated with a shovel.
Ruth Lieberman, a Jewish settler in the Israeli occupied West Bank, is determined to thwart international pressure for a sovereign Palestinian state. And her friendships with prominent U.S. Republicans from the party’s religious right are helping, she says.
Weeks after the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, Lieberman hosted pro-Israel, conservative Senator Mike Lee, a Mormon, for a Shabbat meal in her family home, Senate records show.

The conversation turned to Palestinian statehood, and Lieberman told Lee the attack had hardened Israeli opposition to the idea, she said in an interview from her home near Bethlehem, in Alon Shvut, within one of the West Bank’s largest clusters of settlements, known as Gush Etzion. Lee did not respond to requests for comment.
Such visits are helping align the views of senior Republican Party officials with settlers and the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the wake of Oct. 7, said Lieberman, a political consultant who often hosts U.S. delegations visiting settlements.
“Having friends and voices like that in very high places in the U.S. helps us,” she said of Lee and U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, an evangelical Christian who visited her family in February 2020 during the presidency of Donald Trump, long before becoming speaker. Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.
Ever since Oct. 7, Lieberman and others have intensified their efforts, hoping to influence the Republican Party’s position ahead of the November U.S. election that could return Trump to office.
Lieberman and a delegation of settler officials pressed the case at meetings with Johnson and Lee, among others, in Washington last month, according to a statement from the delegation.
Reuters visited two Gush Etzion settlements and spoke to two dozen Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel, three current and former Trump aides and three evangelical leaders between March and July. The people Reuters spoke to described grassroots groups of settlers, members of Israel’s religious right and conservative Christians working to convince Trump and the Republican Party to drop longstanding U.S. support for a Palestinian state, arguing it rewarded the Oct. 7 violence.
While Trump has suggested U.S. policy could change, neither he nor the party have been explicit about their position towards a Palestinian state if they win the election.
God blesses those who bless Israel.
You can just see how much America has been blessed since the end of the second war.
We were blessed so hard, it really just totally destroyed our country.
